Existing Newel Bases
Important;
All newel bases must be cut off squarely in order for
the newel posts to sit perfectly level. Sand if required
to achieve correct level. Once level they can be
chamfered to improve the aesthetic. Please also note
that the newel connectors do not allow for any height
adjustment, so newels must be set at the correct
height to achieve building regulation standards.
axxys® evolution
can be installed using the existing
staircase newel bases. If the existing newel bases
are to be used, they must be positioned central to
the stair string and front edge of the riser concerned,
and must be a minimum of 81x81xmm square, if
they measure less the sides will have to be built up
using suitable material. They must also have enough
material once cut, to achieve the dimensions shown
plus the baserail height (fig. 2 & 3).
Prior to cutting the newel bases down to the correct height, the
axxys® evolution
baserail must be
temporarily fitted to the string. First Lie the baserail on top of the tread nosings and push it up against the
newel bases, then mark the vertical lines and cut achieving a good finish (fig. 1)
Rest the cut baserail on top of the string, temporarily fix it in place at this stage using tacks or double sided
tape.
