Glued-Laminated Beech Balustrade Kit 2m + 2 Posts - Interior Balustrade Height 1m

This balustrade kit in glued-laminated beech covers a span of 2 metres for a total height of 1 metre, compliant with the standards for interior landing balustrades (NF P01-012). Glued-laminated beech differs from solid beech by its superior dimensional stability: the wood lamellae are assembled in cross layers, which reduces shrinkage and warping under interior conditions.

The kit is complete for direct installation: 2 posts 70x70mm with their floor fixing brackets included, a 50x50mm handrail, a bottom rail, 10 balusters 65x20mm and the assembly fixings. Only the floor fixing screws are not supplied, as they depend on the substrate material (timber, concrete, tiling). The beech is delivered raw and untreated: a protective finish must be applied before use to protect the wood from contact and ambient moisture.

This product is designed exclusively for indoor use. Glued-laminated beech is sensitive to moisture and deteriorates rapidly when exposed outdoors without protection.

Installation advice

Preparation: Check that the substrate is dry, flat and stable. For fitting on concrete, use expansion anchors suited to the weight of the balustrade. On a timber floor, long wood screws (≥ 60 mm) are sufficient.

Assembly: Assemble the balustrade flat before putting it in place. Follow the order: bottom rail → balusters → handrail → posts. The pre-drilled holes are machined to facilitate alignment. Check the perpendicularity of the posts with a level before tightening.

Floor fixing: Fix the post brackets to the floor using fixings appropriate for your substrate. A progressive tightening torque prevents cracking the brackets. Floor fixing screws are not supplied - allow for stainless steel screws or anchors depending on the material.

Finish: Apply a protective finish (floor varnish or oil-wax) before use. Glued-laminated beech takes paint and varnish very well. Avoid solvent-based products in confined spaces.

Maintenance and protection

Glued-laminated beech used indoors in dry conditions is a durable wood provided it is protected. Without a finish, it is susceptible to staining and ambient moisture. Once varnished or oiled, cleaning with soapy water twice a year is sufficient. For a floor varnish, apply a light additional coat every 5 to 7 years depending on footfall intensity. Avoid any exposure to moisture or prolonged condensation.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: glued-laminated beech is more stable than solid beech but more sensitive to humidity variations in poorly heated interiors. A finish (stair varnish, oil-wax or varnish) must be applied before assembly — the grooves and joints will be inaccessible once the kit is installed. This kit is supplied with 2 posts: check that your span is exactly 2 usable metres before ordering. For a different span, use the custom balustrade configurator.

Frequently asked questions

Can this beech balustrade be used outdoors with treatment?

No. Even with treatment, glued-laminated beech is not suitable for permanent outdoor exposure. Glued-laminated timber comes apart with prolonged moisture. For outdoor use, choose species classified 3b or 4 (douglas fir, larch, black locust) or opt for WoodUp's Quadrum or Ellipsis aluminium ranges.

What fixings should be chosen to secure the brackets to a concrete floor?

On concrete, use Ø8 mm expansion anchors as a minimum, or chemical anchors for thick substrates. Choose stainless steel fixings to prevent rust. For a timber floor, long wood screws (≥ 60 mm) Ø5 mm are sufficient.

Can this kit be extended to cover a span greater than 2m?

Yes. Pair it with the 1m + 1 post kit or with other 2m kits. Posts should be spaced a maximum of 1.5 m apart. For a 3m span, combine a 2m kit + 2 posts with a 1m kit + 1 post. Visual continuity is assured if the pieces come from the same WoodUp beech range.

What finish should be used on the beech of a mezzanine balustrade?

For a heavily used mezzanine, stair varnish applied in 2-3 coats is the most durable solution (resistance to impact and abrasion). For a warm natural look, oil-wax is ideal but requires renewal every 2 years. Beech also takes white paint or tinted woodstain very well to harmonise with the décor.
