Collection: Newel Posts

Newel posts are part of the main architecture of any staircase. They form the main structure and hold the other staircase parts - like the handrails and baserails - in place. 

Stair newel posts are a great way to put a unique spin on any traditional staircase. You can get them in a variety of materials, finishes and styles to match your current interior themes or stand out against the surrounding woodwork. 

Without a newel post, other staircase parts won’t have anything to anchor on to, meaning they’re more likely to bend and break from day-to-day use. 

Here at Stair Crazy, we offer timeless oak newel posts that will perfectly finish off your staircase, while providing strength and structure. Combined with a newel cap, newel posts play an integral part of any staircase, both in style and structure. 

If you have any questions about your staircase and how to make it as structurally sound as possible, email us today at info@staircrazy.co.uk for a speedy reply.

When it comes to your staircase, it’s important to choose strong and reliable materials that last. Here at Stair Crazy, we recommend our solid oak newel posts, as they withstand even the heaviest of use. 

Oak is famous for being hard-wearing, scratch-resistant and durable, making it the perfect addition to any home or public setting. 

Yes, it’s important your staircase has an acceptable structure, but we understand you also want it to look nice. Our oak newel posts can change the atmosphere of any home, creating a warm and comforting focal point. 

With your stair newel posts, you have the opportunity to show off your personal style with simple, minimal designs or bold and heavily patterned staircase parts. Match up with the rest of your woodwork or pick a contrasting colour to stand out.

Like all of our oak staircase parts, our newel posts are available with an optional polyurethane lacquer to make your oak newel post shine and last even longer.

Here at Stair Crazy of course! We have a wide range of oak newel posts (with more designs coming soon), in a variety of finishes. 

Whether you want traditional oak or a white primed newel post, we’ve got you covered. Like all of our staircase parts, our newel posts are made from a solid oak core and surrounded by oak cladding to create a seamless finish.

Add on our optional lacquer to your oak newel post for an additional cost to create shine and make it even easier to manage.

Of course! Many homeowners choose to switch out their stair parts for newer versions when they notice signs of damage or when they fancy a change.

This is a great way to add some personality to your home, without having to completely renovate your flight - making it a much more cost-effective way of updating your hallway.

While you can switch them out yourself, we always recommend contacting a professional if you’re not confident when it comes to DIY projects. This ensures anything installed is done properly and safely - installing stair parts incorrectly could lead to further, costly problems.

It’s very common to paint areas of your staircase. You can opt for neutral tones or shades that compliment the surrounding woodwork and walls or make a statement with a bold colour that contrasts the rest.

However, to make sure you do it right, you need to take your time and create an even base beforehand for a smooth finish.

Sand down any existing paint or varnish and dust, before wiping over with a damp cloth. This removes any residue or dirt to guarantee a professional look that lasts.

To keep all edges neat, you can put tape and sheets on the surfaces you don’t want to paint - this is especially important if you’re using a different colour for the rest of your flight. Start at the top of the stairs and apply a primer.

When dry, it’s time to paint. Allow each layer to dry properly and build up the colour until opaque.

If you’d like to paint your newel post but want some advice, our friendly experts are more than happy to help. Just call us today on 01942 365 509 to chat with us directly.
