The above newels can be used as shown in the drawing below. This is the cheapest means for manufacturing staircases.
Length of Newel
The length of the newel to purchase for the landings, top and bottom of staircases are, in most cases 1500mm long, it depends on the style of staircase and how deep your trimmers are. Pear Stairs sell more newels this length than any other length available.
If you are renovating a staircase then the length of the other newels are taken by first measuring the length of the existing newels. Then purchase the next largest newel length in the chart below:
|
1500 mm |
So for example, if you measure an existing newel at 2050mm you have to purchase a newel 2400mm long. You can cut it to length when it arrives on site.
Turned Staircase Newels
If you want to change the top half of the newel to a fancy design, this is also easy, first you need to decide which style of turned newel you require (that will sit on a base newel). Your choice of style includes: Georgian, Fluted Georgian, Oxford, Fluted Oxford, Provincial and Twist, see below
Georgian
The Georgian style is our most popular choice. Shown here in Pine, available as standard in 90mm, 70mm and 83mm are also available upon request. With its elegant but simple design it will suit most styles of home.
