Spiral Staircase Dorset

Stunning model 71 spiral staircase pictures from a customer in Poole, Dorset!

The model 71 spiral staircase is our most popular bespoke spiral staircase that we supply- for the simply reason it creates a stunning impression. It is also very versatile with the treads supplied in any hardwood (oak and beech being the most popular) and the riser and going custom made for each project.

This particular spiral staircase was supplied to a customer in Poole to provide access to a new basement conversion. Passage of light was the key so open risers were a must! To comply to the 100mm sphere rule we included subtle 8mm thick acrylic riser pieces to reduce the gap without affecting the light passing through. What is becoming extremely popular with the model 71 spiral staircase is to have curved acrylic or glass panels wrapping around the spiral instead of spindles. This transforms to the spiral and again maximises the passage of light.

This spiral staircase was supplied with beech tread with three non slip groves and brushed stainless steel newels and centre column . Overall diameter 1500mm diameter (ensuring a 600mm clear tread width for regulations) and a floor to floor height of 2800mm with 14 risers. Also supplied was 3m of matching landing balustrade to complete the stunning addition to the build.

If you could like more information of the model 71 spiral staircase – please get in touch. We have a showroom in Romsey (Hampshire) and you can email any plans to info@completestairsystems.co.uk or call 01794 522444 for a chat.

Spiral Staircase – Charity Shop London

Whilst trawling through the internet on our daily quest for spiral staircase news (yes we do love our job) I came across an interesting blog post from Charity Shop Girl. Her quest to find charity shop gems in London took her to ‘Fara’ in Gloucester Road SW7 where she spotted a spiral staircase we supplied -last year. She commented; ‘This Fara is so cute inside! I’m a sucker for spiral staircases, so I like popping in just for the aesthetics’ – clearly a lady with good taste!! Well thank you for the comment Charity Shop Girl and good luck hunting out those bargains.

The stair itself was a spiral staircase fully galvanised which we normally supply for external settings. Our customer wanted a rustic / industrial feel to the flight and thought the galvanising would give that effect. Although it was a smaller diameter we went with a centre column handrail to ease usage and stuck with vertical spindles around the perimeter in case children were to use the flight.

We reckon it looks pretty funky!!

We have a winner!!!

Many thanks for all the entries into our staircase photo competition. We have been blown away by the effort people have made and the standard of some of the photography.

Whilst we like to think we can spot a good photo, to make the competition fair we enlisted the support of Sandra from www.romseyfotografix.co.uk for her expert opinion. We also put it out to our facebook fans ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Complete-Stair-Systems/252044419455 to like) for their input, and the result was unanimous.

Steven from Cambridgeshire sent us a number of stunning shots of his model 71 spiral staircase with curved acrylic panels wrapping around the flight. Today he received his free IPAD2 (yes, yes I know but – the IPAD3 was launched after the entries we received) and is obviously extremely pleased.

“We are extremely pleased with the quality of design, workmanship and service we received from Complete Stair Systems. The spiral is exactly as I imagined and gives our project the wow factor we were after.”

Perhaps the next winner could be you!! First things first – let us know the sort of stunning feature staircase you require for your build. You can be our next satisfied customer!!

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.

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.

Each and every spiral staircase and staircase we supply has it’s own story and is installed in it’s own unique setting. This particular spiral staircase was supplied to a small domestic mezzanine deck in Chester. What made this particular spiral special was that it didn’t have a top platform. The top platform usually supplied as part of the spiral was actually part of the floor. We therefore had to select one of our more bespoke spirals with the centre column constructed in one piece. This centre column was then bolted directly to the edge of the floor with the top step being manufactured as a small ‘tread’ level with the floor with a steel plate underneath so that too could be bolted back against the floor joists.

The spiral staircase had 30mm oak treads to match the mezzanine flooring which were bolted to steel support arms which had been specially constructed to ensure the gap between the treads were less than 100mm. The balustrade on the stair consisted of 10mm vertical spindles topped with a stainless steel handrail. Balustrade around the mezzanine deck consisted of glass panels held in place with stainless steel baluster posts.

For a price – please contact us with a floor to floor height and diameter plus an idea of the type of treads you would like.

Shaftesbury, Wiltshire was the location of this lovely model 71 spiral staircase supplied for a refurbishment. The spiral itself was accessing a loft area and was 1.5m in diameter, fitting snugly to a partly curved wall. It had 40mm solid Oak treads, a 50mm diameter oak handrail (supplied in one piece) and brushed stainless steel spindle and centre column barrels.

The model 71 is probably our most popular domestic spiral staircase. Being custom made, the rise / going / rotation / entry and exit point / material options are all selected for the specific customer. In this particular instance we had to exit directly under the apex of the roof above to achieve maximum headroom upstairs. At the same time we had to ensure the entry to the spiral staircase was away from the curved wall whilst providing sufficient clearance for headroom from the treads spiralling above.

For prices – please let us have -

1-Your floor to floor height

2-The diameter required (generally 1400-1500mm for secondary domestic and 1800-2000mm for primary domestic)

3-The timber you would like.

The newel posts and handrail can also be in stainless steel if prefered and indeed all the steelwork can be powder coated to any RAL colour.

Please have a look at the links below for a few other examples for this system.

Supplied earlier this year, some great pictures of an external spiral staircase provided for a customer in Southampton.
Like all our larger external spirals, this one was custom made for the customer to their specific floor to floor height and requested diameter.
They also required a small balcony area at the top so we enlarged the top platform.
This particular model was made to suit a 3800mm floor to floor height which was met with 20 risers. The 1800mm diameter provided an 800mm clear tread width to comply with category B of the British standards. The top platform was 2000 x 2000mm and the deck and all the treads were constructed using our non slip perforated steel treads. All steelwork was fully galvanised.
