What it's used for

• Creating a neat 90-degree turn at the top or bottom of a staircase flight without additional on-site joinery
• Replacing damaged or missing newel turn posts in domestic staircase refurbishments
• New-build staircase installations where a change of direction is required between flights or landings
• Use alongside matching newel caps, base plates, and handrails for a co-ordinated stair system

Fitting and handling

Allow the post to acclimatise in the installation environment for at least 48 hours before fixing, particularly in newly plastered or heated properties where moisture levels may fluctuate. The machined top and bottom ends are designed to accept standard newel cap and base fittings, which should be secured using appropriate wood adhesive and fixings suitable for the substrate. If left unfinished, apply a suitable primer, paint, or stain promptly to protect the timber and reduce the risk of movement after installation.

FAQ

What is a top and bottom newel turn post used for?

A top and bottom newel turn post is used where a staircase changes direction by 90 degrees, typically at a landing or where two flights meet. The machined ends allow it to accept newel cap and base fittings at both the top and bottom, giving a finished appearance without additional cutting on site.

Will this post fit with standard staircase components?

Yes. The 90mm x 90mm section is a common size that is compatible with a wide range of standard newel caps, base plates, and handrail fittings available from most staircase joinery suppliers. Always check the fitting bore size against your chosen accessories before ordering.

Can this pine newel post be painted or stained?

Yes. The machined finish provides a good surface for paint, primer, or a clear wood stain. Lightly sand the surface before applying your chosen finish, and use a knotting solution on any resinous areas if painting, to prevent bleed-through over time.
