Pine & Oak Newel Cladding Kits
Your staircase newel posts are the focal point of your stairs, and upgrading them makes a huge difference to your home. Richard Burbidge newel cladding kits (also known as newel post cover kits or sleeves) are available in oak and pine, giving you the flexibility to choose a finish that suits your interior.
Oak newel cladding / post covers offer a timeless, premium look that can be stained, varnished, or painted.
Pine newel cladding / sleeves provide a lighter, versatile option that’s easy to paint or treat, ideal for both modern and traditional styles.

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.
