Buy a modular staircase online

Buying a modular staircase from an online shop means ordering a flat-pack staircase. Staircases from a modular range sit between bespoke staircases and standard staircases. The modular staircase is a combination of an adjustable height and a fixed staircase width. Its frame consists of a central steel stringer and solid or laminated wood steps. The included accessories are the handrail and the balustrade. The style of modular staircases is designer and light. Most modular products have steps without risers.

The Woodup modular staircase: a specific solution

Unlike the traditional straight staircase, the modular staircase meets demanding architectural constraints. To 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 better circulation on the floor. During assembly, step-by-step adjustment makes integration easier.

To access a mezzanine or an ancillary space

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

In a professional setting for an office, storeroom or workshop

In the field, our advisers find that professionals often choose modular staircases. They offer quick installation, ease of use and a controlled budget. The metal frame supports the load and regular use.

Choose your modular flat-pack 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 or a small stairwell, ordering a modular flat-pack staircase is the solution. However, to choose it correctly, make sure you check the floor-to-ceiling height carefully. Pay close attention to the floor area for the fixing base (especially if underfloor heating). When fitting in a stairwell, respect a minimum headroom height.

Choose a width suited to circulation

The wider the steps, 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 of clearance to ensure smooth movement around the staircase.

Define the configuration according to the interior architecture

Modular staircases are available as a straight staircase, a quarter-turn staircase and a double quarter-turn staircase. Choose the type of staircase based on the design as well as according to the interior layout. The articulated metal frame makes it easy to incorporate a turn where needed.

Determine the headroom and footprint

The headroom is one of the main standards to respect when installing a staircase. It corresponds to 190 cm between the ceiling and the step directly below the stairwell opening. Consider this parameter alongside the staircase footprint (floor space required).

Consider the materials and aesthetics

Our staircases consist of a metal frame (articulated central stringer) and wooden steps. These two materials combine perfectly with a contemporary interior. By adjusting the shades, you steer your choice towards an industrial, Scandinavian or modern aesthetic.

Characteristics of the modular staircase

When the building, room or house demands a particular architectural layout, the modular staircase is a solution. Thanks to 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. This is because all modular staircase models have a frame based on steel beams. A step 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.

Adjusting the height of the modular staircase

Modular staircases adapt to all types of construction. You choose the number of steps (10 to 16 steps) based on the desired comfort. The staircase is then adjusted step by step. Some models offer the option of adjusting the tread depth (step depth) to improve staircase comfort.

Step resistance on modular staircases

Going upstairs carrying a load in your arms safely is possible with the modular staircase. The steps, firmly fixed to the structural beams, are made of solid or laminated wood. Their thickness is greater than the thickness of steps on a straight staircase or a spiral staircase. Woodup modular staircases feature, for example, steps with a thickness of 40 mm in beech.

Give your interior a designer wood and metal modular staircase at a great price! The choice of number of steps (from 10 to 16 steps) makes it easy to fit. The modular staircase has an articulated frame that gives you the choice of turn direction (right or left).

The Woodup modular staircase: the straight model

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

Modular quarter-turn staircases, right or left

Order a modular staircase with a right quarter turn or left quarter turn 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? Go for the modular double quarter turn staircase!

Need space: choose the compact staircase!

Choose the Woodup compact modular staircase! Handrail and vertical metal tubes included, the staircase allows you to reach a floor at 276 cm. Available in black, white or grey (steel frame), this clever staircase features offset beech steps. Supplied as a kit and easy to assemble, the staircase is available in a width of 54 cm (without the handrail).

Installation advice 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 (steps and handrail) and protect the wood before first use.

Organise the assembly step by step

Installing the Woodup modular interior staircase is straightforward. Start by laying out all the parts on the floor (step supports, steps, handrail, accessories). Then proceed step by step, taking care to measure twice before making any holes.

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 step to the upper floor. Tighten the bolts on the handrail and balusters firmly, without forcing.

Check the balance and apply the finish

Once the staircase is fixed, go up and down it. The aim: to verify that the staircase ensures stability and balance for users. Then, apply a protective/finishing product to the steps. You have the choice: hard oil, wood varnish, or staircase lacquer.

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

None — it is one and the same staircase range. The term modular refers to the concept of space saving and a central metal frame. It guarantees installation flexibility and makes integration easier.

How high can the modular staircase reach?

The standard modular staircase can reach a height of 396 cm. It has 16 steps. This dimension is measured from finished floor to finished floor. Adjusting the step height is possible. For greater heights, do not hesitate to contact our experts.

Can a modular staircase be installed on underfloor heating?

Yes, provided you know precisely where the underfloor heating pipes run. Installing the staircase requires drilling holes. Using a pipe detector is recommended to avoid accidentally drilling through 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 to help you. This will make the fixing and assembly process much easier.
