I need to replace some old circular wooden bosses that the handrail for the stairs are attached to, but i'm having trouble finding anywhere that sells them.
I've tried a multitude of searches along the lines of "handrail wood boss" but drawn a bit of a blank :-}
Are they known as something else perchance ?
Look for newel caps.
Google using 'staircase parts' as keywords
Tried those too - could only see square newel caps :-}
try B&Q
/ acorn etc - it's for fixing to a wall, and then for a handrail bracket to screw on to, per my original post :-}
is "Patrice" is the word you where looking for??
The correct term is 'pattress'
:-)
not on tradestairs.com its not??? ;-) which is where I got it from, and acording to the web A pattress is the container for the space behind electrical fittings such as power outlet sockets and light switches. aint English confusing
One minor problem, we're already getting someone to make them now :-}
Indeed One definition. You'll also find the term used for plates for fixing things to walls.
