Frequently Asked Questions
What BH Wood products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries BH Wood stair components including solid wood stair spindles, rail parts and fittings, and complementary stair construction components. BH Wood products are manufactured to consistent dimensional standards and are available in species suited for stair applications. Stock availability varies by location.
What wood spindle profiles does BH Wood offer?
BH Wood carries stair spindles in traditional turned profiles, craftsman square profiles, and combination styles with turned centres and square ends. The profile should coordinate with the newel post and handrail design of the overall staircase. Windsor Plywood staff can help match BH Wood spindle profiles to existing stair components.
What stair rail products does BH Wood carry?
BH Wood stair rail products include both dado and non-dado rail profiles. Dado rails have a machined groove along the bottom that receives spindle tops for automatic spacing and alignment during installation. Non-dado rails require individual spindle fitting and offer more flexibility for custom layouts.
How do I calculate how many spindles I need from BH Wood?
Start with a general estimate of two spindles per tread for standard 9 to 11 inch tread depths. The final count depends on spindle thickness and the required maximum 4-inch spacing between spindles under the National Building Code of Canada. Measure the total railing run, divide by the planned on-centre spacing, and add for posts at each end.
Can BH Wood stair components be mixed with other brands?
Yes. BH Wood stair components are designed to work within standard stair construction dimensions and can be paired with newel posts, handrails, and treads from other manufacturers provided the dimensions and profiles are compatible. Bring measurements and ideally a profile sample to your Windsor Plywood location when selecting components to ensure a good fit.
