Staircase Manufacturers
The impact of a staircase on the internal design of a house is huge. It is generally the first thing guests see coming into your home but get it wrong and it can ruin the entire flow of a house. We will help you get it right so it can be a fabulous focal point within your home.
All our staircases are handmade in our workshop. Your bespoke staircase will be manufactured to fit your space, style and budget as discussed with you. You can have natural bare timber treads and risers or these can be made from MDF ready for carpeting. Choose timber spindles or glass and clips for a more modern look. All come with the beads and trims for the finishing touch. These are often omitted by other companies.
If you feel that your existing staircase is structurally sound and that all it needs is a new look, we can help with that too. We remove the non-structural features like the bannister, newel posts etc. These can be replaced with newer and more attractive materials. We can also replace the carpeted treads with wooden treads that are hard wearing and long-lasting.
We will always come out and take measurements, so if we only supply the stairs, they will fit exactly and will conform to all current building regulations.
Fitting by our time-served craftsmen can be added, if required. Please ask for a quote.
Staircase Styles - A brief explanation
Straight stairs are as the name implies, a straight run of treads and risers which form the steps and connects two levels in a building. They may also include handrails with spindles or a glass balustrade. Straight staircases can be fitted between walls or with open sides which have balustrades fitted on either side.
Kite Winder stairs are stairs with a straight flight but also have steps which make a turn to change the direction of the staircase. More than one set of “kites” can be added to change the direction more than once. The name “kite” comes from the shape of the step which is formed to make the turn.
Quarter and half landing stairs are similar to the kite winder stairs but where the kites are used for the turn, instead a single large step or “landing” is fitted to change the direction. Again, more than one landing can be added to the staircase. A landing can also be added to a straight set of stairs to give a resting place or feature.
Floating or cantilevered stairs are stairs which are attached to the wall on one side only, usually with steels to support the treads and the steels are then concealed with timber to create stair treads, which gives the illusion they are floating unsupported. They are easiest to install when planned into a new build or renovation rather than a small remodel project, as the steel supports should be planned into the building works and the supporting wall can be constructed accordingly.
