Installation advice
Can be installed after the staircase has been fitted. Fix the wooden newel posts, then assemble the metal rails horizontally. Height minimum 90 cm, spacing between rails less than 11 cm. Apply varnish to the wooden newel posts before final fixing.
Maintenance and protection
The wood is delivered raw and untreated. Apply a protective finish before use: 2-coat satin varnish (maximum durability), oil-wax (natural look, renewal every 1–2 years) or paint. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, benefits from an abrasion-resistant varnish.
Annual maintenance with a product suited to the chosen finish. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based products.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a black metal rail handrail and a wooden spindle handrail?
The black metal rail handrail offers a contemporary design with clean horizontal lines, ideal for modern interiors. The wooden spindle handrail brings a traditional and warm feel. Both comply with standard NF P01-012. The choice depends on the style of your interior.
What is the outer side of a quarter-turn staircase?
On a quarter-turn staircase, the inner side is the side towards which the staircase turns (inside of the curve) and the outer side is the open side of the flight. This handrail is fitted on the outer side. Walk up your staircase and observe the position of the quarter turn to determine your side.
Is this handrail reversible?
No, this handrail is non-reversible as it is designed for a quarter-turn staircase. The geometry requires a specific shape and specific angles. You must check the position of the quarter turn and the direction of ascent before ordering.
Should the wooden newel posts be treated before installation?
Yes, the glued laminated timber newel posts are delivered unfinished. Apply a varnish or paint before final fixing. Choose a finish consistent with the staircase treads for a uniform appearance.
How do I maintain black metal rails?
Black metal rails require no treatment. An annual clean with a soft damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive or acid-based products. In the event of surface scratches, a black metal touch-up paint can be applied.
