Specifications

What it's used for

• Cladding existing 90mm newel posts during staircase refurbishments where replacement is not practical
• Matching oak handrails, baserails, and stair treads for a consistent finish throughout a hallway or landing
• Updating a painted or damaged newel post with a solid oak face without structural work
• Complementing oak flooring or other joinery in open-plan living areas where the staircase is a focal point

Fitting and handling

Allow the oak to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before installation, particularly in centrally heated homes where timber movement is more pronounced. The mitred pieces are designed to be bonded with a suitable wood adhesive, applied to a clean, dry surface, and held firmly while the adhesive cures. Once fixed, the cladding can be sanded and finished with oil, wax, or a clear lacquer to suit your existing oak joinery.

FAQ

Will this kit fit a newel post that is already in place on my staircase?

Yes. The cladding is designed specifically to be applied over an existing 90mm square newel post without the need to remove or replace it. The mitred edges meet flush when the pieces are bonded correctly, giving a clean finish around all four faces.

Which length should I choose, 1500mm or 2400mm?

Measure the visible height of your newel post from floor level or the base rail to the top. If your post is a standard landing or base newel up to roughly 1400mm tall, the 1500mm kit should be sufficient. For taller newels or if you need to cover additional height, choose the 2400mm option.

Can I stain or oil this cladding to match my existing oak stair parts?

Yes. Because this is solid white oak rather than a veneer or laminate, it takes oils, waxes, and stains in the same way as other solid oak stair components. We recommend finishing with the same product used on your handrail or treads for the closest colour match.
