Our house has a 50s hardboard boxed in staircase and landing balustrade, I think all there is behind the hardboard is a couple of upright spindles to keep the hardboard from flexing.
The bottom newel is 70mm and the top one is double width shared with the landing balustrade. I would like to improve the look somewhat over gloss painted hardboard.
Has anyone else done this? I think I'd need to replace the newel base if I was going to do a new baserail, handrail and spindles, and probably would have to do the landing too, which would end up being a huge project.
I was wondering if anyone else has done up a 50s staircase, and what you did.
