Recessed Panel Box Newel, Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA box newel is the primary anchor post in a stair balustrade, carrying the handrail at the bottom of a flight, at landings and at turns. Unlike a turned newel machined from a solid blank, a box newel is built up as a hollow four-sided post, which keeps the weight down on a large-section post and allows it to be sleeved over a framing member or fastened down to the floor and stringer with a newel anchor or lag hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is made up in oak with recessed flat panels worked into the faces, a traditional profile that suits Craftsman, Colonial and transitional stair work. The square section gives a flat, full-width surface for handrail and fitting attachment, and the top is left to be finished with a separate newel cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak is the standard species for site-finished stair parts: it is hard enough to take the abuse a newel gets at the foot of a stair, and the open grain takes stain and clear finish predictably so the post can be matched to treads, rail and flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOak construction, ready for stain or clear finish to match adjoining stair parts and flooring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed panel detail on the faces for a traditional built-up newel appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollow box construction, lighter than a solid post of the same section and able to be sleeved over a structural member\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare section presents flat faces for handrail, fitting and rosette attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop left open for a separate newel cap, allowing cap style to be chosen to suit the balustrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalled with newel anchor hardware, lag bolts or a framed-in mounting block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting newel at the bottom step of a stair flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanding and intermediate turn newels in a continuous balustrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalcony and overlook railing posts on upper floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional and Craftsman-style stair remodels using site-finished oak parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminating post for volute, goosene or straight handrail runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Box newel post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recessed panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-1\/2 in. square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfinished, ready to stain or paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-1\/2\" x 55\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ARCH Building Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55048732082515,"sku":"O4191R","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/5-1-2-in-x-55-in-recessed-panel-box-newel-oak-o4191r.webp?v=1790259857","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/products\/5-1-2-in-x-55-in-recessed-panel-box-newel-oak-o4191r","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
