Key points
- ✓ Complete staircase + handrail pack: all-in-one kit to avoid multiple orders and guarantee aesthetic consistency
- ✓ Glued laminated beech: stable, wear-resistant - superior quality to fir
- ✓ Going 19 cm: Standard range, comfortable for everyday family use
- ✓ Wooden spindle handrail: classic finish, matched to the beech timber species of the staircase
- ✓ Pre-drilling required: dense beech - always pre-drill before screwing
- ✓ Direction not reversible: right or left - to be determined before ordering
Installation advice
Check the footprint (282 cm) and the stairwell opening (85x282 cm) before ordering. Determine the direction (right or left) - this is final. The wooden spindle handrail must be installed during staircase assembly - not after complete assembly. Pre-drill in the beech before any screwing. Minimum two people. Apply the finish after complete installation of the staircase and handrail.
Maintenance and protection
Apply a 2–3 coat staircase varnish before first use. Treat the staircase and handrail in the same way for visual consistency. The beech spindles and handrail rail are treated with the same product as the steps. Renewal every 5–7 years. Cleaning: damp cloth, pH neutral.
WoodUp advice
The MOLEDE with wooden spindle handrail is the ideal solution if you wish to order a complete beech lower quarter-turn staircase in one go. Compared to the MOLEDE without handrail, the handrail is included in an additional package - the staircase dimensions and the required stairwell opening are identical. The beech wooden spindle handrail perfectly complements the steps and stringers of the same model.
Important before purchasing: the handrail is included but must be installed during staircase assembly. The direction of the handrail follows the direction of the staircase ordered - it is not reversible. This pack is equivalent to the MOLEDE without handrail with a wooden spindle handrail added - if you are undecided about the handrail, this pack saves you an additional order and delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the MOLEDE without handrail and the MOLEDE with wooden spindle handrail?
The MOLEDE without handrail is delivered without a handrail - this can be ordered separately and added after assembly. The MOLEDE with wooden spindle handrail includes the handrail in the initial kit, with an additional package. The staircase dimensions (footprint, stairwell opening, steps) are identical in both versions. Choose the pack if you are certain you want a beech wooden spindle handrail.
Can the MOLEDE with handrail be ordered and the handrail not installed immediately?
The handrail is delivered with the kit but its installation is intended to take place during staircase assembly. If you wish to install it later, you may need to partially disassemble the staircase depending on its configuration. It is simpler to plan for handrail installation during the initial assembly.
What stairwell opening is needed for the MOLEDE with handrail?
The stairwell opening is the same as the MOLEDE without handrail: 85x282 cm. The handrail adds no additional constraint on the stairwell opening - it is fixed to the stringers and the newel posts of the staircase, not to the stairwell opening itself.
Can the MOLEDE with handrail be cut to size?
Yes. Cutting is carried out on the stringers according to the cutting chart in the instructions. The handrail is adjusted accordingly. For a height of 260 cm, the cut is approximately 20 cm on the stringers. Check the floor-to-floor height on finished floor and ceiling before proceeding.
Can the wooden spindle handrail be replaced by a metal handrail after assembly?
Yes, technically possible. A metal handrail compatible with an 80 cm lower QT can be installed as a replacement. The newel post fixing points are generally standardised. Contact WoodUp customer service to confirm compatibility with the MOLEDE model before proceeding with this replacement.
What finish should be applied to the beech wooden spindle handrail?
Apply the same product as on the staircase - staircase varnish for maximum protection, or oil-wax for a natural finish. Treat spindles, handrail rail and newel posts with the same product at the same time as the steps and stringers for perfect chromatic consistency. The spindles, being thinner, absorb more product - allow for a greater quantity than standard estimates.
