Installation tips

Install this handrail at the same time as the GAVIA staircase for a cohesive result. First fix the newel posts at the bottom and top, then the bottom rail, the spindles, and finally the handrail. Check the final height of 90 cm (vertical measurement from the nosing).

Apply the finish to all elements before final fixing. The handrail requires an abrasion-resistant finish (2-coat floor varnish recommended). The spacing between spindles must be less than 11 cm (standard NF P01-012).

Maintenance and protection

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

Which wood species to choose between fir, beech and oak for this handrail?

Fir is the economical option, softer but sufficient for an interior handrail with a protective finish. Beech is the traditional species for handrails: harder, abrasion-resistant, with a fine and regular grain. Oak is the premium choice: maximum lifespan, noble appearance, but higher price. For standard family use, beech offers the best quality/durability/price ratio.

Is this handrail compatible with staircases other than the GAVIA?

The handrail is sized for the GAVIA WoodUp staircase. Adaptation to other staircases of similar configuration (straight staircase) is possible by checking dimensional compatibility. Contact WoodUp with the precise measurements of your stairwell and staircase before ordering.

Can a different wood species be chosen from that of the staircase?

Yes, there is no obligation to match the wood species between the staircase and the handrail. Some homeowners choose oak for the handrail on a fir staircase for greater durability on the handrail, or for a contrasting aesthetic effect. Apply the same colour finish for visual harmony.

Is the handrail delivered assembled or as a kit?

The handrail is delivered as a kit to be assembled following WoodUp instructions. Assembly requires a drill, wood drill bits, a spirit level and a mallet or hammer. Installation is accessible to a DIYer with basic experience. Allow 2 to 4 hours for installation depending on the configuration.

What safety standard applies to an interior stair handrail?

In France, standard NF P01-012 applies to balustrades. For a private interior staircase, the minimum height is 90 cm from the nosing. The spacing between spindles must prevent the passage of an 11 cm sphere. These are the minimum regulatory requirements for new builds.
