Solid Fir Balustrade Kit 1m without Post - Interior DIY Module

This solid raw fir balustrade kit covers 1 metre of span with an assembled height of 1.02 m. With no post included, it is designed as an extension module or for configurations where the posts are already in place — mezzanine corner, staircase junction, small 1 m landing. It is fully compatible with the 2m + 1 post kit and the 2m kit without post from the WoodUp range.

The kit includes a 60x50 mm handrail, a 50x35 mm bottom rail, 6 x 50x20 mm balusters with integrated grooves, and the connecting dowels. The elements are pre-measured and machined for assembly without specialist tools. The wood is delivered raw and untreated: it is advisable to apply a finish (oil, varnish or woodstain) before or after assembly to protect the fir from ambient moisture and knocks.

Installation advice

This kit is fitted between two existing posts or between a post and a wall. The handrail and bottom rail bear against the posts or are fixed to them with dowels. Position the 6 balusters in the grooves of the bottom rail and handrail before final fixing. Maintain a maximum spacing of 11 cm between balusters.

To assemble a complete run over a 3 m span, combine this 1m kit with a 2m kit + 1 post, for example. The sections are dowelled end to end for visual continuity with no visible joint. Use a spirit level to ensure the handrail is horizontal.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a protective finish before or after assembly: 2 to 3 coats of floor varnish for maximum scratch resistance, or an oil-wax to be renewed every 2 years for a natural look. Raw untreated fir picks up dirt and marks quickly in high-traffic areas. Routine cleaning with soapy water is sufficient once the finish has been applied. Estimated lifespan: 15 years and more indoors in dry conditions with a suitable finish.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: this kit has no post — it is designed for configurations where the ends rest against a wall or an existing post, or to extend an existing kit. If your span requires an intermediate or end post, order it separately (ID 88 in fir). The assembled height of 1.02 m complies with NF P01-012 for interior landings. Apply the finish before assembly to protect the grooves and the baluster housing faces, which will be inaccessible once the kit is installed.

Frequently asked questions

How many posts are needed for a 1m balustrade kit?

This kit does not include a post. It is fitted between two posts already in place, or between a post and a wall. If you are starting from scratch on a 1 m span, order a straight fir post 60x60mm H 1.2m for the free end. The other end can be anchored to an existing post, a wall or a stair stringer.

Is this 1m kit compatible with the 2m fir kit?

Yes, the handrail and bottom rail sections are identical (60x50 mm and 50x35 mm). They are joined end to end with wooden dowels or metal brackets. Visual continuity is assured if the pieces come from the same batch (natural colour variation possible between batches).

Can the fir be painted white for a contemporary finish?

Yes. Raw fir takes interior wood paint well after light sanding with 150-grit paper. Apply a bonding primer, then 2 coats of satin or matt paint. For a lasting white finish, choose a shock-resistant alkyd or acrylic paint. The result is clean and even on fine-grained fir.

What is the maximum spacing between balusters to comply with standards?

The NF P01-012 standard for landing balustrades requires a maximum spacing of 11 cm between vertical balusters. This kit with 6 balusters per 1 m meets this requirement. If you cut the handrail for a shorter span, recalculate the number of balusters needed to maintain this spacing.
