Laminated Beech Balustrade Kit 1m + 2 Posts – Freestanding Indoor Kit

This balustrade kit in laminated beech covers 1 metre of span for a finished height of 1 metre. Its distinguishing feature compared to the 1m + 1 post kit Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post: it comes with two posts, making it completely freestanding — no wall support or existing stringer is required. It installs on its own, in the middle of a landing, at the edge of an open mezzanine or at the end of an indoor terrace.

Laminated beech offers a smooth surface with a fine grain and a natural pinkish-white hue, easy to personalise with paint, stain or oil-wax. Its cross-laminated construction limits deformation caused by indoor humidity variations. All kit components are pre-measured and ready to assemble, with post brackets included. Only the floor fixing hardware needs to be sourced separately depending on the type of substrate.

Installation tips

Layout: This kit rests on two posts, both of which must be fixed to the floor. Mark the axis of the balustrade on the floor and mark the position of both posts with a pencil. Check that the spacing matches the usable length of the bottom rail before drilling. A marking error at this stage is difficult to correct once the holes have been drilled.

Assembly: Assemble the balustrade flat before raising it upright. Lay the bottom rail, insert the spindles checking the spacing (≤ 11 cm), then fix the handrail. Slide on the post brackets and plug the assembly. Stand the assembled balustrade upright, level with a spirit level, and fix the brackets to the floor with hardware suited to your substrate.

Connection to an adjacent kit: If you are combining this kit with a 2m kit, connect the handrails end to end using metal brackets or long bolts passing through both sections. Lightly sand the junction joint to remove the visible step.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a protective finish before first use. Raw laminated beech stains easily on contact with hands in high-traffic areas. A stair varnish applied in 2–3 coats offers maximum durability for a frequently used mezzanine. Oil-wax is suitable for less demanding spaces and should be renewed every 1 to 2 years. Regular cleaning with soapy water, avoiding abrasives and chlorine-based products. Check the tightening of floor fixing screws once a year.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 1m + 1 post kit Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post and this 1m + 2 posts kit?

The Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post includes a single post: the other end of the balustrade must rest against an existing wall or stringer. This Beech balustrade kit 1m + 2 posts is freestanding with its two posts: it installs freely in the middle of a landing, without any lateral support. If you have a wall on one side, choose the Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post. In a free-standing position without support, choose this kit.

Can this 1m kit be used alone to secure a 1m mezzanine?

Yes, this kit is freestanding and complete for a 1 metre opening. It is perfectly suited for small mezzanines, short stairwell openings or narrow passageways. For spans exceeding 1m, combine it with a 2m kit (Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts or 900) by connecting the handrails end to end.

How many spindles does this 1m kit contain, and what is the spacing?

The exact number of spindles depends on the usable length and complies with the regulatory maximum spacing of 11 cm between balusters. Over 1 metre of span, allow for approximately 6 to 7 spindles with a 65x20 mm section. The spacing is calculated at the factory to be compliant straight out of the box, with no adjustment required on your part.

Can the beech be left raw without treatment?

Not recommended. Untreated raw beech used indoors absorbs dirt from hands, reacts to humidity variations and stains easily. Even a single coat of oil-wax is enough to stabilise it and make daily maintenance easier. Without a finish, the wood gradually darkens at contact areas and loses its characteristic light appearance.
