What AXXYS Squared Parts Do I Need

To complete a straight flight of stairs with a landing return you will need to buy the following AXXYS Squared Items

Up The Staircase

AXXYS Squared Stair Part Fitting Guide

You will need to decide whether you are using existing newel posts or replacing. If you are using existing then measure the distance between posts to determine what lengths of hand and base rail you need. Secure the base rail to the staircase string by drilling the base rail from the top and secure down through the rail into the staircase string with suitable wood screws. The screw needs to be slightly counter sunk. The screw heads will be hidden by the fillet strips and spindles. To fix the AXXYS Squared Base rail to the landing simply drill the rail and secure it to the landing floor boards.

The handrail will need to be cut to size and screwed into the AXXYS Squared Handrail Connector, one connector for the top and one for the bottom newel. Offer the handrail up to the post and support by inserting an AXXYS Squared Chrome Stair Spindle into the base rail groove and handrail groove. This will give you the correct height to fix the second part of the handrail connector to the post so the section on the handrail can be slotted to the part fixed to the newel post

Once the handrail has been connected you can insert all the spindles up the stairs making sure there is not a gap between them more than 99mm to conform to UK Building Regulations. We recommend that you secure the spindles and fillet strips in place with a polymer adhesive or suitable silicone to stop and rattle of the spindles once fitted to the staircase

Your AXXYS Chrome Squared landing spindles should be fitted in the same way as the stairs

If you have a landing area then you may need to mitre the hand rail and base rail at 90 degrees from the top newel post to create your return back across the landing area, use the Chrome Landing Level 1/4 turn. The handrail can be finished against the wall by fitting the rail to a wall patrice using the straight Landiing connector or adjustable connector. The two part Landing Handrail Connectors make the job of connecting the rail to the post easy.
