Advantages of Immix stairs

Attractive

Immix timber components - handrails, baserails and newels - are made from white oak. This high quality hardwood has an attractive light colouring, with no knots and a beautiful grain that will look good in any setting.

You can use an Immix stair balustrade to add character to a modern home, or give a contemporary twist to a period property.

For the balustrade infill you have a choice between matching oak spindles and 8mm thick toughened glass panels - or a combination of the two. 

 
             
  Which to choose? Oak balusters have a timeless appeal, are able to complement both modern and traditional decor and will last for many years. Glass panels, on the other hand, won't block out light so are ideal for creating a feeling of space, making a room appear bigger and brighter.      
             
 

Straightforward to install

Designed for flexibility and speedy installation, the Immix collection can be fitted within 48 hours in many cases and is suitable for both trade professionals and skilled DIY enthusiasts. The system is designed for use on closed string stairs with a pitch of between 40° and 43°. 

The spindles, also known as balusters, are fitted using specially designed brackets that are all but invisible once installed, resulting in a seamless look. 

The 200mm wide glass panels are ideal for increasing the flow of natural light, and slot into pre-cut grooves in the handrail and baserail.

To find out how many panels you might need, take a look at our handy Stair Balustrade Calculator which can be used with straight flights of stairs. Based on your measurements, it will work out the number of panels required along the banister to comply with UK building regulations. These state that a 100mm sphere must not be able to pass through any gap on the staircase, to prevent falls. This applies to the landing banister rail as well. The system is versatile enough to allow you to mix and match infill materials to achieve the right length, so you can combine glass panels with wooden balusters if necessary (or if you simply prefer the look). Custom-made glass panels are another option.

Pre-finished components

All the timber stair parts are supplied pre-finished in transparent varnish to save you time and effort, speeding up installation. 

The handrails and baserails are already slotted to accept the glass panels and wooden spindles. You only have to cut the handrail, baserail and newels to length to suit your particular staircase. A matching wall-mounted handrail is also available.

Every Richard Burbidge Immix staircase component has been rigorously designed and tested to support typical day-to-day loadings of up to 0.36kN/m, complying fully with UK building regulations.

 
             
             
 

Easy-fit handrails

The Immix system gives you a choice of continuous over-the-post or post-to-post handrail styles. Either option looks great and will add that extra sparkle to your home.

Unique gun-metal connectors are designed to join all stairparts together quickly and easily, saving time and effort, and with no need for any wood-jointing skills.

The connectors also provide a stylish finishing touch and help to conceal any imperfections created when sawing the handrails and newel posts to size.
