Metal Treads with Wooden Inserts

A Rich Tradition

These staircases offer a perfect blend of industrial cast metalwork and rich timber inserts, providing a beautiful finished aesthetic.

We can manufacture the treads in a range of Grade-A timbers including oak, ash and sapele. If you want to paint the inserts then we can offer a birch faced ply. These can either be paired with handrails in matching timber or cast aluminium.

The metalwork is all cast at our own Staffordshire foundry and finished by the dedicated team at our workshop. The wooden inserts are supplied ready for your chosen finish to be applied on-site whilst the metalwork can be powder coated in the colour of your choice at our own specialist facility.

All our staircases are bespoke, and we can tailor every aspect of the piece for your project, from spindle patterns to the choice of colour. Explore some of the design options for these staircases.

Spindles & Infill Panels

FAQs

Do you offer a fitting service?

We are only able to offer a fitting service for clients in the London area. However, all our products are designed for local tradesman and DIY enthusiasts to be able to install, and because they will have been fully erected in our workshop and made to measure there is very little work to be done on site if correct dimensions have been supplied. Full fitting instructions are sent out with the staircases.

What staircase diameters do you offer?

We can manufacture staircases in a range of diameters from 970 mm to 2600 mm depending on your project requirements. The minimum diameter may depend on local Building Regulations and what the space being accessed via the staircase is used for.

Why do you use cast aluminium for your spiral stairs?

Cast aluminium is virtually indistinguishable from cast iron but provides a number of benefits. It is typically much lighter (in some cases weighing around a third of a cast iron design). This makes them much easier to install and can also reduce the structural loading in existing buildings or the size of footing needed in gardens. It is also less brittle and offers excellent corrosion resistance.

Do you have a showroom that I can visit?

Yes, we do. There is a full showroom at our workshop in Chapel-en-le-Frith. The Derbyshire showroom is open from 8 am – 4 pm Monday to Friday. We strongly encourage prospective clients to visit the showroom if they can so that they can see all the different options available and get a feel for the different diameters and quality of the product.
