What's the best way to clad my existing strings?

We recommend using oak faced apron lining to clad your existing strings. You can cut the apron lining around the profile of the treads and risers on your internal strings. We recommend using a hockey stick moulding to finish the top of the string on the wall side and a cushion corner trim to finish the underside on the seen face.

Do you offer newel post cladding kits for double posts?

We don’t offer a specific kit for double posts, however some customers have used our oak newel cladding kits butted up to each other to great effect. You may just need to trim them down in the width to fit.

What happens if my existing newel post is between the sizes that you sell?

We recommend that you select the next cladding size up, then you can pack out your post to the required size.

Can you clad a turned newel post?

Yes, you’ll just need to ensure that the cladding kit is securely fitted to the square part of the post as you won’t be able to glue the kit to the turned section.

How do you fit the newel cladding kits?

Our oak newel cladding kit comes in four pieces that connect together around the newel post. Using timber glue, simply fix the pieces around the post then hold in position with clamps until the glue has set.

How many clamps should I use when fitting a newel cladding kit?

We recommend using a minimum of 3 clamps per cladding kit, although the more clamps you can use the better to ensure a solid fix.
