Spindles

Spindles are supplied in a range of patterns to suit different tastes and styles and are designed to match newels. Most patterns come in two lengths: (900mm & 1100mm) and two sizes: (35mm² & 41mm²).

Calculating The Number of Spindles

Allow 2 spindles per tread, and 1 per tread where there is a newel. On a landing, measure the horizontal distance between newels in mm (max recommended run between newels is 2.4m) and divide by: 115 for 35mm spindles and 121 for 41mm spindles.

 

Reducing Spindles

These are used where the stair meets the ceiling under a landing and can be made to measure in any pattern. Each successive spindle is usually 100mm shorter than the last.
