Spindles

Spindles are the vertical balusters that fill the infill panel between handrail and baserail in a staircase balustrade, providing the safety barrier that prevents falls from the staircase edge while contributing significantly to the visual character of the stair. At McMahons, we stock spindles from the Burbidge range in designs suited to standard domestic staircase configurations.

Our Spindles Range

  • Square-section pine spindles - clean-lined square profile spindles for use with Burbidge grooved handrails and baserails, providing a contemporary or minimalist balustrade aesthetic suited to modern domestic interiors. The square top and bottom profiles locate cleanly into the handrail groove and baserail groove for a secure, tidy connection.
  • Turned pine spindles - classically turned spindles with decorative profiles for traditional staircase balustrades in period and traditional-style properties, providing a more ornate infill detail suited to Victorian, Edwardian, and country-house interior schemes.
  • Ready to decorate - all spindles supplied in bare pine, ready to paint, stain, or varnish to coordinate with handrails, newel posts, and other stair components in your chosen finish.

Complete your balustrade with compatible Burbidge components from our Handrail, Baserail, Newel Posts, and Newel Caps sections.

Building Regulations require spindle spacing to prevent a 100mm sphere from passing through the balustrade at any point. This typically means spindles should be spaced no more than 99mm apart, depending on the spindle width. Always calculate spindle spacing carefully before cutting and fitting to ensure compliance, particularly on staircases accessible to young children.
