The components for this bespoke stair were fastidiously detailed in advance. The chunky solid oak treads and lighter but no less robust risers were individually fabricated and assembled on site. The stair was finished with an ultra matte laquer to maintain and protect the natural beauty of the timber. The detailing for the glass balustrade was simplicity itself. Making good use of readily availabe materials, this project in it's totality was surprisingly cost effective. We thoroughly investigate at an early stage any potential restrictions that local planning policies might present to your project.
