Wooden stairs – Safe but no less aesthetic

Wooden staircase components not only create aesthetics but also ensure safety in your home. When designing or renovating stairs, understanding the structural components is an important factor to meet the needs of both style and function.

Treads, risers and stringers

The main components of any staircase include the treads, risers and stringers. The treads are the horizontal parts for stepping up, while the risers are the vertical parts connecting the treads. The stringers is the structural part along the two sides of the stairs. These are important factors that determine the safety of the stairs. Choosing the right materials and design not only brings stability but also helps the stairs harmonize with the living space.

Balusters and newel posts

Balusters, also known as stair balusters, are vertical bars that support the handrails. Newel posts are larger columns than balusters, located at the top, bottom or middle of the stairs, providing additional support for the handrail. Flexible design from classic to modern.

Handrails and accessories

Handrails are an important part, providing support when you move on the stairs. Handrails are often made from hardwoods such as oak, cherry or maple. This detail is indispensable, ensuring safety when moving and playing an important role in completing the style of the stairs. The diverse materials and designs of handrails meet all needs from simple to luxurious. Accessories are parts that connect different parts of the handrail, such as curves or bends, helping the handrail to be seamlessly connected, enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the stairs.

Moldings and decorate

Moldings are decorative strips of wood used to add detail to a staircase, such as the edge of a tread or around a stair post. Recessed moldings are often used under the tread to create a finished look. Other elements such as capstones (the decoration at the top of a stair post) and rosettes (the decorative part where the handrail attaches to the wall) can add a personal touch, adding sophistication and finishing touches to a staircase. They help create a dramatic living space that meets both visual and functional needs.

Wood and finish choices
