Solid Fir Balustrade Kit 2m + 1 Post – Indoor Handrail for Self-Assembly

This solid raw fir balustrade kit covers a span of 2 metres and stands at a height of 1.02 m, in accordance with French standards for indoor landing balustrades. It is designed to secure mezzanines, landings or indoor passageways, and can be assembled without special machinery.

The kit includes all the load-bearing elements: a moulded handrail 60x50mm, a bottom rail 50x35mm, 12 spindles 50x20mm, wooden joining dowels and 1 post 60x60mm height 1.2m. The parts are pre-measured and machined: the grooves are integrated to position the spindles without a jig. Assembly is carried out by fixing the bottom rail to the substrate, inserting the spindles into the grooves, then placing the handrail on the posts. The fir is delivered raw and untreated: oiling, varnishing or staining before use will significantly extend the service life.

The floor fixing plates are not included as they depend on the substrate: wood, concrete or tiles each require different plates and fixings. The kit is designed exclusively for indoor use — fir, a naturally class 2 timber, does not withstand exposure to the elements without enhanced treatment and a change of category.

Installation advice

Preparation: Check the flatness and solidity of the substrate. The fir is delivered raw: apply a first coat of finish before assembly if you opt for a varnish or paint (easier access). You will need a drill, a spirit level and a screwdriver.

Installation: Start by fixing the bottom rail to the floor using brackets or plates suited to the substrate material. Position the spindles in the grooves of the bottom rail, maintaining a maximum spacing of 11 cm between spindles. Then fix the post or posts using plates (not included). Place the handrail on the posts and dowel the whole assembly together. Check the vertical alignment with a spirit level before final tightening.

Important: This kit covers a span of 2 m with 1 post. For longer spans, combine it with the 2m without post kit or the 1m without post kit (available separately). Allow for 1 post every 1.5 m maximum for the stability of the whole assembly.

Maintenance and protection

Solid fir is a softwood with a natural durability class of 2. In dry indoor use, it requires little maintenance, but a protective finish remains essential to limit marks and moisture absorption. Apply 2 to 3 coats of floor varnish, oil-wax or polyurethane varnish before or after assembly. Clean with slightly soapy water, without abrasive products. An annual check of the joints (tightening screws, condition of dowels) extends the service life beyond 15 years in dry indoor conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I fix the fir balustrade kit to a concrete floor?

On concrete, fix the post plates with expansion anchors or chemical anchors (not included). Choose stainless steel plates to avoid rust marks on the floor. Drill to a minimum diameter of 8 mm for Ø6 mm fixings. The plate must be fixed on at least 4 points to ensure the stability of the whole assembly.

Can the fir balustrade kit 2m be used outdoors?

No. Raw fir is not suitable for permanent outdoor exposure. For outdoor use, opt for parts in douglas fir or larch, available on Woodup. Douglas fir is naturally rated class 3b (sheltered outdoor timber) and is far more resistant to moisture.

How do I extend the balustrade beyond 2 metres?

Combine this kit with one or more 1m or 2m kits without post. Each extension fits seamlessly into the continuation of the handrail. Allow for 1 intermediate post every 1.5 m to maintain rigidity. Sections are joined by dowelling or metal brackets, to be ordered separately.

What finish should I choose for the fir on an indoor balustrade?

For maximum resistance to impact and scratches (staircase, active mezzanine): staircase floor varnish, 2–3 coats. For a matt and natural finish: oil-wax to be renewed every 2 years. For a coloured tint: interior wood stain or paint. Avoid outdoor products for indoor use, as they may emit solvents in enclosed spaces.

What is the regulation spacing between spindles?

French regulations require a maximum spacing of 11 cm between vertical balusters for an indoor landing balustrade. This kit complies with this standard with its 12 spindles over 2 metres. When young children are present, ensure that no object less than 11 cm wide can pass between the spindles.
