Check out our stairs! How good do they look!!??
I popped down to Wellington to check them out yesterday while they were assembled in the Stylecraft Stairways factory. They always do this to ensure they’re perfect, before sending them off to be coated and delivered to site.
Unfortunately Kylie couldn’t make it, but I was able to FaceTime her as I walked up and down them. Honestly we couldn’t be happier. The Stylecraft team have done an amazing job. They are stunning and we can’t wait for them to be in our house.
Which isn’t too far away. The treads will get coated, the steel stringer will be painted and the glass balustrade made, then they’ll get shipped up to Auckland next week.
Stylecraft make all kinds of stairs for projects right across New Zealand. While I was there I couldn’t help but take a bunch of photos in the factory as the guys went about their craft.
Wow these look really great, what timber are you using for the treads?
Hey Amanda – yeah they’re amazing! It’s American Ash – these photos show it raw, still needs to protective coating on it, the clear one actually turns it quite a yellow colour so we’ve added a white wash to it to keep it as close to this raw colour as possible.
Hi, very impressive staircase. Any chance you can tell me who made the treads?
Thanks Paul. The whole staircase was designed, made and installed by a company called Stylecraft Stairways in Wellington – http://www.stylecraftstairs.co.nz
it is look very good! what wood is it made?
Thanks, American Oak. Cheers
It is very similar to the ash that grows here in Ukraine! Beautiful wood texture, I really like it. By the way, there is an example, we did something similar to this. https://doorwood.ua/derevyannaya-lestnicza-harkov-massiv-yasenya/
Very nice stairs! It looks so minimal. How deep was the steel stringer? Seems large.
Thanks Vy, some more photos here of them installed in our house – http://www.ourdreamhome.co.nz/uncategorized/love-thy-stairs/
Great staircase which we be the ‘model’ of our new one! .. but how and where did you make the ‘safe’ balustrade at one or both sides of the stairs?
Thanks Hans, the wall acts as a balustrade on one side, then on the open side it is a glass balustrade, all to NZ code. Good luck!
Thanks Ben: it’s clear. We will have on one side a kind of open bookcase-construction, and on the other side probably not a glass balustrade but one of rvs steel balusters and steel cables. Just have to study how and where to fix them [on or under the wooden stairs]. How and where did you fix the glass balustrade .. do you have pictures (maybe).
Hey Hans, sure thing, you can see a lot of photos of the finished stairs here – the balustrade is fixed straight to the edge of the tread. http://www.ourdreamhome.co.nz/uncategorized/love-thy-stairs/
