Model 500 Staircase

The Model 500 staircase is a contemporary design featuring steel stringers and timber treads. It is an open flight intended to be the centerpiece in a room or hallway and is fully custom-made to the required height. Many choose frameless glass panels for the sides of the staircase, enhancing its transparent qualities. The steel stringers, which run along either side of the staircase, are available as flat plates or with a zig-zag effect on the top or both the top and bottom, offering a sleek appearance. Due to the strength of steel, the stringers are only 10mm thick, providing more usable tread space compared to conventional stairs.

The treads can be made from any hardwood, with oak, beech, and walnut being popular choices. The balustrade generally consists of glass panels, either fixed between stainless steel newels or bolted directly to the side of the steel stringer. The steelwork is typically powder-coated to a RAL colour or supplied in brushed stainless steel. Treads are often treated with a matte lacquer finish in the factory or sometimes oiled, depending on client preference.

This is a bespoke product, and each project is carefully designed before manufacture. The height, shape, going, and width of each flight are unique, making it a modern staircase. The design focuses on modern and light styles, with many models featuring open risers and minimalist materials to enhance transparency. Below is a breakdown and a full gallery showcasing the product in action. There is also a form available for quick inquiries.

Configurations

The stair is made to measure so can be produced to a number of different configurations. It is the floor to floor height and the available stairwell size that will determine the correct shape of staircase.

Quarter Turn with Winders

Quarter Turn with Platform

Half Turn with Winders

Half Turn with Platform

Tread Options

The model 500 staircase has 50mm timber treads. These span the entire width of the flight so need to be constructed in hardwood for strength. These treads are formed from horizontal laminated blocks of solid timber to prevent movement and increase rigidity. They are supplied with a natural lacquer varnish finish or oiled in the factory. They can also be supplied ‘RAW’ for finishing by others.

Stringer Shapes

There are three standard stringer shapes for this staircase and there is no cost difference between them. These are normally powder coated to a RAL colour or supplied in stainless steel.

There are a number of handrail options to compliment the staircase. These are often slotted over a glass panel or supplied wall mounted.

Balustrade Infill Options

Whilst the frameless glass option remains the favourite there are several other forms of balustrade on the model 500 staircase. Matching balustrade can be supplied around the stairwell opening for safety.

Riser Infill Options

To conform to regulations in the UK, the gap between the steps must be no larger than 100mm. This is to prevent small children falling through the back of the step. Below are the riser infill options – the majority of which maintain a gap to enhance the passage of light.
