Oak and Glass Staircase Renvoation

The Hurford family home was beautiful to start even before First Step Designs entered with this staircase design idea, but after all the renovation works that were complete, the old staircase had to compliment the new interior. Staircase renovation transformations are one of a kind here at First Step Designs.

Replacing a staircase can be a very intrusive process on certain projects, but with a staircase renovation, you can achieve the same finish without the hard work. With this in mind, we designed met the family for a consultation to discuss finishes, details and the final components to create this wonderful staircase.

We chose to renovate the entire staircase with European White Oak to finish like a brand new solid oak staircase. All newel posts are removed completely and replaced with solid oak posts with a stop chamfer detail, and a custom machined newel cap as opposed to the everyday external caps that are fitted afterwards. A huge range of handrails are available to choose from to compliment your toughened glass balustrade, our sample kit will allow you to make the right decision. The Hurford family chose our contemporary pattern for comfort and a sleek thin finish.

Finally, we clad the strings (sides of the staircase) with an oak veneer throughout, so once a carpet is relaid the staircase is complete with the appearance of a brand new staircase.
