Glued Laminated Beech Balustrade Kit 2m + 1 Post – Interior Balustrade 1m Height
This balustrade kit in glued laminated beech covers a span of 2 metres (useful element length: 193 cm) for a finished height of 1 metre, compliant with interior landing balustrade standard NF P01-012. Supplied with a single post, it is designed for configurations where one end anchors to a wall or existing support — staircase start at the wall side, mezzanine corner, or connection to another module.
Glued laminated beech is chosen for its dimensional stability indoors and its homogeneous fine-grained surface — a wood species that lends itself equally to white paint, natural varnish or oil-wax. The kit includes 10 balusters section 65x20 mm, a 50x50 mm handrail of 193 cm, a 50x35 mm bottom rail of 193 cm, the 70x70 mm post height 107 cm with its floor bracket, and the assembly hardware. Floor fixing hardware is not included.

Installation advice
Preparation: The elements in this kit measure 193 cm useful length for an announced span of 2 m — the difference corresponds to the embedments in the posts or wall connections. Check your measurements before starting: measure the available space and confirm that 193 cm of bottom rail fits within your configuration.
Assembly: Assemble the balustrade flat. Place the bottom rail, insert the 10 balusters spacing them evenly (≤ 11 cm), then fix the handrail. Position the post on the free side and secure it using the included bracket. The other end (wall or stringer side) is fixed with metal brackets or wall plates depending on the configuration. Check vertical and horizontal alignment with a spirit level before final tightening.
Cutting possible: If your span is less than 193 cm, the handrail and bottom rail can be cut with a saw. Recalculate the number of balusters needed to maintain a spacing ≤ 11 cm over the reduced length.
Finishing: Apply varnish, oil-wax or paint before use. For an even result on all faces, finish before final assembly on hard-to-reach parts (between balusters in particular).
Maintenance and protection
Glued laminated beech is a stable wood for dry interiors, but sensitive to stains and moisture without protection. With a varnish (2–3 coats), maintenance is limited to cleaning with soapy water. Apply a light coat every 5 to 7 years depending on traffic intensity. With an oil-wax, plan for renewal every 1 to 2 years. Check the tightness of floor fixing screws and post connections annually.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the useful length 193 cm and not 200 cm?
The 193 cm corresponds to the effective length of the rails (handrail and bottom rail), minus the embedments in the posts and wall connections. The covered span is indeed 2 metres once the kit is in place with its supports. This is a standard feature in the design of pre-machined kit balustrades.
Is this 2m + 1 post kit different from the 2m + 2 posts kit Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts?
Yes. The Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts includes 2 posts and is self-supporting (free-standing without wall support). This Beech balustrade kit 2m + 1 post has only one post: it is designed for configurations where one end anchors to a wall or a stringer. If you have no lateral support available, choose the Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts.
Can two 2m kits be combined to cover a 4m span?
Yes. Two 2m + 1 post kits Beech balustrade kit 2m + 1 post cover 4 m with an intermediate post at the junction and a post at each free end. The junction between the two sections is made by dowelling or metal brackets. The spacing between posts must not exceed 1.5 m maximum for the rigidity of the assembly.
Can the handrail be cut down if the span is less than 193 cm?
Yes. Fir and glued laminated beech can easily be cut with a circular saw or jigsaw. Mark the cut carefully with a square, saw perpendicularly and sand the edge to obtain a clean face. Recalculate the number of balusters needed to maintain a spacing ≤ 11 cm over the reduced length.
Is this beech balustrade resistant to bathroom humidity?
No. Glued laminated beech is not suitable for humid environments or high condensation (bathroom, unheated conservatory). In humid conditions, the laminations gradually delaminate. For use in a damp room, consult WoodUp for alternatives in suitable materials (anodised aluminium, stainless steel).
