Our bestselling traditional turned Georgian stair spindle are sometimes called Latvian. Used with 32mm grooved handrails and base rails on the staircase or landing area.
Pine Spindles are supplied 895mm long only
Oak Spindles are Supplied 895mm and 1100mm
895mm Spindles are used on domestic staircases and landing areas where building control require a handrail height of 900mm
1100mm Spindles are used on Cut String Staircases or Balcony situations where building control require a hand rail height of 1100mm. Please note 1100mm spindles are only available in the Oak Option
Use the following formula to calculate the number of 32mm spindles required
Straight Horizontal Landing – Measure the length of the rail between posts in mm and divide by 112 and round up to the nearest whole number
Staircase – Count the number of steps between newel posts and x 2 then deduct 1 spindle wherever there is a newel post
Newel Posts are fitted first followed by base rails and handrails.
When fitting spindles to your stair case you must first find the angle of the stairs, this can be achieved using a sliding bevel or angle finder.
Cut your spindles top and bottom to the right angle and length. Try each spindle between the hand and base rail sliding it from the bottom of the staircase to the top. This will ensure any rail run-out will be allowed for.
Once all your spindles are cut you will need to cut your spindle spacers from the fillet strip provided in our rails. This is cut at the same angle as the stairs making sure that the spindles are spaced no more 99mm apart.
Start at the bottom of the staircase and insert the first spacer followed by a spindle. We suggest dry fitting all your spindles and spacers before fixing into place then bed all spindles and spindle spacers on PVA wood adhesive. We recommend pinning the spindles in place, panel pins should be inserted below the level of the spindle spacer so the spacer will hide the head of the panel pin.
Counter sink any panel pin heads showing on the spindle spacer into the timber and fill with a matching wood filler
Follow the same procedure for the landing spindles
Handrail heights on the staircase are measured from the front bullnose of a step to the top of the handrail.
Spindles must not allow a sphere 100mm in diameter to pass between two spindles
