The handrail has a diameter of 54mm.
Can this be cut to size?
Yes, the oak rail can be trimmed to your desired length using a standard wood saw.
Is the wood pre-treated?

Troubleshooting
Handrail feels loose after installation
Check that the bracket-to-wall screws are tightened and that the wall mounting surface is not crumbling or hollow.

Lightly sand the oak with fine-grit sandpaper and apply an appropriate wood oil or wax finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your walls are solid and can support the weight of the timber and the user. Position the brackets at regular intervals along the rail, using the pre-drilled flat underside as a guide. For care, it is essential to seal the oak immediately after purchase to prevent moisture absorption and warping. Periodic maintenance involves wiping the rail down with a soft, dry cloth and reapplying wax or oil every 12 to 18 months to keep the finish vibrant and protected.
