When choosing staircases for new builds or renovations, there’s quite a lot to take into consideration. The overall aesthetic of the interior of the house, the size of the space available and ease of use for those in the household - to name a few. ArchiPro features some great options and related products from knowledgeable and trusted suppliers inAustralia.

Straight stairs

These are by far the most common type in Australia stretching from bottom to top with no bends. Typically the simplest and most affordable option.

Quarter turn stairs

Also known as an L-shaped staircase, this style has one turn at a 90 degree angle. It is a suitable option when there isn’t enough space to go straight up.

Half turn stairs

Also known as a U-shaped or scissor staircase, this style has a full 180 degree turn from bottom to top. Another good space-saving option.

Spiral stairs

A stylish option that is usually constructed around a central column. A popular design in Australia that is durable and elegant.

Floating stairs

A go-to choice for fans of minimalism, these models give a floating appearance by concealing usual structural supports and utilising materials like glass.

The advantages of high-quality staircases

A high-quality staircase is always recommended for longevity and safety reasons. Poorly crafted options often need regular repairs or replacement and at their worst can pose a serious threat to the people using them. High-quality options follow tried and tested designs, using only the best materials like quality timber, stainless steel and wrought iron that are robust and reliable. They also tend to have better aesthetic credentials, with detailing and style to suit the modern home in Australia. By ensuring you only buy high-quality stairs, you’ll be able to use them every day for years on end with peace of mind.

How to choose a staircase that’s right for you

With the many different staircase styles that exist-it can be overwhelming trying to decide what will suit your home or new build. Different types of stairs are often made specifically for different situations. For example, floating (or cantilever stairs) are best suited to modern homes, providing them with an open, spacious feeling. While they look amazing in this context, they might not be as suitable for every type of home. If your house is more on the classical side, a more traditional staircase would probably be more appropriate-such as straight or quarter turn stairs. Materials are also worth looking at closely. You’ll want to be sure you choose something that will stand the test of time but also bring a look that will enhance the space too. Be sure to think about every part of your staircase too, like your balustrade, to ensure it works together cohesively.

What is the space between stairs called?

The empty triangular space between stairs is known as a ‘spandrel’. The vertical area between each stair tread is known as a ‘riser’. Another term known as ‘headroom’ refers to the vertical space between any step of a staircase and the ceiling or other enclosed surface above it.

What is ‘waist’ in a staircase?

Waist or waist slabs are the supporting slabs that run along the underside of a staircase from the floor slab to the landing slab. Waist slabs must be a minimum of 80mm thick.

What are ‘stringers’ in a staircase?

Stringers are the vertical support board or a structural member that runs along each side or through the centre of the staircase. Treads and risers are rooted into the stringer. It’s possible to have different stringers combined with different stair treads, providing a virtually endless combination of stair designs.

What materials can stairs be made from?

In Australia, stairs are primarily made from one of five different materials. Timber stairs are the most prevalent but others include stone, metal, R.C.C. (reinforced cement concrete) and brick. Some designer homes feature glass staircases too.
