Hardwood Stair Timber

Specialists in customised timber stair components  for your next DIY renovation.

At Garde Timber, we supply a range of native and imported durable hardwood stair components to suit any budget for the DIY, trade or commercial application for both internal and external weather exposed application.

Stair treads are also available for single spine fabricated metal stringers or galvanized steel stringers which are pre-fabricated. These are supplied docked to length and finished sanded for installation, polishing, oiling or painting on site.

As Garde timber is a timber merchant, we only supply the separate raw material components and do not make up the staircase or house out the Stringers. We do not offer polishing of components

Stair components available in Solids timber and Laminated sections whereby laminated is now becoming more popular due to lack of large end section availability in Australian hardwood species.

    BCA Requirements

    Handrails and balustrades for all buildings are required to comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The BCA specifies that a continuous balustrade or handrail must be provided along:

    The side of any roof to which public access is provided.
    Any stairway, ramp, floor, corridor, hallway, balcony, veranda, mezzanine, access bridge or the like.
    Along the side of any path of access to a building, if it is not bounded by a wall and more than one metre above the surface beneath.

    The height of a balustrade or other barrier must not be less than one metre above the floor of any access path, balcony, landing or the like and not be less than 865 mm above the nosings of the stair treads or the floor of a ramp.

    Openings in balustrades (including decorative balustrades) or other barriers must be constructed so that they do not allow a 125 mm sphere to pass through. Floors more than four metres above the surface beneath, any horizontal elements within the balustrade or other barrier between 150 mm and 760 mm above the floor must not facilitate climbing.

    STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES

    Several structural properties must be considered in the design and construction of handrails and balusters.

    POSTS/NEWELL POST SIZES

    Posts and newel posts shall have a minimum stress grade of F5. Where they only support handrails, the minimum size of posts and newel posts should be 80 x 80 mm (maximum post spacing 3600 mm and height of 2700 mm). Refer to AS1684 to determine the size for posts that support additional loads such as roof or flooring.

    INFILL/BALUSTERS SIZES

    The minimum size of infill/balusters should be:

    • Hardwood: 19 x 19 mm or 21 mm diameter
    • Softwood: 19 x 42 mm, 32 x 32 mm or 25 mm diameter
