Choosing your materials
Selection guides.
A staircase is the sum of its parts. These guides explain each one in plain language, so you can choose with confidence before Ben builds.
- 01Hardwood SelectionWhich species of hardwood will you use? A lot comes down to how you plan to finish it, whether you are painting, staining or clear coating.
- 02Handrail SelectionWhich handrail will you use? It is a practical and an aesthetic choice: how does it feel to hold, and how does its shape tie in with the finishes already in your home?
- 03Post & Cap SelectionWhich post will you use? The post plays a vital role in the structural strength of your railing system and sets its style. Paired with a cap, you can customise it individually, with hundreds of combinations to choose from.
- 04Spindle SelectionWhich spindles will you use? Spindles are the feature and contrast of your railing system. There are many styles, finishes and combinations to choose from; here are a few to get you started.
- 05Bracket SelectionWhich bracket will you choose? Brackets play an important part in the strength and style of your wall-mounted handrail. Match them to your spindles, or contrast them with your hardwood finish.
