Specifications

What it's used for

• Securing 41mm turned or square pine spindles at the base of a staircase balustrade
• Landing balustrade installations in new-build and refurbishment projects
• Commercial staircases where a consistent, matched pine finish is required throughout
• Pairing with HDR handrails, newel posts, and post caps to create a co-ordinated staircase system

Fitting and handling

Allow the base rail to acclimatise in the installation environment for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly in rooms where heating has recently been introduced. The 41mm groove accepts standard HDR spindles directly, and spindles should be evenly spaced and fixed with a suitable wood adhesive or panel pins before the rail is secured to the string or floor surface. Once installed, the rail can be sanded smooth and finished with a compatible paint or stain to match surrounding joinery.

FAQ

What spindle size fits the groove in this base rail?

The groove is cut at 41mm wide, so it is designed to accept 41mm HDR pine spindles from the same range. Using spindles from outside the HDR collection may result in a loose or ill-fitting joint.

Can this base rail be cut down for shorter runs?

Yes. The 4200mm length can be cross-cut to suit your specific staircase or landing run. A fine-tooth saw is recommended to keep the cut clean and avoid tearing the timber face.

Does this base rail need to be primed before painting?

Pine is a resinous timber, so applying a good-quality wood primer or knotting solution before top-coating is advisable, especially over any knots present in the board. This helps prevent resin bleed and improves paint adhesion.
