Some stunning pictures of a timber spiral staircase supplied to a customer in Farnham just arrived.  The trusty ‘model 71 timber spiral staircase’ looking fantastic in the corner of a room, providing access to a mezz deck.  It this case the treads and handrail were supplied in beech stained black creating a great effect against the blue back wall.

A solid beech ‘WF staircase’ supplied to a customer in East Grinstead in West Sussex.  A tight opening in the first floor required a small half turn flight twisting to the right upon assent.   The beauty of the WF staircase is the lack of internal stringer and open risers giving a very open feel to the flight.  Although this customer didnt go for this, we can also remove the stringer from the external side of the first four treads and the final flight (leaving only a wall stringer) creating a real floating feel.

This staircase can be supplied as a straight flight, quarter turn and can be made to suit a much larger opening.  It is manufacturer in any hardwood with oak extremely popular at the moment.  Stunning options include curved internal handrails, special L shaped tread/riser profiles and a white wall stringer to further emphasise the floating feel.

Have a look at the links below for further examples of the WF staircase – in all its glory.

We supplied a staircase to a property featured as the cover story in the September edition of Homebuilding & Renovating magazine.  The property was truly stunning, an oak frame build with a stunning mix of traditional beams and contemporary features within.  Not least (as you would expect us the say) the staircase!

In keeping with the oak structure and the visual beams on display we went for oak treads supported by simple, clean white painted steel stringers.  The stair had glass riser fitted between each tread which along with the glass balustrade created a open and light feel to the flight.  It was positioned in front of the main entrance door and had to create an immediate impression when entering the property.  We certainly believe it does!

You can view further details on this property on the link below.

At Complete Stair Systems we offer a complete range of stairs for your home.  From the ultra modern bespoke model to an off the shelf kit we will have a product to suit.  We offer an economical range of fully bespoke external spiral staircase suitable for both domestic and commercial usage.  Fully functional models, made to measure – whether it is providing a fire escape to an office block or a quick access route to the upper floor of an annex – which is the purpose of this particular spiral.

Supplied direct to the customer, this model provided a means of escape to the upper level of a newly created annex.  With a much smaller footprint than a conventional staircase, this snug little spiral fitted perfected in place and didn’t encroach too much into the garden area.  Being a bespoke model we were able to increase the size of the upper platform slightly to push to centre column and spiral a little further away from the building to keep a storage space underneath.

For all these stairs full AUTOCAD drawings are prepared and submitted for approval before manufacture.  This spiral was 1200mm diameter and consisted of non slip perforated steel treads with 10mm diameter vertical steel spindles.  It was supplied fully galvanised for protection against the elements.

Within this range we can also powder coat each spiral after galvanising to any colour you wish.  We can also incorporate a much larger platform creating a balcony area for those long summer nights!!

You can see other examples of this type of stair on the links below.

For prices – please let us know the height and the diameter you would like.

Hope the Christmas shopping is going well!!

Have finally worked though the enquiries from the Grand Designs show but have been neglecting the blog posts.  Here we go then –

   

This long standing customer of ours based in Shaftesbury, Wilts, was building a new property which required a new feature staircase. The requirement was for simple clean lines, a modern and open feel  and of course it had to fall within the allocated budget .

Our traditional structure stair was selected in beech parquet timber, with open risers and polished stainless steel spindles.  Our Traditional structure certainly doesn’t mean traditional style as you can see in the pictures – it refers to the way the stair is supported, with two stringers either side.

Beech parquet is a very popular choice at present.  With this option the timber is still solid beech but each block is made up of smaller pieces giving a more pronounced stripe effect.   It is about 15% cheaper than solid beech and is often requested to match a parquet floor.

Our ‘traditional’ structure stairs are available in a variety of configurations, designs and materials. Remember – traditional structure but modern design.  Combining solid timber with open and light balustrade options.

Have a look at our sister website  – www.timberstairsystems.co.uk for more examples or click on the links below.

Returned Sunday night from the Grand Designs show at the NEC.  Great show with over 50000 people visiting in the three days.  Really good response on the stand where we had displays of the Model 500 staircase and the WF modern timber staircase.  

  

  

From when the ribbon was cut by Kevin McCloud on Friday morning we were inundated with questions and enquiries about our range of staircases. Little bit tired now being our 12 day working but really worth it!!  We shifted around 1400 brochures on the stand and are now going through the wad of enquiry forms that were filled in.  We plan to get any requested sales packs & disks out by the end of the week with all quotes being done by Friday 22nd.  Wish us luck!!!

Some pictures of our stunning model 76 spiral staircase supplied to a customer in our home town of Romsey.

This model has solid Acrylic treads with a brushed stainless steel central column and  along with the curved acrylic panels gives the spiral and room a really light and open feel. 

To ensure the spiral met building regulations we included small riser bars which ran horizontally between the treads so the gap we not more than 100mm. 

The model 76 spiral staircase can be supplied in laminated glass or acrylic treads with balustrade consisiting of vertical spindles, horizontal stainless steel bars or indeed the curved acrylic panels you see on this model.

To work out a price all we need is the diameter of the spiral and the floor to floor height.  Plus an indication of the type of balustrade you would prefer and the treads you would like.

You can see further examples of the model 76 spiral staircase below.
