Newel Posts and Half Newels in White Primed Redwood and Oak
Newel posts are the posts at the top, bottom and turns of a staircase that the handrail and strings are fixed to. We stock 90 x 90mm white primed redwood newels, chamfered on all four sides in three lengths or square edged in a 4500mm length, laminated oak newels with a square edge in six lengths from 1500mm to 4200mm, and half newels in both for fixing against a wall.

Fixing a new newel
A loose newel makes the whole balustrade feel loose. The bottom newel should be bolted to the string and fixed down into the floor structure.
Frequently asked questions
What size newel post do I need?
Most staircases use a 90mm newel, which is the size we stock. Measure your existing newel if you are matching one.
Can I replace a newel post without replacing the stair?
Usually, yes. The old newel is cut off above the string and a new newel is jointed on. A joiner can tell you which method suits your stair.
What is a half newel?
A newel half the depth of a full one, fixed flat to a wall to take the end of a handrail. Ours are 90 x 45mm in white primed redwood and 90 x 43.5mm in oak.
Are newel caps included?
Caps are sold separately so you can choose the timber. See our newel caps.
