Case Studies - Oak open back stair in barn


REF: 0854-johnson

3D Model;

Notable Features:

Exposed Back Construction:

This staircase is manufactured "exposed back", meaning the underside of the stairs can be left exposed and still look attractive. On a "Standard Construction" staircase, the underside has glue blocks and wedges and must be covered by plasterboard or similar. "Exposed Back" staircases are more expensive. However, give an exciting feature to a property.

Freestanding Stairs:

The majority of staircases have walls around the outside as a minimum. However, this staircase doesn't. As such, it requires a balustrade around both the inside and outside. Also, because it's freestanding, all the posts need to drop down to meet the floor to support the stairs.

Unusual Post Caps:

The post caps on this staircase are unusual in that they have both a groove and a pyramid cap. We usually only recommend one or the other, i.e. a groove (shadow cap) or pyramid cap.

Specification;

  • Strings - White Oak (240x40mm)
  • Treads - White Oak (22mm)

Also known as space saver or loft staircases, these are half the length of a normal staircase but can only be used in certain scenarios.

Other Layouts:

We also offer other staircase layouts, these include, paddle stairs, S-shape stairs, T-shape stairs or stairs with three or more turns. We also offer stairs suitable for commercial buildings which are wider and made from more substantial materials than domestic staircases.

Styles & Materials

Construction Methods:

All layouts of staircases can be constructed in different ways which will effect the final finish, these include:

  • Open riser construction; this is where the risers are left open with either a timber strip or metal bar built in to comply to regulations.
  • Cut string construction; where the sides of the strings are cut away so the treads can be seen, this can either be done in a modern or traditional way.

Materials:

The materials used on your staircase will have a dramatic effect on how they look, most stairs will use the following materials.

  • Pine; all our stairs are manufactured from high quality furniture grade pine, we do not use any whitewood.
  • White Oak; we can manufacture all or part(s) of your staircase from premium White Oak, to give that stunning finish.
  • Glass; we offer stairs with glass balustrade, either as small panels or large panels, secured with brackets or by embedding with a groove.
