Straight solid wood balustrade slat h 95cm section 95x18mm - 4 species

This straight solid wood slat is designed to form the vertical infill of a wood balustrade or handrail. With a height of 95 cm and a section of 95x18 mm, it offers a more "panel" appearance than the classic 50mm spindle — each slat is noticeably wider, which reduces the number of elements required and gives a more contemporary look. It is available in four species: douglas, fir, pine or beech.

The 95x18 mm section fits into the 18x15 mm grooved bottom rails of the WoodUp range. The regulatory spacing between slats must not exceed 11 cm in accordance with standard NF P01-012 for landing balustrades. Over a 2-metre length, allow approximately 9 to 10 slats of 95 mm with 11 cm spacing. All species are supplied raw and untreated.

✓ Spacing ≤ 11 cm - balustrade standards met in standard configuration
✓ 4 species - economical fir, douglas for outdoor use, fine-grained beech for indoor use
✓ Section 95x18mm - compatible with WoodUp range 18mm grooved bottom rails
✓ Sold individually - for a complete assembly or replacement

Installation advice

Slat calculation: To calculate the number of slats required for your span, apply the formula: total length ÷ (slat width + maximum spacing) i.e. 95 + 110 = 205mm per slat. Over 2 metres: 2000 ÷ 205 → 9 slats. Check the actual spacing before fixing: (2000 - 9x95) ÷ 10 gaps = 114.5mm — slightly above 11 cm. Adjust to 10 slats to remain compliant: (2000 - 10x95) ÷ 11 = 104mm. Compliant rounded figure.

Installation: Insert the slats into the groove of the bottom rail. Distribute the spacing evenly along the entire length before securing the handrail. For configurations without a groove, fix using lateral screwing or concealed brackets. Pre-drill at Ø3mm before screwing to avoid splitting the wood across the width.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a finish before installation to cover all faces easily. For indoor use, apply a varnish or oil-wax. For outdoor use, douglas only, with a saturating oil to be renewed every 2 years. Avoid fir, pine and beech in outdoor areas exposed to the elements without regular reinforced treatment.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: the 95x18mm straight slat gives a more "panel" appearance than the classic spindle — fewer elements to install, but a more solid look. The maximum spacing of 11cm between slats is mandatory (NF P01-012). Over 2 metres, allow 9 to 10 slats depending on the chosen spacing. Apply the finish before insertion — the rear face and the lower ends inside the groove will be inaccessible once in place. Douglas can be used outdoors in a sheltered position with a suitable finish.

Frequently asked questions

How many 95mm slats are needed for 2 metres of balustrade with 11cm spacing?

With a spacing of 110mm and a width of 95mm, each slat + gap equals 205mm. Over 2000mm: 2000 ÷ 205 ≈ 9.7 → rounded up to 10 slats for an actual spacing of 104mm (compliant ≤ 11 cm). Always verify the calculation for your actual length — end rails and post thicknesses may slightly alter the usable length.

What is the difference between the straight slat (Straight balustrade slat 95cm) and the straight spindle?

The straight slat is 95mm wide, the spindle 50mm. The visual result is different: the slat gives the balustrade more of a "cladding" look, with larger gaps between wide elements; the spindle gives the classic bar appearance. Same height (95cm), same thickness (18mm), same available species, same groove compatibility. The choice is purely aesthetic.

Can straight slats and spindles be mixed in the same balustrade?

Technically yes, provided both fit into the same groove (18mm depth) and the total spacing between each element remains ≤ 11 cm. In practice, mixing sections creates an irregular appearance. For a deliberate decorative effect (rhythm, alternation), it is entirely achievable — simply verify that the spacing is compliant at every point.

Can the straight slats be cut down if the 95cm height is too tall?

Yes. All four species can be easily cut with a saw. If you reduce the height, keep the machined face (smooth face) at the top and cut from the bottom. Sand the cut edge with 120-grit sandpaper before applying the finish. If you reduce by more than 5 cm, check that the slat still fits correctly into the groove of the bottom rail (minimum 15mm depth required).

What treatment should be applied to a straight douglas slat for outdoor use?

As douglas is supplied raw and untreated, apply an exterior oil or wood saturator to all faces before installation, including the edges. Reapply every 1 to 2 years depending on exposure. Douglas will naturally turn grey without treatment — its mechanical properties are not affected, but the surface progressively deteriorates in damp areas. For tinted wood species (beech, pine, fir), a microporous stain provides effective protection.
