Round handrail in solid glulam beech Ø42 mm, cylindrical profile with continuous and consistent grip. Hard and stable wood (~720 kg/m³), suited to staircases subject to regular daily use. Available in 3 lengths: 200 cm, 250 cm, 295 cm. Supplied raw, to be varnished, oiled or sealed before use. Interior use only. Brackets for round profile Ø42 mm and fixings to be ordered separately. Pre-drilling recommended before screwing into beech to avoid splitting.

Round beech handrail Ø42 mm — glulam, interior use

This round handrail in solid glulam beech features a cylindrical profile of 42 mm in diameter, providing a continuous and consistent grip along the entire length. Beech is a hard deciduous wood (density ~720 kg/m³), significantly more resistant to abrasion than softwoods such as fir or pine. It is suitable for staircases subject to regular daily use.

The glulam construction provides superior dimensional stability compared to raw solid wood: the boards are glued in alternating directions, which limits movement caused by ambient humidity variations. On a handrail subject to temperature and humidity fluctuations throughout the seasons, this stability results in a reduced risk of warping or cracking. For interior use only.

Three lengths are available: 200, 250 and 300 cm. The profile is supplied raw and must be treated before use. Fixing brackets are to be ordered separately — they must be suited to a round profile of Ø42 mm (collars or clips, different from grooved brackets).

Main characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Material	Solid glulam beech
Diameter	Ø 42 mm
Available lengths	200 cm, 250 cm, 295 cm
Density	~720 kg/m³ — hardwood, resistant to abrasion
Brackets and fixings	Not included — brackets for round profile Ø42 mm to be ordered separately
Use	Interior use only
Finish	Raw unfinished wood — floor sealer, varnish or oil to be applied before use

Key points

✓ Hardwood (~720 kg/m³): abrasion and impact resistance superior to softwoods — staircases for regular daily use
✓ Round profile Ø42 mm: continuous cylindrical grip, smooth sliding of the hand along the entire length
✓ Glulam: better dimensional stability than raw solid wood, less sensitive to ambient humidity variations
✓ Raw unfinished wood: can be varnished, oiled or sealed according to the desired finish
✓ 3 available lengths: 200, 250 and 300 cm for standard straight staircases

Installation advice

Select brackets suited to a round profile of Ø42 mm — collars or retaining clips, different from grooved brackets used for moulded profiles. Position the brackets at regular intervals, with a maximum spacing of 80 cm between two support points. For 200 cm, 3 brackets are sufficient; for 300 cm, plan for 4.

Install the handrail at a height of between 80 and 100 cm from the nosing or finished floor. As beech is a hardwood, always carry out systematic pre-drilling before screwing to avoid splitting. Apply the finish preferably before fitting, while the piece is still accessible on all faces.

Maintenance and protection

Raw beech must be treated before use. Recommended finishes according to use:

Staircase floor sealer: 2 to 3 coats, hard film, maximum resistance to friction, durability 5 to 7 years
Polyurethane varnish: good resistance, gloss or satin finish, durability 4 to 6 years
Interior oil-wax: natural matt finish, renewal every 1 to 2 years

For routine maintenance, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid any abrasive or acidic products. On a varnished or sealed surface, a light fine sanding followed by a fresh coat is enough to refresh the protection after several years of use.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose beech rather than fir for a round handrail?

Beech (density ~720 kg/m³) is significantly more resistant to abrasion than fir (~450 kg/m³). On a handrail used several times a day, beech marks much less easily over time. It is also more dimensionally stable in glulam form. Fir remains suitable for infrequently used staircases or budget-conscious projects.

Which brackets should I buy for a round Ø42 mm handrail?

Brackets for round profiles come in the form of collars or clips that grip the wooden cylinder — they differ from grooved brackets used for moulded handrails. Woodup offers brackets for round handrails suited to this diameter, available separately in the accessories section.

What is the lifespan of a glulam beech handrail?

Indoors with a correctly applied and renewed floor sealer or varnish finish, a glulam beech handrail can last 20 years and more. The lifespan depends primarily on frequency of use, the quality of the initial finish and the renewal of surface maintenance.

Is pre-drilling necessary before screwing into beech?

Yes, absolutely. Beech is a hardwood — screwing without pre-drilling risks splitting the wood or deforming the screw. Use a drill bit with a diameter slightly smaller than the screw (e.g. 3.5 mm bit for a 4 mm screw). This precaution is particularly important within 5 cm of the ends.

Can this handrail be used outdoors?

No. Glulam beech is designed for indoor use only. Outdoors, moisture cycles and weathering rapidly degrade the laminating adhesives, which are not designed for such conditions. For an outdoor handrail, opt for a suitable species such as douglas fir or an exotic hardwood.

What is the difference between a round profile and a moulded profile for a handrail?

The round profile offers continuous, snag-free sliding of the hand along the entire length, often appreciated on steep staircases. The moulded profile features chamfers that provide a slightly firmer lateral grip. The choice depends primarily on personal preference and the desired aesthetic.
