MONTJARDIN cuttable-to-size fir baluster handrail for FAGEOLE staircase

The MONTJARDIN handrail is a cuttable-to-size fir baluster handrail, designed to fit the FAGEOLE staircase and compatible with any straight staircase of a similar profile. Its great strength: it is cuttable according to the angle of inclination of the staircase, allowing precise adaptation without constraints from standard dimensions.

Delivered in untreated raw fir, ready to adjust and then finish as desired (paint, wood stain, varnish). Ideal for DIY enthusiasts who wish to customise their handrail to measure.

Installation advice

Measure the angle of inclination of your staircase precisely before cutting the handrail to size. Use an angle gauge or digital level to determine the exact inclination. Cut the upper and lower ends of the handrail and uprights at an angle for a perfect fit.

Apply the chosen finish (varnish, paint or wood stain) before final fixing to also treat the concealed parts. Fix the bottom and top newel posts firmly into the steps or floor according to the kit instructions.

Maintenance and protection

The wood is delivered raw and untreated. Apply a protective finish before intensive use - satin varnish (2 coats), oil-wax or polyurethane varnish depending on the desired appearance. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, particularly benefits from an abrasion-resistant varnish.

Annual maintenance with a product suited to the chosen finish is sufficient to preserve the appearance of the wood. Avoid abrasive products or solvent-based cleaners that degrade finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MONTJARDIN handrail compatible with staircases other than the FAGEOLE?

The MONTJARDIN is designed primarily for the FAGEOLE staircase, but can be adapted to other straight staircases of a similar configuration if the dimensions and inclination are compatible. Check the height and width of your staircase before ordering to ensure compatibility.

How do I cut the handrail to match the angle of inclination of the staircase?

Measure the angle of inclination of your staircase (generally between 30° and 45°). Mark this angle on the ends of the handrail with a mitre saw. For the balusters, cut the bottom at an angle following the same angle so they rest flat on the bottom rail. An electric mitre saw greatly facilitates this work for precise and repeatable cuts.

What finish should I choose for an interior fir handrail?

For an interior fir handrail, satin varnish (2 coats) offers the best abrasion resistance for the handrail. Paint (2 coats over a white primer) allows a colour change. Interior wood stain gives a natural wood appearance. Avoid exterior oils on an interior handrail - they leave an unpleasant greasy film to the touch.

Is fir sufficiently resistant for a stair handrail?

Solid fir is perfectly suitable for an interior handrail. Its resistance is sufficient for normal use. However, it is more susceptible to knocks and scratches than beech or oak. For intensive use (family home with children, frequent traffic), opt for a resistant varnish finish and renew it every 5-7 years.

What is the regulatory height for an interior stair handrail?

In France, the minimum regulatory height for a handrail is 90 cm measured vertically from the step nosing for interior staircases (building regulations). For ERP (establishments open to the public), the height is a minimum of 1 m. Check the height of the handrail after cutting to ensure compliance.

What is the difference between the cuttable-to-size MONTJARDIN handrail and a standard non-cuttable baluster handrail?

A standard handrail is delivered to the exact dimensions of the staircase - it installs directly without cutting. The MONTJARDIN is delivered longer and must be cut to size according to the exact inclination of your staircase. It is more work but the fit is more precise, and it suits staircases whose dimensions do not match the catalogue standards.
