What is a Newel Post?
A newel post is the central supporting post of your staircase. It’s the solid, upright post at the top and bottom of your stairs — sometimes also found at turns or landings. The balustrade (your spindles and handrail) attaches directly to the newel post, making it both a structural anchor and a key design feature. Because of its prominent position, the style and condition of your newel posts have a big impact on the overall look of your staircase.

Complete Your Staircase Makeover
You don’t need to renovate every part of your staircase to get a great result, but it’s worth thinking ahead about the finish you want to achieve. Since each component needs to be measured and cut before fitting, the order of installation makes a difference. We recommend following the below sequence for the smoothest process and best outcome.
1. Newel Post Replacement or Newel Post Cladding
It is recommended to start with the newel post, as the size of the post will affect all the other components.
2. Stringer Cladding
Stringers should be cut and installed second, as those will affect the length to which steps cladding (optional) needs to be cut.
These cover both the inner and outer side of the stringer.
3. Balustrade
We offer a selection of different balustrades, including following styles:
Glass, Metal Spindle, Metal Panel, 41mm Spindles allowing full customisation. We also have some presets that you may want to explore.
4. Steps Cladding
Finally, the steps can be done. Once all the other components are in place, installing our oak treads should be simple and ensures that all the components fit seamlessly and do not leave any gaps when done properly.
