Product Information
Full details
The Flair Stairs Deep Traditional Handrail is an excellent choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their staircase with a sustainable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing component. Crafted from high-quality bamboo, this 1.8m handrail offers remarkable strength and resistance to warping, making it a reliable alternative to traditional hardwoods. While it provides excellent performance, users should note that the natural bamboo construction means individual colour variations are expected, and the 1.8m length may require joining or trimming depending on the specific dimensions of your staircase layout.

FAQs
Can this handrail be painted?
While the finish is a rich brown, you can lightly sand and prime the surface if you wish to change the colour, though it is designed to be used with its natural finish.
Is the 1.8m length the only size available?
This specific model is supplied in a 1.8m length; multiple pieces may be required for longer staircases.
What is the primary benefit of bamboo over oak?
Bamboo is a highly sustainable, fast-growing grass that offers comparable strength and superior resistance to warping compared to many traditional hardwoods.
Does the 41mm groove fit all spindles?
The groove is 41mm wide; please verify that your spindle dimensions are compatible with this width prior to installation.
How do I handle corners or landings?
You will need to use appropriate staircase connectors or mitre cuts to join the handrail segments at angles.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a clean cut
Use a sharp, fine-toothed blade and wrap the cutting area in masking tape to prevent splintering during the cut.
Handrail feels loose after installation
Ensure that the spindles are fully seated within the 41mm groove and check that the mounting brackets are tightened securely to the newel posts.
Minor colour discrepancies between pieces
Because bamboo is a natural product, alternate the direction or placement of pieces to blend natural variations throughout the staircase run.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High structural strength comparable to oak
- Environmentally sustainable material choice
- Excellent resistance to warping and temperature changes
- Deep 41mm groove simplifies spindle installation
Cons
- Length is fixed at 1.8m which may require additional segments
- Natural product variation means exact colour matching can vary
- Requires proper cutting tools for precise installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a mitre saw for precise angle cuts when joining segments at landings or turns. Ensure that your existing or new spindles are compatible with the 41mm groove width before purchase. When installing, always pre-drill pilot holes to prevent the bamboo from splitting. For care and maintenance, wipe the surface periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the brown finish. If the surface becomes dull over time, a high-quality wood polish specifically formulated for bamboo or hardwood can be used to restore its natural lustre.
