Case Studies - 1200mm wide domestic staircase with embedded glass panels.

REF: 27028-elite

3D Model;

Notable Features:

1200mm wide staircase (domestic property):

Although typical for a commercial staircase to be 1200mm wide. Usually, a "main staircase" is between 800mm and 900mm in a home. However, it's possible to have stairs much wider. Wide stairs feel more luxurious to walk up and make a grand statement, enhancing the look of a feature hallway. The issue with wide staircases is that they take up a lot of space a large property is required. There's also an additional cost to wide stairs, as an extra support string is required up the middle of the stairs, and the main strings need to be deeper to support this.

Embedded Glass Panels:

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 embedded into a groove. All glass panels we supply are made to measure for each staircase.

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.
