Product Information

Newel caps -Situated on top of a newel post, newel caps are the perfect finishing touch to a staircase. Pegged newel posts are ideal if you can’t easily remove the existing newel base from your staircase, but want to update the look of your newel.

The most common means of fixing a newel post to the floor is to use a newel post fastener, which secures a newel post to a timber joist through either concrete or wooden flooring. [8] In popular culture [ edit ] There are many types of grab rail. The main types are briefly introduced below, before going into greater detail about grab rails and their use in specific areas of the home.Base rail - When you are thinking of your stair design, the base rail is likely to be far from your thoughts. A base rail is a small but important part of the design process. Not only does it add a finishing touch, but is also an essential safety feature that ensures that your stair spindles are securely held in position.

The height will depend on your needs, often at the same height as an existing banister rail. This is usually between 900-1000mm above the pitch line of the stairs. A plastic coated steel construction gives the Newel Rail rigidity and durability, and allows for a comfortable grip. There are many different sub-categories within these seven styles, but we will let you explore them on your own. Further, there is a completely different style of box newel called the Craftsman Series Box Newels, but the differences between those box newels are more obvious to the naked eye, so we won’t waste your time here with the differences.

Box Newel Caps Newel Post Location: Determine the location of the newel post at the bottom or top of the staircase. If the newel post is on the right side as you approach the stairs from a particular direction, you will typically need a right newel rail. Similarly, if the newel post is on the left side as you approach the stairs, you will generally need a left newel rail. It is recommended that it is run continuously from the bottom to the top of your flight of stairs, including going around the edge of any intervening landings and across window openings. The handrail should be allowed to continue past the top and bottom steps by 300mm (COT 2006 p8, DLF 2014, H M Government 2013, p14, diagram1.11).
