Wooden stair railings

Stair railings are an indispensable element in every home. Not only do they ensure the necessary safety on your stairs, they also play a decisive role in the aesthetics of your staircase. A well-chosen railing can significantly influence the style of a room and leave a lasting impression. Here we address the most important questions our customers ask themselves when choosing a staircase banister.

Why choose a wooden staircase banister?

Wood is a material that brings warmth and naturalness to your home. Each type of wood has a unique grain and colour variation that gives your staircase banister an individual character. Whether you opt for the light and simple look of beech or maple, the friendly appearance of pine or the dark, rustic elegance of oak or ash – wood offers the right look for every taste.

A wooden banister is not only beautiful, but also robust and durable. It provides stable fall protection and a pleasant, non-slip feel. A secure handhold on the stairs is of utmost importance, especially for children, older people or people with limited mobility.

What parts does a stair railing consist of?

A stair railing is a complex system consisting of several important components:

• Stair balusters / railing balusters / pickets: These vertical elements fill the space between the handrail and the floor.
• Stair posts / railing posts: The posts give the railing stability and support.
• Handrail: The handrail forms the upper edge of the railing and serves as the primary support.
• Bottom rails: These are used to anchor the balusters to the floor.
• Wall connection rails: These are required to attach balustrade railings to the wall.

What design options are available for stair railings?

A wooden stair railing offers countless design possibilities. The material can be shaped and worked in many different ways to create designs ranging from traditional and classic to modern and minimalist. For example, you can choose a simple railing or enhance it with decorations, carvings or integrated metal elements such as stainless steel.

Frequently asked questions from our customers

DIN standards provide clear guidelines on safety. In the UK, balustrades on stairs in public buildings with a fall height of up to 12 metres must be at least 90 cm high. The spacing between the balusters must not exceed 12 cm to prevent children from slipping through or getting stuck. We will be happy to advise you during the planning stage to ensure that all safety standards are met.

Care depends on the surface treatment. Varnished railings are particularly easy to care for and can simply be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For oiled surfaces, regular re-oiling is sufficient to protect the wood structure and preserve the natural beauty of the material. In general, you should avoid aggressive cleaning agents and abrasive sponges so as not to damage the Surface.

The choice of wood depends on your individual preferences and the desired interior design style. You should also consider the type of wood used in your existing staircase. Light-coloured woods such as maple or beech are ideal for modern, minimalist or Scandinavian designs, as they make the room appear larger. Darker woods such as oak or ash give your staircase a classic, robust and elegant look that blends well with traditional or rustic environments. For special accents, you can also choose white beech or black beech shades, which are particularly effective in combination with other materials.

Can I install my wooden banister myself?

Yes, many of our products are designed so that they can be installed by experienced DIY enthusiasts with the right tools and our detailed installation instructions. We also offer matching installation materials to make your work easier. However, for more complex projects or if you are unsure, we always recommend hiring a professional to ensure maximum safety and stability. We can also pre-drill balustrade railings for you on request and at an additional cost. Please feel free to contact us for more Information.
