Product Information
Full details
The Flair Stairs Deep Traditional Handrail is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a sustainable, high-strength alternative to traditional hardwood railing. Crafted from eco-friendly bamboo, this handrail features a 41mm groove for versatile installation and offers exceptional resistance to warping, even in fluctuating temperatures. While its dense structure provides oak-like durability, users should be aware that because it is a natural material, the unfinished surface will require staining or sealing to match specific interior decors, and slight color variations are expected.

FAQs
Does this handrail come with spindles?
No, this is a handrail only. Spindles must be purchased separately.
Can I use this outdoors?
This product is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use would require specialized, exterior-grade UV and weather-resistant sealing.
Is the bamboo sustainable?
Yes, bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, making this a more environmentally friendly option than many slow-growth hardwoods.
Do I need to sand it before staining?
Yes, for the best results, a light sanding will remove any debris from manufacturing and help the stain absorb evenly.
Can this be cut to size?
Yes, it can be cut to your specific requirements using a standard handsaw or mitre saw.
Why is there color variation in the wood?
As bamboo is a natural plant-based material, variations in tone and grain pattern are a normal characteristic of the product.
Troubleshooting
Spindle fits loosely in the 41mm groove
Use high-quality wood glue or small timber wedges inside the groove to secure the spindle before finalizing the rail attachment.
Color mismatch between pieces
Bamboo is a natural material; apply a tinted wood stain to unify the color across different sections of the rail.
Rough surface texture
Lightly sand the handrail with 240-grit sandpaper following the grain of the wood before applying your initial coat of finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
To install, ensure your newel posts are firmly secured. Measure the span of your staircase carefully, accounting for the angle of the rake. Since the product is 2.4m, ensure your support posts are correctly spaced to avoid excess flex in the center of the rail.
Compatibility
The 41mm groove is standard for the UK and many international spindle systems. Verify your spindle dimensions before purchase to ensure a snug fit.
Care
As an unfinished product, the handrail must be sealed before use to protect it from grease, hand oils, and moisture. Clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may strip the finish you have applied.
