Glulam Beech Balustrade Kit 1m + 1 Post – Indoor DIY Balustrade

This glulam beech balustrade kit covers a span of 1 metre for a finished height of 1 metre, compliant with standard NF P01-012 for indoor landing balustrades. It is supplied with a single post, making it suitable for configurations where one end is anchored to a wall, a stair stringer or an existing balustrade. It is the common solution for mezzanine corners, staircase starts or small 1-metre landings.

Glulam beech has a homogeneous surface and a characteristically fine grain, easy to paint, oil or varnish. Its cross-laminated construction gives it better dimensional stability than solid beech, which limits shrinkage in indoor conditions. The kit is supplied raw, untreated: apply a protective finish before use to protect the wood from contact and ambient humidity.

The contents include all infill and structural elements, with the exception of the floor fixing hardware – not supplied as it depends on the substrate material (concrete, wood, tiles). Post brackets are included in the kit.

✓ Near-complete kit - floor brackets included, only floor fixings need to be sourced separately
✓ Spindle spacing ≤ 11 cm - balustrade standard met, suitable where children are present
✓ 1 post only - ideal when the other end rests against a wall or an existing stringer
✓ Extendable - pairs with the 2m kits in the WoodUp beech range

Installation advice

Preparation: Check that the installation surface is dry, flat and structurally sound. The post supplied with this kit is 107 cm tall with a 70x70 mm section – allow sufficient clearance at the base of the post for the fixing bracket. You will need a drill, a spirit level and a screwdriver.

Assembly: Assemble the balustrade flat before raising it vertically. Start by fitting the bottom rail, insert the spindles, then fix the handrail. Check that the spacing between spindles does not exceed 11 cm along the entire length. Then fix the post using the included bracket, checking verticality with a spirit level before final tightening.

Floor fixing: Choose the fixings according to the substrate. On concrete: expansion anchors Ø8 mm minimum. On a timber floor: long wood screws Ø5 mm (≥ 60 mm). On tiles: drill with a specialist ceramic bit then use a nylon anchor. Floor fixing hardware is not supplied – plan this purchase before installation day.

Finish: Apply a protective finish after assembly: varnish (2–3 coats) for high-traffic areas, oil-wax for a natural matt look. Raw glulam beech also takes white paint or tinted stain very well.

Maintenance and protection

Glulam beech used indoors in dry conditions is a stable, low-maintenance wood once protected. Without a finish, it stains and reacts to ambient humidity. After applying a varnish or an oil-wax, a clean with soapy water twice a year is sufficient. Apply a light coat of varnish every 5 to 7 years depending on traffic intensity. Check fixing tightness once a year. Never expose this product outdoors or to repeated condensation – glulam delaminates under prolonged moisture.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: this 1m + 1 post kit covers a span of exactly 1 metre. For return-angle staircases or mezzanines with a different span, check the precise measurement before ordering. Glulam beech reacts to humidity variations — avoid installation in unheated rooms without a protective finish. Apply oil, varnish or lacquer before final assembly to protect all faces, including the assembly grooves that are inaccessible once the kit is fitted.

Frequently asked questions

Is this 1m + 1 post kit compatible with the WoodUp beech 2m kit?

Yes. The handrail sections (50x50 mm) and bottom rail sections (50x35 mm) are identical throughout the WoodUp beech range. The two kits are joined end to end with wooden dowels or metal brackets. The join is invisible when the pieces come from the same range. For a 3 m span, combine this 1m kit with a 2m + 1 post kit (Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts or 900).

Why does the kit include only one post?

This model is designed for configurations where one end of the balustrade rests against a wall, a stair stringer or an existing post. If you need two posts – for a free span with no lateral support – choose the 1m + 2 posts kit Beech balustrade kit 1m + 2 posts, which includes both posts and their brackets.

What fixings are needed for fitting on a concrete floor?

Use expansion anchors Ø8 mm with M6 or M8 stainless steel screws. For standard-quality concrete (C20/25), 4 fixing points per bracket are sufficient. On hollow concrete or lightweight slabs, opt for chemical anchors for better pull-out resistance. Stainless steel fixings prevent rust marks on light-coloured floors.

Can glulam beech be painted white?

Yes, it is in fact one of the most popular finishes for this species. Sand lightly with 150-grit paper, apply a bonding primer, then two coats of satin or matt acrylic paint. The fine grain of beech gives a clean, even result. For a durable white finish in high-traffic areas, opt for an alkyd paint or a polyurethane lacquer.

Does this beech balustrade comply with standards for a mezzanine?

Yes. The height of 1 metre complies with French regulations for landing balustrades (NF P01-012 article 4). The spacing between spindles complies with the limit of 11 cm maximum. For a mezzanine with children, also check that there is no foothold enabling climbing (bottom rail at step height).
