Spiral Staircase and Staircase News

3rd December 2011

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.

Hope the Christmas shopping is going well!!

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!!!

We have added together an assortment of Model 71 Spiral Staircase pictures and turned them into a video.  The Model 71 Spiral Staircase is without doubt the most popular spiral stair we supply.  We get so many pictures through from customers we thought we would share a few of them with you on youtube.  This is something we are looking to do with many of our staircase ranges so keep an eye out for more video uploads.

You can view some of these featured models using the links below.

A big thank you to all customers who recently sent us pictures of the staircases we supplied.  As promised your case of wine is on route!!

We ran this promotion as we don’t get to see / picture all the stairs we supply.

Given how closely we work with our customers and the effort we put in with the ongoing development of the design we are absolutely thrilled to see pictures of the finished article.

We have been featured in the latest issue of the Selfbuilder and Homemaker magazine (p59-61).  The article entitled ‘Dont forget the staircase’ was written by Managing Director Nick Rackham and highlights the point that staircases are often overlooked in the early design stage of a build. 

The staircase is very often the first item on show when entering a property creating the perfect opportunity to create a stunning impression.  As the staircase is installed and the end of a build with all other works complete, we are often approached by customers who have a very small opening in the floor, sometimes not large enough to  get a compliant staircase in place. 

So our advice is not to neglect the staircase and get a staircase company on board very early on to advise on the size of opening and the entry and exit points.

In additional to the geometry of the flight you have the materials and style of the staircase to consider.  Open risers, glass balustrade and hardwood treads are very popular at the moment and we offer a good range of these in a variety of configurations.

Of course – why not send your plans to us!!  Please email cad / pdf files to us at info@completestairsystems.co.uk

Some really stunning pictures of a WF timber staircase supplied to a customer near us in Ringwood.

Our customer sent in the pictures and he has really captured the floating feel the staircase has given the refurbishment.

The WF timber staircase has no internal / exposed stringer – only one on the wall side so the entire flight appears to float in mid air.

In this instance the wall stringer was supplied ‘cover painted white’ to further emphasise the floating feel.

This model was supply in a quarter turn with a stunning swooping curved handrail at the 90 degree turn.  If you look closely at the pictures you will see a small platform at floor level which was required to ensure the wall stringer missed the doorway below whilst maintaining sufficient headroom.

This model was supplied with beech parquet treads and handrail which the customer oiled himself to match the surrounding timber of the doors and windows.    I am sure you agree the result is truly spectacular!!!!

As usual – please let us know the height, configuration and timber you would like.

Further examples of this model can be seen on the links below.

Some pictures of our ever popular Model 71 spiral staircase.  On this occasion supplied to a customer in Aberdeen with the pictures supplied last week.  This particular model had solid Oak treads with modern brushed stainless steel newels, spindles and centre column.  The handrail was also in Oak and supplied in one piece and looked stunning!

The location of this spiral staircase was directly in the hallway of the property so a thoroughfare had to be maintained.   This meant we had to ensure the entry and exit point were in the appropriate positions so to give a clear passageway and to make sure there was sufficient clear headroom below treads 10 and 11.
