FONTBRUNO Straight Staircase in Glued Laminated Oak - Complete Kit with Wooden Spindle Handrail

This straight staircase in glued laminated oak is delivered as a kit with wooden spindle handrail included. The total width with handrail is 85 cm (80 cm without handrail). The floor-to-floor height is 280 cm for 14 steps, with a footprint of 259 cm. The steps have a section of 210x30 mm, a tread depth of 19 cm and a step height of 20 cm. This model belongs to the Standard range.

This kit includes the wooden spindle handrail: no additional order is required to secure the staircase. It is the fitted version of the FONTBRUNO oak staircase, sharing all the same structural dimensions. The glued laminated oak is delivered raw — a protective finish is mandatory before first use.

Key points

✓ Complete kit with handrail: wooden spindles and handrail included — no additional order required
✓ Glued laminated oak: stable, dense (700 kg/m³), wear-resistant — superior quality to fir
✓ Width 85 cm: total width handrail included — stairwell opening to be planned accordingly
✓ Pre-drilling mandatory: oak is a hardwood — screwing without a pilot hole risks splitting the wood
✓ Finish mandatory: raw oak marks quickly — apply a varnish before use
✓ Reversible handrail: can be fitted on the right or left when going up, depending on your configuration

Installation advice

Preparation: check the floor-to-floor height and stairwell opening before unpacking. The footprint of 259 cm must correspond to the space in the direction of ascent. The stairwell opening must allow a width of at least 85 cm handrail included. Allow for two people for handling — glued laminated oak is dense.

Screws: always pre-drill on oak before any screw fixings. Oak will split if screwed without a pilot hole.

Handrail: the spindles and handrail are assembled according to the supplied plan. The handrail is reversible — can be fitted on the right or left when going up. Check the plumb of the posts before final tightening.

Finish: apply the protective treatment preferably before fitting in order to treat hidden faces. On oak, allow for 2–3 coats of varnish.

Maintenance and protection

Raw oak must be protected before first use. Without protection, marks quickly become embedded in the oak grain. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, benefits from a satin varnish applied in 2 coats for maximum protection. Options:

✓ Aqua-polyurethane varnish: 2–3 coats — maximum resistance (renewal every 5–7 years)
✓ Oak oil-wax: natural finish enhancing the grain, annual renewal
✓ Polyurethane varnish: gloss finish and impact resistance

WoodUp Advice

The FONTBRUNO version with handrail is the right choice if you want a ready-to-install kit. It avoids having to source a compatible handrail separately and ensures visual consistency between the staircase and the handrail (same wood species, same finish to apply). If you prefer a metal handrail or a different wood species, opt for the version without handrail and order the handrail separately.

Important before purchasing: the total width of 85 cm (handrail included) must be taken into account for the stairwell opening. The opening must be at least 85–87 cm wide to allow for fitting tolerances. Check this against finished dimensions before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this FONTBRUNO and the version without handrail?

Both models share exactly the same structural dimensions (section 210x30 mm, footprint 259 cm, height 280 cm, 14 steps, tread depth 19 cm). The only difference relates to the handrail: this version includes the wooden spindle handrail in the kit, with a total width of 85 cm; the version without handrail requires a handrail ordered separately and fitted during assembly.

Can the handrail be fitted on the right or left depending on my configuration?

Yes, the handrail can be fitted on the right or left when going up, depending on which side you wish to hold. No specification of orientation is required at the time of ordering — the handrail is reversible. The included instructions indicate both possible configurations.

Can the same finish be applied to both the steps and the handrail?

Yes, and it is recommended for visual consistency. As both the staircase and the handrail are in glued laminated oak, applying the same varnish or oil to the entire assembly ensures a uniform tone. The handrail, subject to greater contact wear, benefits from an additional coat of finish compared to the steps.

What stairwell space should be allowed for with this handrail?

The total width with handrail is 85 cm. Allow for a stairwell opening of at least 87–90 cm wide for fitting tolerances. The footprint in the direction of ascent is 259 cm — allow 261–265 cm of stairwell length. A dimensioned drawing is available to download on the product page.

How many people are needed to install this staircase?

A minimum of two people are required to handle the oak stringers, which are heavy and long. Assembly of the handrail can then be carried out by one person. Allow half a day to a full day for installation depending on experience and site configuration.

Can this handrail be fitted on a staircase other than the FONTBRUNO?

The wooden spindle handrail supplied in this kit is dimensioned for the FONTBRUNO (14 steps, width 80 cm, footprint 259 cm). It is not intended for use on a staircase with different dimensions. For a separate handrail compatible with other staircases, please consult our handrail accessories range.
