Fitting Instructions
With the handrail connectors secure, cut the end
of the handrail vertically with the bottom newel
post, leaving 20mm protruding at the bottom of the
handrail. You can now fit the end cap securing with
two 30mm screws provided. (fig.13).
Baluster Assembly

Glass fitting instructions
Please Note;
When assembling the baluster brackets onto a baluster
tube, remember to slide the baluster bracket covers onto
the tube first followed by the tube bung and finally the
baluster bracket, then lie each baluster bracket onto a
separate piece of wood to ensure that they are both in-line
with each other.
Tighten the fixing screws prior to sliding the baluster bracket
cover over the baluster bracket, the baluster assembly is
now ready to be fixed on the hand/base rails
(fig. 14).
All holes for fixing the baluster brackets should be
pre-drilled.
The bottom baluster should be fixed vertically no more than
99mm from the narrowest part of the newel post, in the same
way as the top baluster was previously (fig. 15).
In order to space the remainder of the balusters evenly
measure the distance in mm between the centre points
of the 2 balusters already fitted and divide by 148.5.
Round the answer up to the next whole number and divide
the whole number back into the original measurement and
this will give you the exact spacing (if using a intermediate
newel you will need to add a baluster on either side of the
intermediate newel as well at the same dimensions of 99mm
the formula above will stay the same fig. 15).
Example - 2264mm between centre points of balusters divided by 148.5mm = 15.25, rounded up
to 16, then take the measurement 2264mm divided by 16 = 141.5mm which is the exact spacing
to the centre of the spindles.
Pre-drill all holes for the baluster brackets after marking their position on the hand rail and
base rail, using the spacing measurement from the previous step.
