We change the fences of the Stairs.

Did you have to change the interior of the room, house or apartment. I think once in a life with it everyone faced. And if you repaint the door or change the wallpaper, there is no big problem, then changing the fence of the staircase is a specific matter.

There are two options here - the replacement of a completely wooden staircase guard or you can change the top part, that is, directly the railing. For example, you have an old staircase with square balusters, a wooden railing of rectangular shape. Cut the tops of balusters, and throw out unnecessary parts. The sawn part of the baluster can be replaced with stainless steel tubes or cheaper ones made of ferrous metal. Pre-colored for color, let's say your door. Next, we drill holes in the columns (balusters) along the diameter of the tubes, I recommend a tube of 25th diameter. We apply glue - an epoxy resin and connect wood and metal. It is advisable to wrap the parts with adhesive tape before gluing together in order to avoid contamination. So the first stage is passed, we go further.

We order in a joiner's workshop a round-rail handrail - 50 mm diameter. It is desirable from solid wood - beech, oak, ash. We measure the distances between the centers of the racks and transfer these distances to the handrail. Drill holes, as well as early in the balusters under the tube. Lubricate the holes with glue and connect. Since the epoxy will flow out it is better to use special adhesives suitable for wood and metal, for example jowatt. In simple stores it can not be found, only in specialized ones. It is more expensive than epoxy resin but it is more convenient to use and it requires a gun for silicone or "liquid nails". Do not want to search, use the old method. We take epoxy and add aluminum powder, the glue thickens. To glue the fence of the staircase you need now quickly - quickly, otherwise the glue will harden faster than you will have time to complete the installation. At the end of the work you will receive a wooden handle of circular cross-section. The combination of wood and stainless steel looks elegant and modern. Perfectly fits into the interior design.

Council at last - do the installation of the fence with a partner, and to see everything described above visually go to the Blog on the stairs and see photos on the topic.

Good luck with work.
