Product Information

Full details

This Blueprint Joinery Clarity Oak Glass Handrail and Base Rail Set is designed for homeowners looking to create a modern, open-feeling staircase or landing. Its primary benefit is enabling a sleek glass balustrade system that visually expands your space. A key consideration is that glass clamps and toughened glass panels are sold separately, requiring additional purchases to complete the installation. This set provides the foundational oak handrail and base rail components for a contemporary staircase transformation.

This set includes one 1.8m oak handrail and one 1.8m oak base rail. Glass clamps and toughened glass panels are sold separately.

Can I paint or stain the oak rails?

Yes, the natural oak finish is designed to be stained or painted to match your existing décor. Ensure the surface is properly prepared before application.

What type of glass is compatible with this set?

This set is designed to work with toughened glass panels. The specific thickness and type of glass will depend on the compatible glass clamps you choose to use.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This product is intended for interior use. Outdoor conditions may affect the natural oak and any applied finishes.

How do I clean the oak rails?

Clean the rails with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic woodworking tools for cutting and securing may be required. The specific installation method will also depend on the chosen glass clamps and fittings.

Can I use this for a landing area as well as stairs?

Yes, this set is suitable for both stair and landing applications, providing a continuous look across different areas.

Troubleshooting

Rails do not align with existing staircase structure.

Measure carefully before purchase. For custom fits, consider cutting the rails to size using appropriate woodworking tools and techniques. Ensure correct installation angle for stairs.

Difficulty fitting glass panels.

Ensure you are using glass panels of the correct thickness and that your chosen glass clamps are designed to accommodate them. Check that the base rail is level and securely fixed.

Surface scratches or damage on oak rails.

Minor scratches can often be sanded out and re-finished with your chosen stain or sealant. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement of the affected section may be necessary.

Inconsistent finish after staining/painting.

Ensure the oak surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared (sanded smooth) before applying any finish. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This set provides the structural oak rails. Installation involves securing the base rail, fitting the toughened glass panels (sold separately) into the base rail and then attaching the handrail over the top. Specific fixing methods will depend on the chosen glass clamps (sold separately).

Compatibility: The Clarity range is designed for use with most standard glass clamps and fittings. Ensure the clamps you select are compatible with the thickness of your chosen toughened glass panels and the dimensions of the oak rails. It is suitable for both stair and landing applications.

Care: The natural oak rails should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. To protect the wood and achieve your desired look, it is recommended to apply a suitable wood stain, sealant, or paint. Reapply finishes as needed to maintain appearance and protection.
