WOULD YOU LIKE A FINISHING TOUCH?
Our custom-made staircases are crafted exclusively from oak or beech, two wood species renowned for their strength and elegance. We offer several finishes to enhance the wood: natural or white tinted oil, or natural-colored varnish. The stringers can be painted black or white, ensuring perfect harmony with your interior.
CHOOSE YOUR HANDRAIL BANISTER
Pairing your open rise stair with a banister with steel tubes enhances the sleek, modern aesthetic to your stair space, whilst choosing a wooden banister creates a traditional, homely feel. Handrail banister can be placed both right or left side. It is also an option to choose a staircase without banister.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR STAIRCASE?Â
We make stairs that are tailormade for your home – what we call made to measure staircases. We also develop stairs with standard dimensions that can be customized to fit your home - stairs in kit we call them. You can install them yourselves; they are easy to mount because of our instruction guides and movies. Our comfortable staircases are staircases like DUBAI, BIAX, AUVERGNE, BRETAGNE, KALEA, GOMERA, EUREKA and SYDNEY. In wood we offer: PROVENCE, SAVOIE and JURA.
A staircase can simply run straight up and down without turning. This is called a straight flight staircase. The disadvantage of a straight flight model is that it often needs be quite long and occupies larger horizontal space in the room (total going) to be able to reach all the way to next floor. But it is the simplest staircase, easiest to build and the cheapest solution. It can be bought as a kit including everything needed for installation. If your room is limited in space, a staircase with either quarter turn or half-turn, can be the better solution for you.
A quarter turn staircase (90-degree turn) is a great solution if your room is not big enough for a straight flight model. It is a staircase with a little more elegance. The cut treads of the winder part are shaped to fit the 1/4 turn. The winder section may be challenging for young children and people with walking difficulties. The staircase can instead be built with an external handrail banister dedicated to the 1/4 turn part of the staircase.
The half-turn staircase is often chosen as the space saving and minimalist solution. A half turn stair is turning 180 degrees. It allows you to build a staircase that takes up minimal horizontal space. The winders (cut treads) can be a bit more difficult to walk for children.
A staircase should be comfortable to walk on. It is crucial that the treads have the right depth and a comfortable height. You define the going as being the horizontal distance between two treads’ leading edges - and the rise is the height between two treads. When the relationship between the two measurements is perfect, the stairs become comfortable to walk on. 1 x going plus 2 x rise should be approximately 63 cm. However, the rise should never exceed 21 cm, while the going should be 21 cm. In this section we only have high comfort staircases but if you are looking for smaller and more value for money staircases please have a look at our section with space savig stairs.
