The Importance of a Solid Oak Base
Newel bases (often referred to as bottom blocks) are the unsung heroes of your staircase. Bolted directly to your floor joists or stair stringers, they anchor the entire balustrade system. Without a heavy, dense base, your handrails are prone to lateral movement and wobbling.
Manufactured here in the UK from exceptionally dense Prime White Oak, our bases provide maximum structural rigidity while perfectly matching your oak newel posts and handrails. We offer three specific profiles to accommodate any project scale:
- 83mm Bases: Ideal for narrower staircases, older property renovations, or replacing legacy standard posts without needing to modify existing stringers.
- 90mm Bases: The modern industry standard. Perfectly proportioned for the vast majority of UK homes and compatible with our widest range of turning collections.
- 120mm Bases: Substantial, heavy-duty blocks designed for grand entryways, large statement staircases, and heavy glass-panel installations where maximum visual impact is required.
