Solid Fir Balustrade Kit 2m + 1 Post – Interior Balustrade to Self-Assemble

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

The kit includes all the structural components: a moulded handrail 60x50mm, a bottom rail 50x35mm, 12 balusters 50x20mm, the wooden connecting dowels and 1 post 60x60mm height 1.2m. The pieces are pre-measured and machined: the rebates are integrated to position the balusters without a jig. Assembly is carried out by fixing the bottom rail to the substrate, inserting the balusters into the rebates, then fitting the handrail onto the posts. The fir is delivered raw and untreated: oiling, varnishing or staining before use significantly extends the service life.

Floor fixing plates are not supplied as they depend on the substrate: wood, concrete or tiles each require different plates and anchors. The kit is exclusively designed for indoor use – fir, a natural class 2 timber species, 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: Begin by fixing the bottom rail to the floor using brackets or plates suited to the substrate material. Position the balusters in the rebates of the bottom rail, observing a maximum spacing of 11 cm between balusters. 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 kit without post or the 1m kit without post (available separately). Allow 1 post every 1.5 m maximum to ensure the stability of the whole assembly.

Maintenance and protection

Solid fir is a softwood with natural durability class 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 lightly soapy water, without abrasive products. An annual check of the joints (tightening of screws, condition of dowels) extends the service life beyond 15 years in dry indoor conditions.

WoodUp Tip

Good to know before buying: this kit covers exactly 2 metres of span with one post included. If your span is slightly longer (2.05m for example), you will need to either trim the components or order an additional kit. The assembled height of 1.02m complies with standard NF P01-012 for interior landing balustrades. Apply the finish (oil, floor varnish or paint) before final assembly to protect all surfaces, including the grooves and recesses that are inaccessible once assembled. Floor fixing plates must be sourced separately.

Frequently asked questions

How do you 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 anchors. The plate must be fixed on at least 4 points to ensure the stability of the whole assembly.

Can the 2m fir balustrade kit be used outdoors?

No. Raw fir is not suitable for permanent exposure to the elements. For outdoor use, opt for spare parts in douglas fir or larch, available on Woodup. Douglas fir is naturally classified 3b (outdoor wood under cover) and is far more resistant to moisture.

How do you 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 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 you choose for the fir wood of an interior balustrade?

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

What is the regulatory spacing between balusters?

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