The staircase is a simple straight run of solid oak treads and risers fixed to a wall on one side. This was to then have a handrail/under stair cupboard built from timber framing clad with fumed oak floorboards as used in the living room. The staircase was produced by Stairbox, an online supplier, who after the second attempt delivered a 200kg stair to site which needed fitting in to place. It was then a matter of lifting the stair in to place and fixing to the first floor deck and also bolt in to the framing in the wall. The stair treads and risers were then finished with Osmo oil Raw finish , which prevents the oak from turning the normal orange colour over time.
