What are the benefits of using Black Oak Square Newel Posts?

There are many benefits to using black oak for a newel post, in terms of colour and material. 

Black newel posts are renowned for offering a contemporary and dramatic contrast to neutral colours and traditional wood shades. It also looks incredible alongside glass and metallic elements, for design-led homes. 

Black oak, as a material, also brings high durability, style, low maintenance needs, and very easy cleaning - perfect for busy homes!
What are the differences between oak and white primed posts?

The main differences between the black oak newel posts and white primed posts are:

  • Wood types - White primed newels are made from Brazilian pine, while black oak posts are made from oak.
  • Colour - Black oak newel posts are considered finished in their black form, while white primed newel posts can be given another white top coat or another colour as you prefer. 
  • Price - Oak is a slow-growing hardwood with a longer maturity timeline, making it more resource-intensive to harvest and process. By comparison, pine is fast-growing, abundant, easier to manufacture from, and quick to replenish. 
How to maintain and care for black oak square newel posts?

Maintenance of your square newel posts is essential to keep them looking good and to give structural integrity to your staircase. 

To achieve this, we advise: 

  • Weekly dusting with a dry duster or microfibre cloth 
  • Deep cleaning every month or so with a few drops of mild wood soap and warm water. Always wash in the direction of the grain and dry it immediately.
  • If oiled or waxed, reapply every 6 to 12 months and buff to a smooth finish 
  • If painted, wipe away scuffs with a barely damp cloth and touch up scratches as needed with black wax or wood enamel/paint
