Types of Staircase Constructions
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.
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 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.
Single Winder (L Shaped)
Single Winder (L Shaped)
Single Winder (L Shaped)
L-shaped stairs, where the landings are replaced with triangular shaped treads that allow the staircase to turn without the need for a flat landing.
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.
U Shaped
Single Winder (L Shaped)
Double Winder
A U-shaped staircase consists of two straight flights of stairs that turn 180 degrees, creating a "U" shape when viewed from above.
Why We Do Not Use M.D.F
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 fibers 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.
