READ BEFORE FIXING
A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION HAS BEEN PUT INTO MANUFACTURING THIS STAIRCASE TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY. PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE IT. IF THE STAIRCASE IS TO BE STORED ON SITE PROTECT THE OUTER STRING AND STORE UNDER COVER TO PREVENT DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MATERIALS DELIVERED SANDED ARE COATED WITHIN 3 DAYS OF DELIVERY TO MINIMISE ‘GRAIN RAISE’.
ALL COMPONENT PARTS ARE IDENTIFIED WITH LETTERS OR NUMBERS. STAIRCASES, NEWELS, BALUSTRADES AND WINDERS ARE ALL MARKED WITH HOUSE TYPE AND PLOT NUMBERS.
DO NOT FIX COMPONENTS WITH DIFFERING PLOT NUMBERS.
ALL PROTECTIVE PACKAGING IS DESIGNED TO BE RE-USED, TO PROTECT THE FINISH, ONCE THE COMPONENT HAS BEEN FITTED.
STAIRCASE: check handing before fixing. Top newels should be cut out to suit the depth of trimmer and back of the top riser (see fig. 1). Stringers should be ‘birds mouthed’ to sit over the trimmer. Any packers behind the top riser must cover the full width and depth of the trimmer and be securely fixed. Ensure stringers and newels are securely fixed to adjacent walls and trimmers.
NEWEL POSTS: are pre-drilled for bolts and dowels, and identified on the outside of the package and also by a card on the end of the newel.
Where applicable, carefully remove cardboard box and re-use to protect the newel once fitted.
Where applicable the newel position on the staircase can be determined by comparing the newel letter with identical letter on the string tenons.
Dowels are located in the mortise slot on the newel post.
Ensure dowels are correct length before glueing and driving into position, 9mm. below surface of newel post.
Where applicable floor lines on newel posts are indicated by small saw cuts. The manufactured dimension for the storey height of the staircase is written, in green, on the underside of the staircase.
Compare this with the actual finished storey height and determine where to cut the newels to sit on the sub or finished floor or where applicable lower storey post.
Apply glue to the mushroom buttons provided and cover the end of the dowel.
WINDERS: Where applicable, are dry fitted in our factory, and component parts are marked with identification numbers to assist in re-assembly.
Winder tread and winder riser sets are packaged together and marked with the appropriate plot number.
All winder treads are square and must fit tightly and squarely into the housings.
Start fixing the winder by cutting the bottom and winder newels to the correct lengths (see below).
‘Plumb up’ the newels and always ensure they are plumb throughout assembly.
When fixing winder treads ensure the nosings ‘sight through’ parallel onto the back of the treads above and below.
We recommend a good gap filling glue (No Nails or similar) be applied to the stringer tread trenchings above the winder treads, also, the riser trenchings infront of the winder riser prior to wedging.
A bead of glue should also be applied to the back edge of the winder treads prior to SCREWING the risers to the treads, with the screws provided, (pilot hole first). All winders should be adequately supported.
Wedges and glue blocks are supplied and must be fixed with a suitable moisture resistant adhesive.
The winder should be securely fixed to supporting walls.
HALF NEWELS, MID LANDING NEWELS: are pre-drilled to take the circular face of the bronzed handrail bracket.
Ensure the bracket is square and fix with the screws provided.
Cut/notch the newel to the correct height ensuring that the bracket fits snugly into the handrail groove when placed on top of the balustrade frame.
Screw bracket to handrail, cut balustrade frame to length, notch core rail over handrail bracket and slide into position, (see fig. 2).
BALUSTRADES: are delivered fully assembled with all fixings supplied attached to the balustrade.
Where applicable, carefully remove packaging by cutting polythene wrapper under base rail and retain wrapper.
Remove cardboard from handrail and retain.
Remove and retain screws securing handrail to corerail cut handrail and balustrade rails neatly between newel posts, fix string capping to string. Position handrail on top of balustrade core rail, mark handrail for pilot holes (6mm.) by tapping fixing bolts through pre-drilled holes in newel post whilst holding the handrail in the correct position on the newel post, (see fig. 3). Tighten bolt with allen key, taking care not to overtighten.
Fix the core rail to the underside of the handrail with the retained screws. Apply clear silicone to the mushroom buttons provided and cover the bolt hole.
LANDING RETURN BALUSTRADES: Neatly cut the handrail to the required length; if required, mitre the balustrade frame.
Fix and protect as above.
REPLACE PACKAGING TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
PRE-FINISHED STAIRCASES: have the outer string protected with low tack plastic and cardboard. Do not remove this protection.
Carefully fold back sufficient cardboard to fit the newels onto the tenons.
BEADING and COVER MOULDS: where applicable should be fitted as the detail on the reverse of this sheet.
DO NOT FIX COMPONENTS WITH DIFFERING PLOT NUMBERS.
