Glued Laminated Beech Balustrade Kit 1m + 1 Post – Indoor Balustrade for Self-Assembly

This balustrade kit in glued laminated beech 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 standard solution for mezzanine corners, stair starts or small 1-metre landings.

Glued laminated beech has a uniform surface and characteristic 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 delivered raw, untreated: apply a protective finish before use to protect the wood from contact and ambient moisture.

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, timber, tiles). Post brackets are included in the kit.

Key points

✓ Regulatory height 1m — compliant with NF P01-012 for indoor landings and mezzanines
✓ Glued laminated beech — superior dimensional stability compared to solid timber, uniform fine-grain surface
✓ Near-complete kit — floor brackets included, only floor fixings need to be sourced separately
✓ Baluster 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 — compatible with 2m kits from the WoodUp beech range

Installation advice

Preparation: Check that the installation surface is dry, level and structurally sound. The post supplied with this kit measures 107 cm in height with a section of 70x70 mm — 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 standing it upright. First lay the bottom rail, insert the balusters, then fix the handrail. Check that the spacing between balusters does not exceed 11 cm along the full length. Then fix the post using the included bracket, checking the vertical alignment with a spirit level before final tightening.

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

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

Maintenance and protection

Glued laminated beech used in dry indoor conditions is a stable and low-maintenance wood once protected. Without a finish, it stains and reacts to ambient moisture. After applying a varnish or an oil-wax, cleaning with soapy water twice a year is sufficient. Apply a light coat of varnish every 5 to 7 years depending on traffic intensity. Check the tightness of fixings once a year. Never expose this product outdoors or to repeated condensation — glued laminated timber delaminates under prolonged moisture.

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 join end to end using wooden dowels or metal brackets. The joint 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 a concrete floor?

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

Can glued laminated beech be painted white?

Yes, it is actually one of the most requested finishes for this timber species. Sand lightly with 150 grit, apply a bonding primer, then two coats of satin or matt acrylic paint. The fine grain of beech gives a clean and uniform 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 balusters respects 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).
