Bespoke Metal Spindle Layout Configurator
Use our advanced configurator to instantly lay out your metal spindles. You can select a single uniform spindle style, or alternate between compatible designs. We automatically calculate the optimal layout—guaranteeing your balustrade starts and ends perfectly with Box 1—while remaining strictly within UK building regulation constraints (gaps under 99mm) and ensuring wider feature spindles maintain a minimum 2mm clearance.
Note: 13mm spindles, 14mm round spindles, and New York spindles are in separate families and cannot be mixed with each other, nor can New York spindles be paired as alternates.

Why Choose Black Iron & Oak?
Black metal spindles are an increasingly popular choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Available in a variety of elegant round or crisp square designs, they add a touch of sophisticated contrast and modernity to the overall aesthetic of a space. The matt black finish is frequently chosen for its striking visual impact, its durability, and its ability to seamlessly complement a wide variety of hallway color schemes.
Bespoke Pre-Drilling Service: To make installation as straightforward as possible, we supply all our timber handrail profiles pre-drilled. Choose between a precise 14mm round hole or a 13mm grooved slot to perfectly suit your chosen black iron spindles. We recommend a maximum spacing of 125mm between holes on the rake of the stairs, and 90mm on the landing.
All rake handrails and baserails are drilled to the specific rake angle of your staircase. Once your order is placed, full CAD drawings are provided by our expert team to ensure perfect, compliant spacing between your newel posts before any manufacturing begins.
