The glue-laminated core delivers reliable dimensional stability, while the solid oak outer face allows sanding and refinishing over the life of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProperty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngineered oak, glue-laminated core with solid oak outer face\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58mm x 58mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4200mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare section with 11mm central glass groove\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnfinished, ready for stain, oil, or lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal glass panel balustrade systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop rail for glass panel staircase balustrades in new-build and renovation projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanding balustrade handrail where a frameless or semi-frameless glass infill is specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement handrail where an existing grooved rail has degraded or is undersized for 11mm toughened glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature handrails in open-plan interiors where a continuous oak rail over glass panels is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow the handrail to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before installation, keeping it flat and supported along its full length to prevent any movement prior to fixing. The 11mm groove is machined to accept standard 11mm toughened or laminated glass panels, which should be seated with appropriate glazing tape or clear silicone to prevent rattling and to protect the glass edge. Once fitted, finish with a hard-wearing interior wood oil or lacquer, applying to all faces including the groove to protect against moisture ingress in areas such as entrance halls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this handrail fit 10mm toughened glass panels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe groove is machined to 11mm, so 10mm glass will sit loosely without packing. Use 1mm glazing tape on each face of the glass to take up the tolerance and prevent movement. If you are specifying new glass, order 11mm toughened panels to match the groove directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cut this engineered oak handrail to a shorter length on site?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The rail can be cross-cut on site with a fine-tooth saw. Because the oak outer face runs the full length of the section, cut ends will show the laminated core, so fit an oak end cap or mitre the joint where the cut end will be visible. Nottage Timber Merchants can also supply the rail cut to your specified length - contact us before ordering if you need a non-standard length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs engineered oak handrail more stable than solid oak?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, in most practical situations. The glue-laminated construction resists the cupping, twisting, and seasonal movement that can affect solid timber, making it a better choice for long continuous runs and centrally heated interiors. The solid oak face layer is thick enough to sand and refinish multiple times without breaking through to the core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/oak-mouldings\"\u003eoak mouldings and oak joinery profiles\u003c\/a\u003e at Nottage Timber Merchants.
