The Story
Redwood mopstick handrail in a 50mm x 50mm section, supplied in a standard 4.2m length for internal staircases, hallways, and walkways. Machined from slow-grown Scandinavian redwood to a rounded mopstick profile with a flat underside, ready to accept wall brackets and finish coatings.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Scandinavian redwood (Pinus sylvestris) |
| Grade | Joinery quality - ungraded lower grades removed |
| Finish | Unfinished (machined, ready to paint, stain, oil, or varnish) |
| Nominal Size | 50mm x 50mm |
| Profile | Mopstick with flat underside |
| Length | 4.2m (4200mm / 14ft) |
| Use | Internal joinery |
What it's used for
- Wall-mounted handrails on internal staircases in domestic properties
- Continuous grab rails along hallways, corridors, and internal walkways
- Replacement handrails on existing staircase assemblies where the profile needs to match a standard mopstick section
- New-build and renovation joinery where a smooth, graspable rail is required against a wall rather than over a balustrade
Fitting and handling
Store the rail flat and off the ground in a dry, ventilated space, and allow it to acclimatise inside the building for at least 48 hours before fixing - this reduces movement once in place. The flat section on the underside provides a centred, stable fixing point for standard wall brackets, which helps prevent splitting when driving fixings through the rail. Once fitted, apply your chosen finish - paint, hardwax oil, or varnish - to all faces including the ends to protect the timber from moisture and wear.
FAQ
What brackets are compatible with this mopstick handrail?
Standard 50mm mopstick wall brackets sold by most joinery and ironmongery suppliers are compatible. The flat underside of this profile is designed to seat correctly in these fittings, giving a secure, centred fix without rotation.
Can this redwood handrail be used outdoors?
This product is machined for internal joinery use. Redwood without treatment is not suitable for exposed external conditions. For an outdoor application, the timber would need thorough treatment with an exterior-grade preservative or finish, and even then a hardwood or treated softwood profile would be a more durable choice.
Does it come pre-finished or ready to paint?
The rail is supplied unfinished and machined clean. It can be painted, stained, oiled, or varnished to your specification. Light sanding with 120-grit paper before applying a primer or base coat will give a cleaner finish on the machined faces.
