We've taken a timeless classic and given it a contemporary twist. With a subtle nod to tradition, the 'Carbon' staircase blends the past and future through a striking contrast of materials. It’s the perfect harmony of traditional design and modern aesthetic.

■ Style details

Concealed fixings and the absence of visible welds create a seamless, refined appearance throughout the staircase. With no newel posts required, visual bulk is reduced, allowing the form to remain light and uninterrupted. This construction makes the design particularly well suited to layouts incorporating winders.

The Carbon staircase is defined by 10mm mild steel stringers, delivering clean, crisp lines and a strong architectural presence. It is best paired with 32mm thick hardwood treads, creating a balanced contrast between precision steelwork and the warmth of solid timber.

FAQs

  • What are the regulations for the space between treads on open risers?

    Legally, the gap between treads must not exceed 100mm. And the good news is that any of our styles can have open treads!

  • How does the stair fit to the floor?

    All our stringers feature a precision engineered foot plate for a secure connection. We recommend either fixing the staircase directly to the structural slab, or shuttering out a space where the staircase will connect and installing or pouring a concrete pad for it to sit on. The foot plate is designed with countersunk holes for heavy duty concrete screws, along with through-holes for chemical anchors where required. This dual fixing approach ensures a secure, rigid connection to the floor slab.

  • What style staircase can have open treads?

    All of our styles can feature open treads, creating a visually light and elegant look. Open risers work best when there’s an open space or architectural feature behind, allowing light to flow and enhancing the sense of space. If there’s just a wall behind, the effect can feel heavy or dark — in this case, a closed tread design might be better and could also provide the opportunity for clever under-stair storage.

  • How are the spindles seamlessly attached to the Carbon Stringer?

    We weld studs directly to the tread plate. The base of each spindle is then carefully drilled and tapped, allowing it to secure cleanly onto the stud through discreet through holes in the plate. The result is a seamless, minimalist finish.

  • What tread thickness options are available?

    Tread thickness varies depending on the staircase design: Closed, Zig-Zag, or Sawtooth Stringers – Standard tread thickness is 32mm. However, if you prefer a flush finish with rebated tread tabs, we can provide a 40mm option. Central Spine Staircases – Our oak treads for this design have a substantial 112mm thickness, offering a bold and striking look. If you have specific design preferences, our team can discuss custom options to achieve the perfect aesthetic and structural balance.
