Moulded fir handrail 56x45 mm with fixing brackets

This handrail in moulded solid fir is supplied with its fixing brackets, ready to mount on a wall. The 56x45 mm section provides a stable and comfortable grip, suitable for all types of users. The moulded profile gives a neat appearance without requiring a complex finish.

Fir is a lightweight wood, easy to work with and to paint or varnish. It is suitable exclusively for indoor use: staircases, corridors, mezzanines. Its moderate density (approximately 450 kg/m³) makes it easy to handle during installation, even single-handedly for shorter lengths.

The kit is available in 6 lengths from 150 to 420 cm. The number of brackets included varies according to the length chosen: 2 brackets for models up to 250 cm, 3 brackets for 300 and 360 cm, 4 brackets for 420 cm. Wall fixing screws must be sourced separately, depending on the type of substrate.

Installation advice

Begin by marking the bracket positions on the wall using a spirit level. For lengths up to 250 cm, space the 2 brackets approximately 20 cm from each end. For longer lengths, add the additional bracket(s) at regular intervals — maximum recommended spacing: 80 cm between two supports.

Fix the brackets with screws appropriate to the wall substrate (concrete anchor, plasterboard screw or wood screw as applicable). Screws are not supplied. Install the handrail at a height of between 80 and 100 cm measured from the step nosing, in accordance with standard practice for domestic staircases. Once the brackets are in place, clip the handrail in and tighten the retaining screws.

As fir is a softwood, avoid overtightening the retaining screws to prevent marking the surface. A moderate torque is sufficient to ensure a secure hold.

Maintenance and protection

Raw fir is supplied without any surface treatment. Before use, apply an appropriate interior finish: polyurethane varnish (2 to 3 coats, durability 5 to 7 years), oil-wax (matt appearance, renewal every 2 to 3 years) or interior wood paint. Without a finish applied, the wood is exposed to dirt and ambient moisture, which can lead to gradual greying.

For routine maintenance, wiping with a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or acidic cleaners. If the wood is varnished, a light fine sanding followed by a new coat of varnish will refresh the surface every 5 to 7 years depending on use.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: this handrail is sold with its brackets — check that the number of brackets included matches your span (1 bracket every 80–100 cm). Wall fixing screws are not supplied: choose them according to the wall material (concrete, brick, plaster). Raw fir must be treated before installation; apply oil, varnish or lacquer to all faces, including the cut ends. Indoor use only.

Frequently asked questions

What length of handrail should I choose for my staircase?

The length is calculated by measuring the horizontal distance between the bottom and top of the staircase, adding approximately 10 to 20 cm of overhang on each side if space allows. For a staircase with 12 steps and a tread depth of 25 cm, allow approximately 300 cm of developed length. This kit is available up to 420 cm, which covers the vast majority of straight domestic staircases.

Are the brackets compatible with all wall types?

The supplied brackets can be fixed to any wall substrate, provided the appropriate fixings are used: concrete or block anchors, plasterboard plugs and screws, or wood screws directly into a stud. Fixings are not included in the kit — use M5 or M6 screws depending on the hole diameter of the brackets and the wall type.

Can this fir handrail be painted or varnished?

Yes, raw fir is easy to finish. For paint, first apply a pore-filling primer, then 2 coats of satin interior wood paint. For varnish, lightly sand with 120-grit before the first coat. The wood absorbs finishing products well, which ensures a consistent result with few passes.

Is this handrail suitable for people with reduced mobility?

The 56x45 mm section provides a firm and stable grip, suitable for most users. For people with reduced mobility, install the handrail at 90 cm height from the nosing, and ensure it runs continuously along the full length of the staircase. The moulded profile eliminates sharp edges, improving the comfort of the hand as it slides along.

Why choose a fir handrail rather than beech or oak?

Fir is significantly lighter than beech or oak (approximately 450 kg/m³ compared to 720 to 750 kg/m³), which makes installation easier, particularly for longer lengths. It is also more affordable. On the other hand, it is a softwood that marks more easily and requires a protective finish. Beech or oak should be preferred for high-traffic staircases or where young children are present.

Can two lengths be joined together to exceed 420 cm?

There is no dedicated connector for this reference. A butt joint remains possible using a bracket positioned at the junction point, but the visual result will be noticeable. For lengths greater than 420 cm, it is preferable to contact Woodup to explore a bespoke solution.
