Stair Spindles and Balusters
Traditional and Contemporary Designs
Stair spindles form the backbone of any balustrade system, providing both safety and aesthetic appeal. Our selection includes turned stair spindles in various profiles, from classic designs to contemporary styles. Whether you're restoring a period property or building new, we stock spindles to suit every taste and budget. All our wooden spindles are kiln-dried and carefully graded to ensure strength and durability. We supply spindles in softwoods and hardwoods, each offering distinct advantages depending on your finish requirements and budget constraints.
Pine Spindles and Premium Hardwoods
Pine spindles remain one of the most popular choices for UK staircases, offering excellent value without compromising quality. Our pine spindles are sustainably sourced and dimensionally stable, making them ideal for both interior and exterior applications. For those seeking premium finishes, we also stock hardwood alternatives including oak and ash balusters. Wooden spindles UK-wide can be finished with paint, stain, or natural oils to complement your interior design. Each baluster is precisely machined to ensure tight, secure fitting within your handrail and newel post assembly.
Selecting the correct stair balusters depends on several factors: your building regulations, existing staircase dimensions, and aesthetic preferences. Building codes typically require balusters spaced no more than 100mm apart (measured at the widest point) to prevent children becoming trapped. We recommend measuring your existing spindles before ordering if you're replacing components. Our team can advise on quantities needed based on your stair width and riser height. Pre-machined spindles save considerable time during installation, and we can supply in bulk quantities for larger projects at competitive trade rates.
Every spindle slots into a baserail for stairs at the bottom and a handrail at the top — shop our pine and oak baserails to complete your balustrade.
