Case Studies - White Oak Staircase with Chamfered components & gallery landing area.
REF: 23524-mcneill
3D Model;
Notable Features:
Quarter Landings:
When a staircase has a turn(s), you can either use landing(s) or winder(s). This staircase features two-quarter space landings. The advantage of a landing is that it's considered easier to walk up. However, landings take up more space than a winder box because a winder box has three treads in the same area as a quarter landing with only one tread.
Chamfered Spindles and Posts:
Although square stair components have become more popular, chamfered parts look fantastic in the right property. This staircase features a gallery landing area of chamfered posts and 41mm oak spindles.
Carpeted Stairs:
Supplied to a property in Scotland, these stairs feature a Tartan carpet. If the stairs are carpeted, using MDF and Plywood for the treads and risers makes sense because this saves money. The first tread is a curtail feature tread and is exposed. As such, we supplied the first tread and riser in oak.

Popular Staircase Layouts
Straight Staircases:
Straight staircases have no turns in them.
Quarter Turn Staircases:
These have a single turn, turning left or right, which can be either a landing or kite winder.
Half Turn Staircases:
These have two turns, left or right. Using kite winders, landings or a half landing.
For straight stairs, quarter turn stairs (single turn) or half turn staircases (two turns), these can be ordered on our website and are available for fast delivery.
Paddle Staircases:
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.
