Case Studies - Oak staircase with 115x115mm square posts.
REF: 52905-jrf
3D Model:
Notable Features:
115x115mm square posts:
The majority of stairs we manufacture have 90x90mm posts.
However, we also offer 115x115mm posts. 115mm posts are better suited to situations where a bigger post is appropriate, such as larger hallways.
However, sometimes it's just customer preference to have more prominent posts.
We also offer a full range of post caps for 115mm posts. This staircase features oak flat caps suitable for 115mm posts.
Glass On Clamps:
We offer glass panels either:
– on clamps (with a choice of style and finish)
– embedded into a groove within the handrail & baserail.
The glass on this staircase is secured with mirrored, D-shaped clamps.
Quarter Landing:
A quarter turn can be a flat landing (quarter landing) or a kite winder.
This staircase features a quarter landing, which is generally considered more aesthetically pleasing, especially seen from the bottom of the stairs.
However, the disadvantage of a quarter landing compared to a kite winder is that they take up more space.
Oak Single Going Curtail Feature Tread:
A feature tread to the bottom of a staircase adds an interesting detail. This staircase features a traditional (round) "single going curtail", which protrudes past the width of the stairs by 175mm (on the left-hand side).
Single-going curtail treads are excellent if you have space for them.
However, if you don't, you can also opt for a different feature tread (such as a bullnose) that doesn't protrude past the width of the stair.

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.
