Geometrical staircase with exposed treads
This design dates from the Victorian style period.
We used African Mahogany for the treads,balusters,risers
rail and newels.
Typical are the exposed treads with the bull nose profile ending with a return into the inner stringer.
Where the risers meet the treads the joint is covered with a
scotia profile. Same is done ate the inner stringer.
Railing in this design is 60x90 mm bull nosed with a round-
over of 20 mm.
Balusters are round 38 mm and paced on each step.
Newels are 128x128 mm square at the blocks.
As seen on the photo the first bull nose step is placed under
a angle in order to create more space near the adjoining door.
The soffit is panelled with hardboard as this needs to be
skimmed.

Spiral stainless steel/wood combination
This spiral is a cost effective stainless steel staircase. The treads and the handrail are out of wood.
To avoid all welding work and cleaning up the rail-baluster connections are made with wooden inserts..
Balusters are fitted through the treads connected with a screw from thew front and bottom.
For the column we use round tubing 154x2 mm as a sleeve placed around a Pine core fitted between the treads. The sleeve is is only decorative.
Also this stair is in D.I.Y available and can be shipped anywhere in the country.

Spiral staircase Victorian style
Although Victorian in design but far less elaborate than done in the Victorian era. A bit more adapted I should say.
The treads and rail are done in stained Iroko.
Bracings and the central column are in this photo done in steel. However wood (s.a.pine) is of course also possible.
This type and actually all types of staircases are done in D.I.Y.
Prices on request.
