Frequently Asked Questions
What are round mouldings used for?
Round mouldings are used for handrails, closet rods, craft projects, tool handles, furniture components, and any application requiring a cylindrical wood profile. They come in a range of diameters to suit different load and grip requirements.
What diameter round moulding is standard for a handrail?
A graspable handrail for residential stairs should be between 1.25 inches and 2 inches in diameter under most Canadian building codes. The grip should allow a full hand wrap. A round profile between 1.5 and 1.75 inches is comfortable for most adults. Confirm your local code requirements before installing.
What wood species are available in round mouldings?
Pine and poplar are the most common because they are easy to work with and readily available. Hardwood rounds in maple or oak provide more strength and wear resistance for applications like handrails or heavy-use closet rods. Windsor Plywood carries a range of species and diameters.
What is the difference between a dowel and a round moulding?
In practice, the terms overlap significantly. Dowels are typically smaller-diameter cylinders used for joinery and fastening, inserted into drilled holes to align and reinforce joints. Round mouldings span a broader diameter range and are used for exposed applications like rails and rods. At Windsor Plywood, both are available in standard lengths.
How do I cut round moulding cleanly without it rolling or splitting?
Use a V-block jig or clamp the round between two flat surfaces to prevent rolling on the saw table. A fine-tooth mitre saw blade produces clean cuts. For longer ripping cuts along the length, secure the round in a jig or use a lathe. Avoid excessive pressure that can split the grain at the cut end.
