Buy a modular staircase online

Buying a modular staircase from an online shop means ordering a kit staircase. Staircases from a modular range sit between made-to-measure and standard staircases. The modular staircase is a combination of an adjustable height and a fixed staircase width. Its structure consists of a central steel stringer and treads in solid or glued laminated wood. The included accessories are the handrail and balustrade. The style of modular staircases is design-led and light. Most modular products have treads without risers.

The Woodup modular staircase: a specific solution

Unlike a traditional straight staircase, the modular staircase meets demanding architectural constraints. To help you avoid any mistakes, take stock of your own requirements. Our experts recommend the modular staircase in three configurations.

When you want to optimise space

Do you need to free up floor space? Is the room where the stairwell is located compact, cramped or an unusual shape? The compact modular staircase allows for better circulation on the floor. During assembly, tread-by-tread adjustment makes integration straightforward.

To access a mezzanine or a secondary space

In practice, modular staircases are often chosen for spaces such as mezzanines or secondary storage areas. The precise height adjustment and choice of configuration offer ideal installation flexibility.

In professional settings for offices, storerooms or workshops

In the field, our advisors find that professionals often choose modular staircases. They allow for quick installation, comfortable use and a controlled budget. The metal structure supports the load and regular use.

Choose your modular kit staircase carefully

The modular staircase is a space-saving staircase that is more comfortable than a traditional space-saving staircase. For installation in a corner of a room or a small stairwell opening, ordering a modular kit staircase is the solution. However, to choose it correctly, do check the floor height carefully. Be vigilant about the floor area for the fixing base (especially if underfloor heating is present). When installing in a stairwell, observe a minimum headroom clearance.

Choose a width suited to circulation

The wider the treads, the greater the comfort of use. However, to ensure sufficient space saving, balance this requirement with the floor space needed for circulation. Allow 90 to 120 cm clearance to ensure smooth passage around the staircase.

Define the configuration according to the interior architecture

Modular staircases come as straight, quarter turn and double quarter turn staircases. Choose the type of staircase based on the design but also according to the interior layout. The articulated metal structure makes it easy to incorporate a turn where needed.

Determine the headroom clearance and footprint

The headroom clearance is one of the main standards to observe when fitting staircases. It corresponds to 190 cm between the ceiling and the tread directly below the stairwell opening. Factor this parameter in alongside the staircase footprint (floor space).

Consider the materials and aesthetics

Our staircases consist of a metal structure (articulated central stringer) and wooden treads. These two materials complement a contemporary interior perfectly. By adjusting the tones, you guide your choice towards an industrial, Scandinavian or modern aesthetic.

When the construction, the room or the house demands a particular architecture, the modular staircase is the solution. Through its mix of materials (metal, wood, glass), the modular staircase is also an aesthetic choice that suits a contemporary interior. Discover the main characteristics of the modular staircase below.

Modular staircase: beam-based structure

The tools required to install a modular staircase in a room are minimal. And for good reason — all modular staircase models have a structure based on steel beams. A tread is fixed at its centre to a beam. Each beam has a cylindrical metal upright. The male-female assembly system between the beams gives the staircase its modularity and robustness.

Height adjustment of the modular staircase

Modular staircases adapt to all types of construction. You choose the number of treads (10 to 16 treads) according to the desired comfort. The staircase is then adjusted tread by tread. Some models offer adjustable tread going (tread depth), to improve the comfort of the staircase.

Tread strength of modular staircases

Going upstairs with a load in your arms in complete safety is possible with the modular staircase. The treads, firmly secured to the structural beams, are made of solid or glued laminated wood. Their thickness is greater than the thickness of treads on a straight staircase or a spiral staircase. Woodup modular staircases offer, for example, treads 40 mm thick in beech.

Give your interior a wood and metal modular design staircase at a great price! The choice of number of treads (from 10 to 16 treads) makes it easy to fit. The modular staircase has an articulated structure that gives you the choice of turn direction (right or left). The choice of steel structure colour (grey, black or white) allows you to match the staircase finish to your interior.

The Woodup modular staircase: the straight model

Buy your easy-to-assemble straight staircase by choosing a straight modular staircase! Available in two widths (70 and 83 cm), the straight modular staircase allows you to make assembly adjustments if the angles of the construction are not entirely regular. Depending on the staircase model, the handrail features metal rails or tubes.

Quarter turn right or left modular staircases

Order a modular staircase quarter turn right or quarter turn left on Woodup! The quarter turn can be positioned at any level of the staircase – you decide at the time of installation. Is the stairwell small or do you lack space? Opt for the double quarter turn modular staircase!

Need space: choose the compact staircase!

Choose the Woodup compact modular staircase! Including handrail and vertical metal tubes, the staircase provides access to a floor at 276 cm. Available in black, white or grey (steel structure), this clever staircase features offset beech treads. Delivered as a kit and easy to assemble, the staircase is available in a width of 54 cm (without the handrail).

Installation tips for your future staircase

The installation of a compact staircase requires particular care. The fixing of the central stringer to the floor must be very robust. Check all fastenings (treads and handrail) and protect the wood before first use.

Organise the assembly step by step

The installation of the Woodup modular interior staircase is straightforward. Start by laying out all the parts on the floor (tread supports, treads, handrail, accessories). Then proceed step by step, taking care to check measurements twice before drilling.

Ensure secure fixing to the floor and upper level

The staircase installation must ensure safe use. Make sure the fixing of the central stringer to the floor is very robust. Do the same for the fixing of the top tread to the upper floor. Tighten the bolts on the handrail and balusters firmly, without over-tightening.

Check the balance and apply the finish

Once the staircase is fixed, go up and down. The aim: to check that the staircase ensures stability and balance for users. Then, apply a protective/finishing product to the treads. You have the choice: hard oil, wood varnish, staircase floor finish.

What is the difference between a modular staircase and an adjustable staircase?

None — it is one and the same staircase range. The terms modular or adjustable refer to the concept of space saving and a central metal structure. It guarantees installation flexibility and makes integration straightforward.

How high can the modular staircase reach?

The standard modular staircase can reach a height of 396 cm. It has 16 treads. This dimension is measured floor to finished floor. Adjustment of the tread height is possible. For heights exceeding this, do not hesitate to contact our experts.

Can a modular staircase be installed on underfloor heating?

Yes, provided you know exactly where the underfloor heating pipes run. Fitting the staircase requires drilling holes. The use of a pipe detector is recommended to avoid accidentally piercing any conduits embedded in the screed.

Do you need to be a skilled DIYer to install a Woodup modular staircase?

The Woodup modular staircase comes as a kit. It is designed to make assembly straightforward. That said, for greater comfort and safety, do not hesitate to ask someone else to help you. This will make the fixing and assembly much easier.

What are your delivery times for a modular staircase?

We do everything we can to ensure fast home delivery. Allow ten days for a standard modular staircase in stock. For a made-to-measure model, the lead time is six to eight weeks. Plan the installation according to these timescales.
