Tailormade staircase

 

A staircase is a key element of your home’s architectural design, as well as a reflection of your personal style and taste. We offer beautifully crafted tailormade staircase from the wood material you choose: oak, rustic oak, beech, or rustic beech. Your tailor-made staircase is based on your hallway and how it best can be adapted to the space you have. That gives 15 possible staircase formats and shapes below.

 

At SOGEM we value every detail of the staircase from balustrade to the very last tread. Your staircase will be built using sustainably European sourced timber from FSC® certified forestry.

CHOOSE YOUR HANDRAIL BANISTER

Pairing your open rise stair with a banister with steel tubes enhances the sleek, modern aesthetic to your stair space, whilst choosing a wooden banister creates a traditional, homely feel. Handrail banister can be placed both right or left side. It is also an option to choose a staircase without banister.


CHOOSE YOUR LANDING BANISTER

Beautiful landing banister matching wood type and banister of the staircase are available which allows the stairs to perfectly fit in both modern and traditional home styling.

Get to know your stair

High comfort stairs

A comfortable staircase is a combination of deep treads (going > 19 cm) and a low tread rise. The tread rise is typically 17-21 cm. Width: 80 cm or more.

Space saving stair

A space saving staircase is developed with a steeper pitch to occupy minimal space. Often a tread rises between 18-25 cm and a going below 18 cm.

Floor-to-floor height

The distance between your floor below and the floor above. This measurement should be made in your home where the staircase will be installed.

Number of treads

The number of treads on a staircase depends on the floor-to-floor height in your home. Our stairs are with several numbers of treads to fit the needs.

Width of staircase

The stair width is the complete width of the staircase including tread, strings and potential banister. A high comfort staircase is 80-100 cm

Going

The going of the treads is measured as the horizontal distance between two treads’ leading edges. It defines the foot room when walking down the stair. A comfortable going is above 19 cm.

Tread rise

The rise is measured as the height between two treads. A comfortable rise is 17-21 cm.

Total going of staircase

The total going defines how much space the stair will occupy in your room. It is the horizontal distance from the outer edge of the first to the wall.


FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR STAIRCASE? 

We make stairs that are tailormade for your home – what we call made to measure staircases. We also develop stairs with standard dimensions that can be customized to fit your home - stairs in kit we call them. You can install them yourselves; they are easy to mount because of our instruction guides and movies. Our comfortable staircases are staircases like DUBAI, BIAX, AUVERGNE, BRETAGNE, KALEA, GOMERA, EUREKA and SYDNEY. In wood we offer: PROVENCE, SAVOIE and JURA.    
 

STRAIGHT FLIGHT STAIRCASE

A staircase can simply run straight up and down without turning. This is called a straight flight staircase. The disadvantage of a straight flight model is that it often needs be quite long and occupies larger horizontal space in the room (total going) to be able to reach all the way to next floor. But it is the simplest staircase, easiest to build and the cheapest solution. It can be bought as a kit including everything needed for installation. If your room is limited in space, a staircase with either quarter turn or half-turn, can be the better solution for you. 

WINDER STAIRCASE 

A quarter turn staircase (90-degree turn) is a great solution if your room is not big enough for a straight flight model. It is a staircase with a little more elegance. The cut treads of the winder part are shaped to fit the 1/4 turn. The winder section may be challenging for young children and people with walking difficulties. The staircase can instead be built with an external handrail banister dedicated to the 1/4 turn part of the staircase. 
 

DOUBLE WINDER STAIRCASE

The half-turn staircase is often chosen as the space saving and minimalist solution. A half turn stair is turning 180 degrees. It allows you to build a staircase that takes up minimal horizontal space. The winders (cut treads) can be a bit more difficult to walk for children. 
 


THE COMFORTABLE STAIRCASE

A staircase should be comfortable to walk on. It is crucial that the treads have the right depth and a comfortable height. You define the going as being the horizontal distance between two treads’ leading edges - and the rise is the height between two treads. When the relationship between the two measurements is perfect, the stairs become comfortable to walk on. 1 x going plus 2 x rise should be approximately 63 cm. However, the rise should never exceed 21 cm, while the going should be 21 cm. In this section we only have high comfort staircases but if you are looking for smaller and more value for money staircases please have a look at our section with space saving stairs.
 

Going

The going of treads is measured as the horizontal distance between two treads’ leading edges. It defines the foot room walking down the stair. A comfortable going is > 21 cm.

Rise height

The rise is measured as the height between two treads. A comfortable rise is 17-19 cm.

Width of staircase

The stair width is the complete width of the staircase including tread, strings and potential banister. A high comfortable staircase is 80-100 cm
