Installation advice

Before ordering, measure the length of your span and the location of the fixing points (floor and, if applicable, wall) accurately. This balustrade is delivered pre-cut to the dimensions ordered - any measurement error will require a new manufacturing run. Also check the height of your space: the standard height of 1 metre complies with requirements for landings, but a mezzanine with children may require a greater height depending on the configuration.

Installation follows the standard sequence: fix the posts to the floor using the supplied fixings, then fit the metal rails into their brackets, and finally fix the handrail. The floor fixing hardware is suitable for timber - on concrete, additional expansion anchors not included will be required.

Maintenance and protection

The bare wood posts and handrail require a protective finish before use. Apply varnish or oil-wax depending on the desired look. The metal rails require no particular maintenance - an annual clean with soapy water is sufficient. Check the tightness of the screwed joints once a year.

WoodUp tip

Important before purchasing: this balustrade is custom-made to your dimensions — any measurement error will require a new manufacturing run. Measure the exact length of your span and the centre-to-centre distance of the floor fixing points before placing your order. The standard height is 1 metre: if your mezzanine is less than 1 metre above the finished floor, a greater height may be required depending on your configuration. The manufacturing lead time is approximately 8 weeks. Fixings and instructions are included.

Frequently asked questions

How do I order this custom balustrade?

Use the WoodUp online configurator: enter your exact length, choose the wood species for the posts and handrail, and confirm your order. The balustrade is then manufactured to your dimensions and dispatched to your home. This balustrade is made to order to your measurements and dispatched to your home. Manufacturing lead time: 8 to 10 weeks.

Is this wood-metal balustrade suitable for a mezzanine with children?

The 2-horizontal-rail model has gaps between rails exceeding 11 cm - which is not suitable in the presence of young children who could put their head through or get trapped. For a mezzanine with children, opt for a model with vertical infill (spindles, custom wooden spindle balustrade) whose spacing complies with the standard. Consult WoodUp for a suitable configuration.

Can a painted finish be achieved on the wooden posts?

Yes. The bare wood posts can be painted, oiled or varnished to suit your décor. For a white paint finish on beech posts, apply a primer coat followed by two coats of satin acrylic paint. Oak and fir also accept paint, but beech gives the best results for light finishes thanks to its fine, uniform grain.

What is the difference between this model and the custom wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails (Wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails)?

This custom wood-metal rail balustrade has its metal rails arranged horizontally - a very contemporary, open look with an industrial or minimalist style. The wood balustrade with vertical aluminium rails has its aluminium rails arranged vertically - a more traditional, visually enclosed look, suitable for families with children. Both are custom-made with wooden posts; the choice is purely aesthetic and a matter of safety depending on your use.

Is the floor fixing hardware included in the kit?

The assembly fixings and instructions are included. The floor fixing hardware for concrete substrates (expansion anchors) is not provided - it depends on the nature of your slab. For a timber floor, the included fixings are generally sufficient. Contact WoodUp before ordering to specify your substrate type.
