Installation advice

Exterior treatment is essential before installation - apply 2 to 3 coats of exterior stain or saturator on all faces, including edges and ends. The minimum regulatory height for an exterior railing is 90 cm (vertical measurement from the nosing).

Use stainless steel or galvanised fixings to avoid rust marks on the wood. Check the spacing between spindles: less than 11 cm (standard NF P01-012). Two people recommended for installation.

Maintenance and protection

The glued laminated timber is delivered raw without treatment. Apply 2 to 3 coats of exterior stain, oil or saturator on all faces (including edges) before installation or upon receipt. Without treatment, the wood deteriorates rapidly when exposed to the elements outdoors.

Renew the protection every 2 to 3 years depending on exposure (south-facing and very rainy areas require more frequent maintenance). Inspect fixings annually and tighten if necessary. A scrub brush clean with soapy water (neutral pH) at the start of the season is sufficient for routine maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Which species is recommended for an exterior railing exposed to the elements?

For exterior exposure, oak is the most naturally resistant species (service class 2–3), followed by treated beech. Fir is less naturally resistant but is suitable with rigorous and regular treatment. If your staircase is very exposed (direct rain, coastal location), opt for oak and renew the treatment every 2 years.

What treatment should be used for an exterior wooden railing?

For an exterior railing, use a quality exterior wood stain or saturator with UV and fungicide protection. Apply 2 to 3 coats on clean, dry wood (no rain forecast for 24 hours). Renew every 2–3 years depending on exposure. Avoid film-forming paints which can peel and trap moisture in the wood.

Are the included fixings suitable for exterior use?

For exterior use, fixings must be stainless steel or galvanised to resist corrosion. Check the contents of the kit on receipt - if the fixings provided are not stainless steel or galvanised, replace them with exterior-grade equivalents to avoid rust marks on the wood.

Is the FURKA exterior railing compatible with staircases other than the FURKA?

The railing is sized for the FURKA WoodUp staircase. Adaptation to other staircases of a similar configuration is possible by checking dimensional compatibility (height, exterior upper quarter-turn configuration). Contact WoodUp with precise measurements before ordering.

Should the railing be treated even if it is under a canopy or porch?

Yes, even under shelter, an exterior railing is exposed to air moisture and temperature variations. Treatment is always recommended, but the frequency of renewal can be reduced (every 3–5 years instead of 2–3 years) for well-sheltered timber.

What is the difference between the FURKA exterior railing and the FURKA interior railing (ID 1001)?

The FURKA exterior railing (ID 1136) is designed for exposed exterior use - it requires a stain or saturator treatment before installation. The FURKA interior railing (ID 1001) is designed for interior use and is finished with varnish or paint. They share the same compatibility with the FURKA upper quarter-turn staircase, but their treatment requirements and durability differ depending on exposure.
