I’m currently replacing all my stair parts. I’ve replaced the newel post at the bottom of the stairs and I’m currently in the process of replacing the newel post on the half landing.
I’ve measured 900mm from the pitch line to get the height of my hand rail from the bottom newel which will sit at 40mm from the top of the newel bit when I transfer the same measurement to the newel on the half landing it has the hand rail sitting approx 200mm from the top of the newel.
My question is, although this is acceptable under building regs does it look right?
Is the solution to make the newel on the half landing shorter rather than full height?
Many thanks
