The balustrade is made up from glass infill panels which also continues around the opening along the landing level.

Bespoke timber staircase

Derrick — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:43:23 +0000

Some pictures just in showing a stunning half turn timber staircase installed earlier this year. The second matching model down to the basement is being installed next week.

This model has oak treads and white painted stringers to both sides. The internal stringer is curved at the turn to create an impressive swopp effect.

Modern timber staircase

Custom Made Oak staircase

This stunning stair is based on our traditional structure. Traditional by name but not by nature as you can see the modern twist using traditional materials. We call it the traditional structure as the stair is supported by ‘conventional’ stringers to each side.

To view other stairs in the same ‘traditional’ structure by in different designs / materials please have a look here -

Earlier this year we secured the contract to supply a large bespoke spiral staircase as part of a church hall renovation near Winchester in Hampshire. It was to become a new domestic dwelling with a large spiral stair rising from the modern kitchen to the upper level.

We now have some pictures -

SPIRAL STAIRCASE

Derrick — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:38:23 +0000

Model 71 Spiral Staircase

Pictures here of our bespoke spiral staircase called the model 71.

This model was installed last month in Preston. It has beech treads and a stainless steel centre column, handrail, newel posts and spindles. The customer also purchased some matching landing balustrade across their opening at first floor level. This particular model was designed to be the main stair in the house so was manufactured with a 1900mm diameter to get the required 800mm clear tread width.

This model is also available with oak / ash / birch treads and can also be manufactured with a timber handrail.

Have a look at the full product details - http://www.completestairsystems.co.uk/Model_71.html

For a price, simply contact the office with a floor to floor height, diameter and the type of timber treads you would like.

Derrick — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:40:14 +0000

Hello!!

Some more WF pictures just received for our portfolio on a CD sent by our customer. This time from the town of Battle in East Sussex.

This WF is in beech in a quarter turn configuration. You can see how the open nature of the model (no stringer on exposed side and open risers) gives the entire hallway in this house a light, airy feel.
