Case Studies - White Oak Staircase with 200mm wide glass panels.


REF: 13941-blashill

3D Model;

Notable Features:

Outside Part Open:

The outside of this staircase is part open, which means that, on the left section, where you'd normally have a wall, it's open, resulting in additional balustrade & posts.

Curtail Feature Tread:

This staircase has a feature tread which is a single curtail, it's double-sided due to there been no wall on the left side, a feature tread pushes the post back, to create the feeling of more space. The feature tread on this staircase is also manufactured from oak, whereas the rest of the treads & risers are MDF & plywood, this is something we offer and can look effective.

200mm Wide Glass Panels:

Normally with glass panels, we supply them in large sections to suit each section of the stairs, however with this staircase, the customer opted for a fixed-width panel, which means that the panels are a constant width (200mm in this case), but the gaps between the panels vary on each run, as opposed to the gaps staying the same and the panels varying in width on each run.

Specification;

  • Strings - White Oak (220x38mm)
  • Treads - MDF (22mm)
  • Risers - Plywood (9mm)

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.
