Can I install Richard Burbidge stairparts myself?
Richard Burbidge stairparts are designed with the installer in mind, with step-by-step fitting instructions, our Elements®, Immix® and Fusion® collections can all be fitted by any competent DIY-er.
We recommend that only professionals install our Trademark, Classic and Heritage collections.
Our technical team are always on hand to talk you through installation, get in touch with our technical team on technical@richardburbidge.co.uk. Download our fitting instructions here.
Do I need to acclimatise my Richard Burbidge wood products before installation?
Yes we recommend acclimatising Richard Burbidge products before fitting to ensure your installation runs smoothly.
For stairparts and mouldings we recommend that you store the products in a room with the same or similar humidity to the room they will be installed in for at least 48 hours. This allows the timber time to become accustomed to the temperature, preventing any expansion or shrinkage issues in the future.
For decking accessories we recommend storing away from heavy rainfall and direct sunlight to prolong the life of the products. Stack the decking on bearers away with a waterproof cover to protect them, this will ensure air is able to easily circulate.
What finishing products can I use?
Stairparts products must be finished after installation, to seal the pores, protect the surface and give the final touches for the best appearance. Some finishes we recommend are wood stains, crackle glaze, marbling, graining, dragging, wax brush, distressed, rag rolling, speckle, sponging, lime wash, or plain painted.
Successful finishing will depend on the correct preparation of the surface, filling of nail holes, and sanding to remove marks which will have occurred during installation.
Our Fusion® collection offers a finished oak and finished pine, and our Immix® collection also offers a finished white oak, with no varnishing or finishing required, your installation time will be cut in half.
