Why should I hire a staircase designer or builder?

They may look like a simple set of steps, but staircases can actually be quite complex to construct and so staircase refurbishment should be left to the professionals. Even seemingly simple fixes, such as replacing stair spindles, can be tricky if you’re not familiar with banister structures – banister installers or staircase manufacturers will be able to carefully replicate and replace any old stair spindles efficiently for you.

But what if you don’t even want stair spindles for your banister? Maybe you don’t even want a banister at all but instead want a floating staircase or just a handrail on the side of the wall? With staircase designers and manufacturers, the sky’s the limit and there are all sorts of staircase designs to choose from. If you want the ultimate modern look, glass staircases with matching glass balustrades or balconies will be clean and sleek, while cast iron spiral staircases will evoke a vintage edge to your room, and straight, wooden staircases with traditional newel posts are classic pieces in every house. The type of staircase you choose may depend on space and practicality, but if you have the scope to take your pick, there are a number of different staircase shapes – straight and spiral, naturally, but then also quarter and half landing, and winder and double winder staircases. Speaking to staircase manufacturers and the staircase designers themselves will help you decide on the style and materials you want to use, and they may be able to come up with a unique stair design that will become a design element all of its own.

You can add bespoke and personal touches to your staircases, too. Specialist staircase carpenters, balustrade designers and banister installers can create one-of-a-kind handrails and railings for your stairs, balcony or landing, or you could choose a striking paint design or beautiful stair runner to bring your stairs to life.

Stair renovation can be a big project and it is always important to make sure your stairs are safely installed and safe to use, so talk to any prospective staircase manufacturers about when you should have your stairs put in and how they will be installing them. You might want to have your contractor, builder or architect collaborate with your staircase designer or installer to make sure everything goes smoothly.
