There are a variety of parts that go in to making up a staircase, including staircase spindles, newel posts, newel caps, a handrail and a baserail. The baserail acts as the holds the core structure of the staircase and is the supporting feature of the staircase spindles and the newel posts which stand vertically. Newel posts stand at the start and end of the staircase, as well as all intermediary turns; the main purpose of the newel posts is providing support to the handrail. Between the newel posts are the staircase spindles, which run the entire length of the staircase and primarily perform as a safety feature – preventing falls between the handrail and baserail. Staircase spindles can also provide a decorative element to your staircase with their well crafted designs and they also provide extra support to the handrail itself. The final element of the staircase, and probably the best known part, is the handrail. The handrail is a support and safety feature, helping people climb up and down the stairs with that extra bit of support. At either end of the staircase, the newel posts are topped with newel caps, which are largely there for decorative purposes – although can be very handy for hanging up coats and scarves!
