Pine square spindle balusters measuring 32mm x 32mm x 900mm are a straightforward choice for staircase balustrades, landing infills and decking panels. Cut from pine with a clean square profile, they accept paint or stain readily and suit both traditional and contemporary rail systems.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Pine |
| Profile | Square |
| Nominal Size | 32mm x 32mm |
| Length | 900mm |
| Finish | Planed smooth |
What it's used for
- Staircase balustrades - filling the gap between handrail and base rail on indoor staircases
- Landing and mezzanine balustrades - providing the required guarding infill at height changes
- Decking infill panels - used vertically between posts and rails on raised decking structures
- Feature partition screens - spaced evenly to create open-style internal dividers in hallways or living spaces
Fitting and handling
Allow pine spindles to acclimatise indoors for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly in centrally heated properties where movement is more pronounced. Fix into routed slots in the base rail and handrail, or secure with angled lost-head nails or screws for a tidy finish. Apply a suitable primer and paint or an interior wood stain promptly after fitting to protect the timber and lock in dimensions.
FAQ
What is the actual finished size of this spindle?
The spindle is planed to a smooth finish at 32mm x 32mm with a length of 900mm. This is the finished size, so no further planing is required before fitting.
How many spindles do I need per metre of balustrade?
Building Regulations in England and Wales generally require gaps between spindles to be no more than 99mm (so a 100mm sphere cannot pass through). At 32mm wide with a 99mm gap, you will need approximately seven spindles per metre of balustrade, though you should calculate precisely based on your post spacings and any local requirements.
Can these pine spindles be used outdoors on a deck?
Pine in its untreated state is not suitable for prolonged exterior exposure. For decking balustrades, you should apply a good-quality exterior wood preservative and maintain the coating regularly, or consider a pressure-treated alternative if the spindles will be exposed to weather consistently.
