Very tall half turn oak staircase in a barn conversion.

This staircase is particularly high, with a floor-to-floor height of 3975mm. A floor-to-floor this high is very unusual, as such, this staircase cannot be configured using our StairDesigner.
However, that's not to say we can't manufacture tall staircases; the main problem is that you can't get posts long enough to drop to the floor, and they need to be joined.

The longest oak posts we can typically source are 4200mm. However, due to the floor-to-floor dimensions of this staircase, four of the posts needed to be over 4200mm.
As such, they needed to be joined; we do this using a feature groove so that it doesn't look odd. It's generally considered better to use a feature groove and make a feature of it than to join two pieces together, which can look strange where the grain meets.

As this staircase is "freestanding" it's necessary to have the posts to the floor for support, hence the super long posts.

Typically, any feature treads on a staircase are symmetrical unless one side is against a wall. However, on this staircase, the customer opted to have a curtail on the left-hand side and not on the right-hand side.
The customer felt this would work better due to the corridor to the right of the stairs. However, we don't recommend this.

Balustrade is the collective term for handrail, baserail and spindles; this staircase has a balustrade up both the inside and outside due to its freestanding nature, which is quite an unusual feature.

We keep two handrail profiles in stock; the most popular choice for use with glass balustrades is the "modern choice" profile.
However, the HDR profile handrail remains an ever-popular choice with its excellent looks and ergonomics.
