Types of Staircase Constructions

Standard closed string timber staircase

Closed String Construction

Closed String Construction

Closed String Construction

 In a Closed string staircase, the treads and risers of each step are concealed, manufactured in a lower specification finish suitable for carpeting or in a hardwood suitable for a clear  finish. 

Standard cut string timber staircase

Cut String Construction

Closed String Construction

Closed String Construction

 A cut string staircase is characterized by its open design, where the supporting stringers (or side pieces) are  cut away to expose the treads and risers, creating a visually lighter and more elegant look compared to a closed string staircase 

Open riser timber staircase

Open Riser Construction

Closed String Construction

Open Riser Construction

 An open-rise staircase is one where the vertical space between each stair tread (step) is left open rather than filled with a riser (a vertical board or Bar). This creates a visual effect of floating stairs and allows light to flow through 

Different Types of Staircase Layouts

Straight

Single Winder (L Shaped)

Single Winder (L Shaped)

 A straight flight staircase is a staircase that ascends in a single, unbroken line without any turns or landings.

Double Winder

Single Winder (L Shaped)

Double Winder

 A double winder staircase is a type of staircase that makes a 180-degree turn without a landing, using two sets of winder boxes. These winder steps are triangular, allowing the staircase to change direction and navigate space efficiently.

Why We Do Not Use M.D.F

MDF Pack

We do not use M.D.F to construct any of our products as it is easily susceptible to movement caused by temperature and humidity changes.


There are many pros and cons of M.D.F, but these are the main reasons we do not use it for staircase construction:-


  •  M.D.F has a wax protective surface which if machined will reveal its fragile and vulnerable interior fibres which will compromise the materials integrity. 
  •  M.D.F is not water-resistant and can swell and warp when exposed to moisture.
  •  M.D.F does not hold screws well, especially when used to connect the tread and riser.
  •  Some M.D.F products contain formaldehyde, a volatile organic compound (VOC), which can be a health concern for some people. In production and machining this generates a lot of dust, which can be a health hazard.
  •  While M.D.F is strong for its density, it is not as strong as solid wood.
  •  M.D.F is easy to damage and will fur on edges that have been knocked.
