Fit Stair Balustrades
• Position stair balustrade alongside 75mm
top stair post and temporarily installed 75mm
bottom post.
(Dia. 1A)
• Determine the desired center of the
balustrade: either a baluster hole or between
two baluster holes.
(Dia. 1C)
• Measuring from the determined center, cut
both ends of the balustrades.
• Position stair balustrade approximately
35mm above stair nosing.
Tip: lay a 35mm
x 70mm Timber flat on nose of stair
treads. This will allow enough room for
installation of bottom snap.
Clamp stair
balustrade against top and bottom 75 mm x
75 mm posts. Using a sharp #2 pencil, mark
the stair channels at four (4) locations.
• If using a continuous hand rail, after
balustrade has been clamped to post, mark
cut lines on the H-channel and the 50 mm x
50 post using the bottom of the H-channel to
find your angle for post cut.
(Dia. 1B)
• Remove clamps and cut stair balustrade at
all four (4) locations.
(Dia. 2)
Take care to cut
stair channels at appropriate stair angle. Use
of Miter saw with a sharp non-ferrous blade
is recommended.
• Clean cut areas and apply touch-up
paint on all exposed ends.
Important Notes:
• Actual Stair Balustrade Lengths: 1830mm
Balustrades = 1765mm and 2440mm Balustrades
= 2320mm. 75x75mm posts are required to reach
1830mm and 2440mm lengths.
• Stair balustrades are shipped at a 37 degree angle.
Balustrades are adju/- 3 degrees.
• Maximum post spans on stair balustrade application
is 2440mm on center. Additional posts are required
on any stair application more than 2440mm in
length.
