Description

Start with a solid oak post

You get a 90mm square black oak newel post with a lacquered finish that shows the grain through a deep, even color. It feels smooth in the hand, with crisp edges and a clean profile that suits a stair landing or balustrade where the post needs to look finished from every angle.

Choose the length you need

Pick the height that fits your run, from 1500L for a shorter install to 2000L, 2400L, 3000L, or 3600L when the stair call is taller, with 4200L for longer spans. The extra length gives you room to cut and set it to size without losing that square, balanced look.

Use it where stairs meet railing

This is the piece you reach for when you want the stair rail to land on something sturdy and tidy. The lacquer helps keep the surface easy to wipe down, and the black finish pairs well with painted trim, raw timber, or metal details without stealing the room.

Our Newels are engineered, consisting of an Oak core with Oak cladded faces to leave a seamless finish with no joint lines. This product comes with polyurethane lacquer top coat on top of the stain.

This product is natural oak which may contain Medullary Rays and are celebrated by us as the finest quality oak. Our guide to newel posts

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
