Oak winder stairs to the mezzanine in a holiday let

When there's a 90° turn, such as on these stairs, it's possible to either have:

• A kite winder (3 treads in turn).
• A quarter landing (1 tread in turn).

Regardless of the chosen option, the total number of treads in the staircase will be the same. As such, using a kite winder is more space-efficient.

Although it would have been possible to use a quarter landing on this staircase, you would need two steps before the turn.

Usually, when you step onto a quarter-space landing, you step down onto it.
However, a landing that's level with the first floor was required to preserve headroom for the door below in this instance.

This staircase features two feature treads:

• Tread one is a double-going curtail.
• Tread two is a single-going curtail.

These two feature treads allow the bottom post to be set back by two treads, and thus, the first post is on the inside of the kite winder, which looks better in our opinion.

This staircase features oak treads (22mm) and oak veneered risers (18mm), so it does not need to be carpeted.
Oak treads & risers enhance the look of the stairs. 
However, it should be noted that stairs without a carpet have less grip than those with a carpet.
We also offer treads and risers in other materials and thicknesses.

This staircase features solid oak risers.
Although they can arguably look better, we believe that oak veneered risers look as good and offer significant cost savings, so in scenarios like this, we'd recommend oak veneered risers.

We supplied this oak staircase to Nettlebed Farm Holiday Lets in Winchester. More information on the holiday let can be found here:
