Product Information
Full details
The Flair Stairs Deep Traditional Handrail is an excellent choice for homeowners and contractors looking to renovate staircases with a durable, eco-friendly solution. Offering the aesthetic appeal and structural strength of oak while being made from sustainable bamboo, this 1.2m handrail is engineered to resist warping due to temperature changes. While it provides superior stability, users should be aware that the product arrives unfinished, requiring staining or sealing to match their specific interior design.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does the handrail come with spindles?
No, this product includes only the handrail itself.
Can I paint this handrail?
Yes, as the product is supplied unfinished, you can prime and paint it to your preferred colour.
Is the bamboo material as strong as oak?
Yes, this handrail is engineered to provide the strength and longevity comparable to oak while offering better resistance to warping.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a saw for cutting to length, wood glue, and professional fixing brackets or wall mounts.
Can I use this outdoors?
This product is designed for indoor staircase use. Using it outdoors may affect its longevity even with protective finishes.
How do I ensure the colour matches my current stairs?
Because natural bamboo can vary in colour, it is recommended to test your stain or finish on a small, inconspicuous area or an off-cut first.
Troubleshooting
Spindles do not fit snugly in the groove
Verify your spindle thickness is 41mm. If the fit is slightly loose, use a quality wood glue or bead to secure the spindle base within the groove.
Visible colour difference between two pieces
Bamboo is a natural product; use a tinted stain or varnish to blend the colours of multiple handrail sections for a uniform appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard carpentry tools and wood adhesives compatible with bamboo. Before installation, store the handrail in the room where it will be used for 24-48 hours to allow the material to acclimate to the environment. Ensure the groove is clear of any debris before inserting spindles. Because the product is unfinished, it is vital to apply a protective finish—such as varnish, oil, or wood stain—within a few days of installation to protect the material from moisture and dust. For maintenance, a simple wipe with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to maintain its finish.
