Pack contents

Round handrail in solid glulam beech Ø42 mm, cylindrical profile with continuous and consistent grip. Hard and stable wood (~720 kg/m³), suitable for staircases subject to heavy daily use. Available in 3 lengths: 195 cm, 250 cm, 295 cm. Supplied raw, to be varnished, oiled or lacquered before use. Indoor use only. Round Ø42 mm profile brackets and fixings to be ordered separately. Pre-drilling recommended before screwing into beech to avoid splitting.

Round beech handrail Ø42 mm glulam, indoor use

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

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

Three lengths are available: 195, 250 and 295 cm. The profile is supplied raw and must be treated before use. Fixing brackets are to be ordered separately — they must be suitable for a round Ø42 mm profile (collars or cradle brackets, different from grooved brackets).

Main characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Material	Solid glulam beech
Diameter	Ø 42 mm
Available lengths	195 cm, 250 cm, 295 cm
Density	~720 kg/m³ - hardwood, abrasion-resistant
Brackets and fixings	Not included — round profile Ø42 mm brackets to be ordered separately
Use	Indoor use only
Finish	Raw wood — varnish, oil or staircase finish to be applied before use

Key points

? Hardwood (~720 kg/m³): superior abrasion and impact resistance compared to softwoods — staircases with regular daily use
? Round profile Ø42 mm: continuous cylindrical grip, smooth hand gliding along the entire length
? Glulam: better dimensional stability than solid raw timber, less sensitive to variations in ambient humidity
? Raw finishable wood: can be varnished, oiled or lacquered depending on the desired result
? 3 available lengths: 195, 250 and 300 cm for standard straight staircases

Installation advice

Select brackets suitable for a round profile of Ø42 mm — collars or cradle brackets, different from the 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, allow 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, carry out systematic pre-drilling before any screwing to avoid splitting. Apply the finish preferably before installation, while the piece is still accessible on all faces.

Maintenance and protection

Raw beech must be treated before use. Recommended finishes depending on the application:

Staircase varnish: 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 appearance, renewal every 1 to 2 years

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

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: the round Ø42 mm profile requires cradle brackets — not compatible with grooved brackets. Solid beech is sensitive to moisture: treat all faces before installation, paying particular attention to cut ends. Pre-drilling is mandatory before screwing. Wall fixings not included. Indoor use only.

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 far less easily over time. It is also more dimensionally stable in glulam form. Fir remains suitable for lightly used staircases or budget-conscious projects.

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

Brackets for a round profile come in the form of collars or cradle brackets that wrap around the wooden cylinder — they differ from the grooved brackets used for moulded handrails. Woodup offers round handrail brackets 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 varnish or lacquer finish, a glulam beech handrail can last 20 years or more. The lifespan depends primarily on frequency of use, the quality of the initial finish, and the regularity of surface maintenance.

Is it necessary to pre-drill before screwing into beech?

Yes, absolutely. Beech is a hardwood — screwing without pre-drilling risks splitting the wood or distorting the screw. Use a drill bit slightly smaller in diameter than the screw (e.g. a 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 a tropical hardwood.

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

The round profile offers continuous, snag-free hand gliding 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 usage preference and the desired aesthetic.

Frequently asked questions

Which handrails is this bracket compatible with?

This bracket is compatible with handrails of diameter 42 mm.

Is this bracket supplied with wall fixing screws?

No, the wall fixing screws are not included. They should be selected according to the wall material (concrete, brick, plaster) and the handrail material (wood, metal, aluminium) to ensure a suitable hold.

What is the recommended spacing between brackets?

The recommended spacing is 80 to 100 cm maximum between each bracket for optimal hold. At the start and end of the handrail, place a bracket within 30 cm of each end.

Is this bracket suitable for outdoor use?

Check the material of the bracket before outdoor installation. Stainless steel brackets are suitable for outdoor use. Galvanised metal brackets are suitable for sheltered outdoor use. Painted brackets are for indoor use only.

What is the difference between a fixed bracket and an adjustable bracket?

A fixed bracket is screwed directly into the wall at a predefined angle — simpler to fit. An adjustable bracket allows the inclination to be adjusted (generally over 2 cm) to compensate for a slight irregularity in the wall or staircase, making installation easier on non-standard configurations.
