The staircase spindles which you choose can have an overwhelming effect on the overall look of your stairs, and when you’re looking for an attractive style to add that finishing touch, look no further than Pear Stairs. We have an extensive range from which you can choose, so you won’t need to look elsewhere. When it comes to spindles, stairs can be ruined through choosing the wrong style, although we have an amazing variety of classic and contemporary styles from which you can take your pick. As we sell in oak, Sapele, pine, ash and hemlock, stairs of all types can be made even more beautiful. Selecting the right stair spindles can have a massive impact on the overall appearance of your staircase. But how do you know which is the right look for you? An integral part of a balustrade, spindles are the vertical struts that act as the infill between the baserail and handrail – preventing trips and falls when using the stairs. Here at Pear Stairs, we supply an extensive range of stair spindles online. Below are examples of the spindles we sell, these are supplied in a range of patterns to suit different tastes and styles and are designed to match newels.

Timber Spindle Options
 |
Oak Spindles - American/EuropeanAmerican White Oak is used exclusively in the UK for internal joinery, being kiln dried to approximately 10%. A Strong, heavy hardwood grown in the Eastern half of the United States. Due to the high costs of large sections, newel posts and handrails are laminated, careful attention being paid to grain matching. European Oak is a close relative botanically to Quercus Robur and our English species is equally adaptable for internal stair parts. |

Hemlock is of uniform density and will take stain easily with the minimum of colour distortion; it is easy to use and does not split or break whilst being worked, being less brittle and therefore stronger than many hardwoods. |
