Choosing Your Spindle Size
Pine is a fantastic blank canvas for your staircase. Its smooth texture is ideal for painting, allowing you to easily achieve popular two-tone aesthetics (such as white painted spindles against a natural handrail), while its charming grain looks beautiful when simply varnished. When selecting your spindles, it is crucial to ensure the thickness (32mm, 35mm, or 41mm) matches the grooved slot in your chosen handrail and baserail.
If you are starting a completely new staircase project, our 41mm option is the industry standard and our most popular size. Because of this, it offers the widest variety of design choices, from classic Georgian and Provincial turned profiles to modern, minimalist squares and stop chamfers.
