Straight Glued Laminated Beech Post H 107cm – 70x70mm Section for Interior Balustrade

This straight post in glued laminated beech measures 107 cm in height with a square cross-section of 70x70 mm. It is designed to complete or form the uprights of WoodUp beech balustrades (kits Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts, Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post, Beech balustrade kit 1m + 2 posts, Beech balustrade kit 2m + 1 post). Supplied raw, not pre-drilled and without hardware, it offers total freedom in the choice of placement and fixing method.

The 107 cm height corresponds to the standard post height in WoodUp beech balustrade kits: once the rails and handrail are in place, the finished balustrade height reaches 1 metre, compliant with standard NF P01-012 for interior landing balustrades. Glued laminated beech offers better dimensional stability than solid beech — its cross-laminated construction limits shrinkage and warping in interior conditions.

Key points

✓ Standard 70x70mm section — direct compatibility with all WoodUp beech balustrade kits
✓ Height 107cm — gives a finished height of 1m once the rails are in place
✓ Not pre-drilled — total freedom in the placement and orientation of drillings
✓ Glued laminated beech — superior stability to solid wood, fine homogeneous grain
✓ Sold individually — for extending or replacing a post in an existing kit
✓ Indoor use only — do not expose to outdoor moisture

Installation advice

Positioning: Mark the post axis on the floor and check alignment with adjacent posts. Maintain a maximum spacing of 1.5 m between posts to preserve the regulatory rigidity of the balustrade. The non-pre-drilled post allows free choice of the height and position of assembly drillings — always drill perpendicular to the face for a clean assembly.

Floor fixing: Fix the post using a bracket or floor plate suited to your substrate (not included). On concrete: cast-in or expansion anchor plate. On timber floor: screwed plate. Check verticality carefully with a spirit level — a post out of plumb will compromise the alignment of the entire balustrade.

Drilling: Use an Ø8 mm wood twist drill bit for assembly drillings. Mark positions with a scribe, pre-drill first at Ø4 mm to avoid splitting the beech, then finish at the final diameter. Glued laminated beech is dense — careful drilling prevents splits at the base of the section.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a finish before putting into service: varnish (2–3 coats) for a durable result, oil-wax for a natural look. Raw glued laminated beech marks quickly on contact with hands and reacts to variations in ambient humidity. Once finished, clean with soapy water. Never expose outdoors — glued laminated timber delaminates with prolonged moisture.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the post measure 107cm when the balustrade is 1m high?

The 107 cm height corresponds to the total length of the post. Once the bottom rail is placed on the floor (resting on the fixing plates) and the handrail is fixed at the top, the usable height of the balustrade between the floor and the top of the handrail is 1 metre. This design is standard in the WoodUp beech range — the extra 7 cm correspond to assembly tolerances and the thickness of the plates.

Is this beech post compatible with the Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts?

Yes. The Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts kit (2m + 2 posts) uses posts with a 70x70mm section H 107cm — exactly this post. It can be used to replace a damaged post, add an intermediate post over a large span, or build a balustrade entirely from individual pieces. The section and height are identical across all WoodUp beech kits (Beech balustrade kit 2m + 2 posts, Beech balustrade kit 1m + 1 post, Beech balustrade kit 1m + 2 posts, Beech balustrade kit 2m + 1 post).

How do I fix this post to a timber floor?

On a timber floor, use a screwed anchor plate compatible with the 70x70mm section. Fix the plate with Ø5mm wood screws at least 60mm long into the load-bearing structure (joist or batten). If screwing into plywood or OSB alone, reinforce with a wider plate or anchor into the underlying structure. The post is then fixed into the plate by bolting or lateral screwing.

Can this glued laminated beech post be painted?

Yes. Glued laminated beech takes paint very well after light sanding with 150-grit. Apply a bonding primer, then two coats of satin acrylic paint or polyurethane lacquer. For a dense, even white finish, fine-grained beech gives excellent results. Painting is one of the most popular finishes for this species in contemporary interior settings.
