Painted stair with oak touch points

When specifying and buying a staircase, there are many material options available.
Often, customers opt for the entire staircase in oak or to paint the whole staircase.
However, a mix of materials, such as in the case of this staircase, can look quite effective and is much more cost-effective than having the entire stair in oak.
We do not generally recommend painting the "touch points", i.e. handrail caps & treads, as the paint can easily chip and look unsightly.

This staircase is perfect as it has oak handrail and caps!

This staircase features two feature treads:

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

These two feature treads allow the bottom post to be set back by two treads (approx 500mm), making the hallway feel bigger and giving the staircase a grander appearance.

As this staircase only has two treads before the turn, having feature treads means that first flight can be balustrade free.

A turn can be either a quarter landing or a kite winder.
Quarter landings are more pleasant to walk up but take up more space.
With a kite winder, you get three treads within roughly the same space as a quarter landing, which is one tread.
As there's ample space, this staircase features a quarter landing.

We can provide stairs with some components pre-primed.
Primed components aren’t significantly more expensive and will save you extensive time when finishing the stairs, should you be painting it.
Primed components will still need a top coat of emulsion of a colour of your choice.
