When looking at upgrading your stairs there is a lot to consider and it isn’t as easy as it sounds. As there are so many different styles and variations of stair parts, there is a lot of thought and planning involved in every individual staircase design and it is easy to get confused about what part is supposed to go where.
Here is a list of stair parts and where they should go on your staircase.
- Half Newel Post – This is the large post which fits against the wall on the landing
- Landing return – this is the flat area of flooring usually at a right angle to the top of the staircase
- Spindle/ Baluster – this is the vertical post between the baserail and handrail, we offer 32mm, 41mm and 55mm spindles.
- Baserail – parallel to the handrail at the base of the spindles
- Handrail – Runs diagonally with the pitch of the stairs at the top of the spindles
- Newel Cap – a cap that sits on top of the newel posts
- Newel posts – this is the structural post at the bottom and top of the stairs which supports the handrail.
