Moulded beech handrail 50x50 mm — laminated, indoor use
This handrail in solid laminated beech features a moulded section of 50x50 mm and a 21x5 mm groove for fixing to standard wall brackets. Beech is a hard deciduous wood (density ~720 kg/m³), significantly more resistant to abrasion than fir or pine. It is suitable for staircases in regular daily use.
Laminated wood offers better dimensional stability than raw sawn solid wood: the laminations are glued in opposite directions, which limits wood movement caused by ambient humidity variations. This stability is particularly valuable for a handrail, which is subject to temperature and humidity changes throughout the seasons. Use restricted to indoor use only — untreated laminated beech warps quickly outdoors.
Three lengths are available: 200, 250 and 300 cm. The profile is supplied raw, to be treated before use. A surface finish is essential to protect the wood and facilitate daily maintenance. Wall brackets and fixings are to be sourced separately, compatible with the 21x5 mm groove.

- ✓ Moulded 50x50 mm profile: balanced grip, suited to traditional and contemporary interiors
- ✓ Customisable finish: raw wood receptive to varnish, oil and lacquer
Installation advice
Select brackets compatible with the 21x5 mm groove before purchasing. Position the brackets at regular intervals, with a maximum spacing of 80 cm between two support points. Install the handrail at a height of between 80 and 100 cm from the nosing or finished floor level.
Beech is a hardwood that requires systematic pre-drilling before screwing to prevent splitting. Use a drill bit with a diameter slightly smaller than the screw. Tighten without applying excessive torque: hardwood holds screws well without needing high torque. Apply the finish preferably before installation, while the piece is still accessible on all its faces.
Maintenance and protection
The raw laminated beech supplied must be treated before any use. Recommended finish according to use:
- Staircase lacquer: 2 to 3 coats, maximum resistance to intensive friction, durability 5 to 7 years
- Polyurethane varnish: good resistance, gloss or satin finish, durability 4 to 6 years
- Interior wood oil-wax: natural matt finish, maintenance every 1 to 2 years
For routine maintenance, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid any abrasive or acidic household products. On a varnished or lacquered finish, light fine sanding followed by a fresh coat will refresh the surface after several years of intensive use.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose beech rather than fir for a staircase handrail?
Beech (density ~720 kg/m³) is significantly more resistant to daily abrasion than fir (~450 kg/m³). For a staircase used several times a day, beech marks far less easily. It is also more dimensionally stable in laminated form. In return, it is heavier and requires pre-drilling before screwing. Fir remains appropriate for lightly used staircases or budget-conscious projects.
What is laminated beech and what are its advantages?
Laminated wood is made by gluing beech laminations in alternating directions. This construction limits wood movement caused by ambient temperature and humidity variations, a common phenomenon with raw sawn solid wood. The result is a more stable piece over time, less prone to cracking or warping — a valuable quality for a permanently installed handrail.
Which brackets are compatible with this handrail?
Brackets must be designed for a groove 21 mm wide and 5 mm deep. Woodup offers brackets in black lacquered steel and bichrome finish compatible with this format, available separately. Allow one bracket every 60 to 80 cm for secure fixing.
What finish should be applied to a raw beech handrail?
For a staircase in daily use, lacquer is the most suitable finish: it forms a hard film on the surface that resists repeated friction well. Apply 2 to 3 coats, sanding lightly between each pass (180-grit). Oil-wax gives a more natural finish but requires more frequent renewal (every 1 to 2 years). Avoid opaque paints on beech, whose naturally light grain deserves to remain visible.
Can this handrail be cut to an intermediate length?
Yes, but as beech is a hardwood, use a circular saw blade with a fine tooth count (at least 40 teeth). Pre-mark the cut with a square to ensure a right angle. After cutting, sand the cut end with 120-grit paper before applying the finish to the cut — bare wood absorbs ambient moisture quickly if left unprotected.
Is this handrail suitable for professional or ERP use?
This handrail is dimensioned for residential use. For a public-access building (ERP), specific regulatory requirements apply (height, continuity, mechanical strength). It is recommended to consult a structural engineer or architect before installation in a professional or public-access context.
