Product Information
Full details
The Flair Stairs Bamboo Stop Chamfered Spindle is an ideal choice for homeowners and professional contractors looking for a sustainable, high-strength alternative to traditional hardwood staircase components. These 900mm spindles offer exceptional durability and superior resistance to temperature-related warping compared to standard oak, making them a reliable choice for long-term home improvement projects; however, users should note that as a natural material, the unfinished surface requires manual staining or oiling to achieve a desired finish and protect the wood.

FAQs
Are these spindles pre-finished?
No, these spindles are supplied unfinished to allow you to apply your own choice of oil, stain, or lacquer.
Can I use these for outdoor staircases?
No, this product is intended for interior use only and should not be exposed to outdoor elements.
Do I need to sand the spindles before finishing?
Yes, we recommend a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth surface for your stain or oil.
Will the color match the photos exactly?
As bamboo is a natural product, the final color may vary slightly from visual representations.
How strong is bamboo compared to oak?
Bamboo provides exceptional structural strength and is comparable to oak in terms of durability and hardness.
What is the length of the spindle?
The spindles are 900mm in length, which is the standard size for most UK residential staircases.
Troubleshooting
Spindle feels loose after installation
Check that the spindle length is correctly seated in the base and handrail sockets; apply a small amount of wood adhesive to the ends if necessary.
Color mismatch after staining
Test your chosen stain on a small, inconspicuous area or an off-cut first, as bamboo may absorb stains differently than oak or pine.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Excellent resistance to warping
- Sustainable and eco-friendly material
- Unfinished surface allows for full aesthetic customization
Cons
- Requires manual finishing (staining or oiling)

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your existing handrail and base rail are clear of debris. These spindles should be fitted into pre-cut holes or secured using standard spindle fixings. Because they arrive unfinished, it is recommended to sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper before applying any wood finish. For care, keep the spindles clean with a soft, dry cloth. If a stain or oil is applied, follow the maintenance instructions provided by the finish manufacturer to preserve the longevity of the bamboo surface.
