Brendan Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 My staircase has a 180 degree return onto the landing. This means that the string on which I want to mount the baserail is tight to the landing near the top. It is the same on both sides. Is it ok to trim down the baserail and balusters for this section, or do I need to come up with another solution? Cost is an issue, so I am hoping to use square profile pine for the staircase and landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’ve just realised the handrail is also going to interfere with the landing in this setup. I’m going to have to think of something else, aren’t I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Could you mount handrail on the wall on the other side? Just have landing balustrade at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 It’s open on both sides. There will be vertical ply floor to ceiling on the ground floor that side, 100mm wide spaced at 25mm gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 I think I will probably clad this side with ply as well, then fix a handrail between the newel posts somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuerteStu Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Could you have a stop start handrail, with a section where is spans the floor Depth in solid block? So it appears to travel through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
