🔧 Top Tips for Installing Stair Parts
1. Plan and Measure Carefully
-
Measure twice, cut once! Accurate measurements are key for a snug, safe fit.
-
Use a spirit level and angle finder to determine stair pitch and handrail angles.
-
Mark spindle spacing evenly.
2. Install in the Right Order
-
Start with newel posts, then move on to baserails, handrail, and finally the spindles
3. Use the Right Fixings
-
Zip bolts or RailFix kits make attaching handrails to newel posts much easier and stronger.
4. Cut and Fit Spindles with Precision
-
Use a jig or template to cut spindles to the correct angle and length.
5. Secure Handrails Properly
-
Always attach handrails to studs or solid fixings for safety.
6. Don’t Forget the Soleplate
-
If you're installing a stairwell balustrade, the soleplate (or base rail) must be level and firmly fixed.
🪚 Pro Tip: Always dry-fit components before final fixing. This lets you check alignment and make adjustments without damaging materials.
