Pürra® Timber Stair System

Pürra® represents a next-generation approach to staircase design. Traditionally, a staircase renovation could require over 100 intricate saw cuts; Pürra® reduces this to fewer than 10, dramatically cutting down on-site time without compromising on quality or joint integrity. By choosing a modular system, you are investing in a precision-engineered solution that ensures consistent, reliable results every time.

Designed to complement the leading interior trends of 2026, from the minimalist lines of Nordic styles and Scandi style staircases to the timeless character of Shaker style staircases and Mid-Century Modern interior designs, Pürra® empowers you to be the designer.

Pürra® is one stair system with infinite possibilities. It provides: 

  • Five Spindle Designs: Choose from five distinct silhouettes to create your signature look.
  • Universal Components: A single universal cap and pre-drilled rails allow you to mix and match components with ease.
  • Custom Finishes: The high-quality pine is ready to be painted or stained. For a 2026 look, consider colour-drenching your Pürra® system in earthy moss greens, sophisticated burgundies, or a blue palette to create a grounded, cocooning atmosphere.

Pürra® is engineered for trade professionals, yet styled for the home. For the professional, Pürra® means more jobs can be completed in less time. For the homeowner, it means a durable, strength-tested system that meets all domestic regulations while serving as a beautiful architectural focal point.

Newels FAQs

Are newel posts hollow?

Our newel posts are solid laminated sections of timber which are tested for compliance with current British standards.  

How are newel posts attached?

Our complete newel posts are tested and designed to be installed traditionally, either centrally to the string of the flight and riser or half-lapped onto the landing joists/trimmer.

We also offer modular posts that can be inserted into existing posts that have been cut down to form bases. In both cases, you should refer to our fitting instructions.

How far apart should newel posts be?

The spacing between newel posts depends on the staircase design, handrail length and the system you chose, all our ranges are independently tested, and our technical team can advise on maximum centres between posts.

How many newel posts do I need?

The number of newel posts required per staircase is dependent on the design and layout. Most staircases have the following:

  • 1 starting and 1 finishing newel post, positioned at the base and top of the staircase.
  • 1 newel  post for each landing
  • 1 newel post per direction/height change, to support the transition

For very long staircases you may require additional newel posts for stability and to meet local building codes. 

How tall should newel posts be?

The length of a newel post depends on their position, the staircase design and British standards. Newel posts should be a minimum of 100/150mm above the top of the handrail for aesthetic balance. Current UK building regulations for domestic properties are 900mm stairs and 900mm landing handrail height. Newel posts overall length can vary from 1200mm to several meters depending on the configuration.

If you have a non-domestic project, please contact our technical team for support.

Should newel posts be painted or stained?

The decision to paint or stain newel posts depends on the aesthetic you are looking to achieve, the newel post material and the overall style of your staircase. Painting your newel posts can provide a modern look in a wide variety of colours, whereas staining newel posts can enhance the posts' natural beauty by highlighting the natural wood grain and texture.  

Some homeowners even decide to have a combination of both, where they stain newel posts but paint their balusters or handrails for a contrasting design look. 

What are newel posts?

Newel posts are vertical components in a staircase that support the handrail and balustrade system. They are typically positioned at the bottom, and top and when a change in height/direction on the staircase or landing occurs.
