Installation tips
Fix the vertical boards to the string at regular intervals. Check the plumb before tightening. Fix the rails horizontally. Spacing between rails less than 11 cm, height 90 cm minimum from the nosing of the step. Apply the finish before final fixing.
Maintenance and protection
The wood is delivered untreated. Apply a protective finish before use: 2-coat satin varnish (maximum durability), oil-wax (natural appearance, 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
Can this handrail be fitted on the right or left side of the staircase?
Yes, this handrail is reversible - it can be fitted on either the right or left side when going up, depending on your configuration. No modification is required.
What finish should be applied to this wooden handrail?
The handrail requires an abrasion-resistant finish: 2-coat satin varnish is recommended. Oil-wax or paint for the balusters and posts depending on the décor. Apply the finish before final fixing.
Does the spacing between the balusters comply with the safety standard?
The spacing must be less than 11 cm (standard NF P01-012). Check the actual spacing after installation. The minimum height of the handrail is 90 cm from the nosing of the step.
Should the wood be treated before or after installation?
Before, preferably: apply the finish to all components before final fixing to treat hidden areas as well. Allow to dry completely before fixing.
Is the included hardware sufficient to fix the handrail to the steps?
The included fixings cover the assembly of the handrail components together. For fixing to the steps and floor, provide screws or coach screws suited to the staircase material (wood: screws 5x60 mm min., concrete: wall plug + stainless steel screw).
