closed string

This Staircase is Closed String in construction and provides a great example of the type of work you can expect to see when building with OzStair. This staircase was constructed using 280x32mm Pine Stringers with 280x32mm Treads and 190×19 Risers. The balustrade consists of N1 – Square 90mm Newel with 12mm SS1 – Plain Stainless Steel Balusters linked with an S1 Moulded Handrail.

When designing a staircase on a budget, it’s important to know that the two sections of a staircase that wear the most are the treads and handrail. All other components of the staircase once installed will get minimal contact from an owner. With this in mind the staircase was constructed using hardwood for both the tread and handrail components to ensure its long life in a busy home. All other components are installed using DG Pine. A cost effective softwood perfect for a paint finish.

This staircase utilizes a grey ironbark treads and handrails with carpet lining the staircase on the lowest flight. The client required a staircase that would span the 3 levels within their home. After our client had initially stated his love of the timber scheme we got to thinking can we have the best of both worlds?

This classic staircase was constructed using the Closed Riser, Closed string construction method. The client had requested a classic staircase but was not sure of the options available, after discussing with OzStair the current design ideas we set about designing their staircase.
