Timber Options

Timber stairs are a great choice due to their durability, versatility, and natural beauty. Timber can be customised to fit any design preference and is built to last. Timber is also environmentally friendly and offers excellent value for money.

Listed below are some of the most common timbers that we use to manufacture our wooden staircases or components with. In addition, we can source many other commercially available timbers.

Ash

Light-yellow hardwood with medium-coarse grain that stains exceptionally well. Beginning light, it gradually develops richer, darker tones over time, working beautifully when combined with softwood elements in mixed designs.

Redwood pine

Higher grade engineered softwood with distinctive red tinge from high resin content. Slow-grown Scandinavian pine results in minimal movement ensuring density and maximum stability. Excellent for staining and painting, it features wonderfully in softwood and mixed wood stairs.
