Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Timber |
| Finish | White primed |
| Nominal Size | 90mm x 90mm x 1500mm |
| Profile | Square |
| Use Class | Internal |
What it's used for
- Structural anchor post at the base, top, and turn points of internal staircases
- Landing newel for balustrade runs and mezzanine level transitions
- Support post for handrails and baserails in traditional painted staircase schemes
- Refurbishment and replacement of worn or damaged existing newel posts
Fitting and handling
Before fitting, allow the post to acclimatise inside the property for at least 48 hours to reduce movement after installation. Newel posts are typically bolted through the string or secured with a newel bolt from below, ensuring a rigid connection before baserails and handrails are fixed. Once fitted, apply a compatible water-based or oil-based topcoat over the white primed surface for a durable, clean finish.
FAQ
Can I paint directly over the white primed finish?
Yes. The white primer acts as a base coat, so you can apply your chosen topcoat straight onto the surface without additional preparation, provided the post is clean and dry before painting.
Is 1500mm long enough for a standard staircase newel?
For most domestic staircases a 1500mm newel post gives sufficient length to run through the floor structure and still reach the required balustrade height. If your staircase has a deeper string or thicker floor, measure carefully before ordering and contact Nottage Timber Merchants if you need advice on sizing.
