Specifications

What it's used for

• Stair handrails on domestic staircases, fitted to newel posts or wall brackets
• Ramp handrails for garden paths, decked areas, or access ramps
• Replacement handrail sections where an existing mopstick rail has deteriorated or been damaged
• New-build or renovation projects requiring a cost-effective, treated handrail ready for painting or staining

Fitting and handling

Store the handrail flat and off the ground in a dry, ventilated space before fitting, allowing it to acclimatise to the surrounding environment for at least 48 hours, particularly if moving from a cold yard into a heated interior. Fix using standard handrail brackets or newel post connectors, ensuring fixings are correctly spaced to prevent any flex along the length. If using externally, apply a suitable exterior paint or wood stain after fitting to add an extra layer of protection over the factory treatment.

FAQ

Is this handrail suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The preservative treatment improves resistance to moisture and decay, making it suitable for outdoor staircases and ramps. For best results in fully exposed positions, apply an exterior-grade finish after installation and check fixings periodically.

Will 2200mm be long enough for a standard staircase?

A single 2200mm length suits many straight domestic staircases, but flight length varies. Measure your stair pitch carefully before ordering. If your run exceeds 2200mm, two lengths can be joined with a handrail bolt and a suitable coupling for a neat, continuous finish.

Can this mopstick handrail be painted or stained?

Yes. Lightly sand the surface first to improve adhesion, then apply a primer coat followed by your chosen paint or exterior wood stain. Avoid sealing over a damp surface, and allow the timber adequate drying time if it has been stored outside.
