Description
A modern black stair spindle with an open rectangle feature. This spindle is 1117mm (44 inches) tall, made from 12.5mm square hollow steel and finished in black powder coat. Plain square bar runs at the top and bottom, and in the middle the bar opens into one tall, narrow rectangle 96mm wide with crisp square corners. It weighs about 0.67kg, so it is light and easy to handle. Use it on its own or alternate it with plain spindles to give an oak or painted staircase a contemporary look. It is made for indoor stairs and landings. The price shown is for one spindle.
Why fitters use it
Ready finished. It comes powder coated black, so there is no painting to do once the stair is fitted.
Light and easy to cut. The hollow 12.5mm square bar is light to handle and simple to cut to the rake of your stair.
A modern update. Swapping timber spindles for black rectangle spindles gives an older staircase a fresh, contemporary look.
Mix and match. Alternate with plain black spindles for a balanced, rhythmic pattern up the stair.
Where it is used
Staircase balustrades, landings and galleries in homes, flats, offices and shops, for new stairs or stair makeovers.

Choosing the right spindle

- round hollow bar double oval spindle
- 100 x 1000mm long loop baluster in solid bar

Stairs, landings and balconies in homes: the gaps in the guarding must not let a 100mm sphere pass. Space the spindles so the gaps between them stay under 100mm.
Fitting and care
Mark the rake of your stair on each spindle, keeping the rectangles at the same height along the flight, and cut the square ends to that angle. Fix the spindles into the handrail and base rail with spindle shoes or fillets, checking each is plumb. Touch up any cut ends with black paint. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. These spindles are for indoor use only.
