Affordable Staircase Ideas and Designs

Re-modelling of a landmark historic building into light-filled apartments. The design opened up the space to celebrate the character of the historic building, added external terraces and significantly improved the energy performance using natural materials and innovative technology.

Band-sawn wide plank floor, smoked and finished in a dark white hard wax oil. The rift-sawn effect is really sutble, it is almost invisible from a distance. Cheville also supplied a matching plank and nosing used to clad the staircase. The 260mm wide planks accentuate the length and breath of the room space. Each plank is hand finished in a hard wax oil. All the blocks are engineered, bevel edged, tongue and grooved on all 4 sides Compatible with under floor heating

The wall side have been cladded with wall panelling to follow the curvature of the staircase and handrail. the panelling os made out of mdf and painted. The treads are 25mm oak with american style return nosing. The handrail is omega profile 59 x 59mm in aok , continuous and finishes under a classic volute. The strings are pine and the spindles are victorian style in pine. Under the stairs we created storage space by adding a coat cupboard with two doors. this coat cupboard have a second compartment at the back for storing boxes of shoes, as it is as deep as the staircase which 1m wide, the coat cupboard only needs 600mm. We also added three very deep and large drawers for shoes and clothes, this pen fully and are very spacious and useful. The staircase is finished with a gallery at the top with continuous handrail

Dijon Limestones are one of the most versatile limestones. It is extremely popular in traditional properties with its aged, tumbled appearance. The neutral greys and beiges make this stone very simple to blend in with most colour schemes and styles.
