A double quarter-turn staircase has a U-shaped structure. This staircase provides access to a floor with a small stairwell. The double quarter-turn staircase consists of two parallel opposing flights of steps. They are connected by a flight of balanced steps or a landing at the intermediate level. The exit of the staircase at the landing is opposite the entrance at ground level.

Double quarter-turn staircases are just as varied as straight staircases. Most staircases are made of wood and complement any type of interior decoration. Choose the contemporary double quarter-turn staircase if your interior is of a design style. You will enjoy contemplating a model with a central metal stringer and solid or laminated wood treads. Buy a finishing kit to give your staircase the ideal shade.
Does your staircase serve a floor of bedrooms? Choose a solid pine staircase and apply additional protection with a finishing product. Opt for a double quarter-turn staircase in beech or oak if it serves a heavily used floor. Check that the treads have a minimum width of 80 cm. Choose the wood-metal double quarter-turn staircase without risers for a loft mezzanine.
The models offered on our website are entirely designed by our experts. They embody a perfect balance between practicality and elegance. Compact, stable, and safe, they offer a level of comfort praised by our customers. Discover their three main advantages.
The shape of the staircase ensures comfortable ascent and descent. Its two parallel flights of steps reduce the gradient and lessen fatigue. It is the ideal staircase for regular and/or intensive use. Even with a model featuring two flights of steps where the 180° angle consists of balanced steps, the width of the treads is reassuring.
In a context of significant space constraints, these staircases are often the best choice. They fit into small stairwells, whilst visually enlarging the room. Their U-shape, with or without an intermediate landing, makes use of corners and dead space. Furthermore, it limits the floor footprint and offers storage space under the staircase.
Woodup models come in many appearances and styles. Albula, Goules, Roques, our all-wood staircases offer a traditional and elegant design. More contemporary, the Pelletière model, with a central metal stringer and wooden treads, adds an industrial touch and contrast to your interior.
The double quarter-turn staircase takes up less space than a straight staircase. It is a staircase that saves space whilst providing exceptional user comfort. Opt for this staircase model if you have a square stairwell and find the spiral staircase too narrow. Discover below the characteristics of this type of staircase.
Each staircase model offers an option without risers. Consider this option if you need more light. For greater safety with young children, opt instead for the double quarter-turn staircase with risers.
Double quarter-turn staircases are suitable for all types of stairwells, whether square or rectangular. The minimum size for this type of staircase is often 160 x 160 cm. The U-shaped staircase generally consists of two angles (one 90° angle followed by another 90° angle with a flight of balanced steps in between).
This type of staircase allows comfort standards to be met in a limited space (Blondel's law: going, tread depth and width). The presence of a rectangular U-shaped structure provides safety of movement, reinforced by the presence of a handrail and balustrade.
A staircase is a piece of furniture that is difficult to manufacture. To ensure the safety of users, it must be made according to best practice. Woodup has successfully combined adherence to best practices, easy assembly, model durability and minimal maintenance.
All our staircases are designed and manufactured to be installed by non-professionals. A homeowner with intermediate DIY skills can carry out the installation. All elements guarantee assembly without any modifications on your part. Our models have undergone a battery of tests before going on sale. They comply with current standards.
Before assembling the staircase, we advise you to check that all elements are present. To do so, lay them flat on the ground and carry out a precise inventory. If any part is missing, contact us before starting assembly. Also ensure that your measurements (stairwell dimensions and height) match the staircase dimensions.
Used daily or occasionally, a staircase is subject to several types of wear. These are linked to foot traffic, humidity, load, impacts and exposure to light. How do you protect it? Ensure regular dusting, and avoid aggressive household products. Protect the wood before first use (varnish, oil or hardener).
To help you, Woodup offers three main types of double quarter-turn staircases:

FAQ - Your questions about double quarter-turn staircases
Buying a staircase online is easier than in a specialist shop. You can take all the time you need and chat with our advisers. Still unsure? That is perfectly normal. To move your project forward, consult the answers to the most common questions.
What is the difference between a quarter-turn and a double quarter-turn?
A quarter-turn staircase changes direction only once, at 90° to the left or to the right. A double quarter-turn makes two consecutive 90° angles. Its advantage: it allows entry and exit from the same side. This specific profile saves you space.
Is it possible to assemble the staircase alone?
Our staircases come in kit form. They are designed to be assembled by intermediate DIY enthusiasts. Although installation can be carried out solo, it is preferable to have some help. An extra person makes it easier to fix the stringers to the upper floor.
Which wood species do you recommend for a modern interior?
A modern interior pairs well with a light-coloured wood species. We recommend pine or beech. Please note that pine is more suited to a secondary staircase. For a main staircase, beech is preferable. It is a species suited to intensive use.
Why is this type of staircase preferable to the spiral model?
Like the spiral model, this type of staircase fits into a square or rectangular stairwell. However, with this staircase, you can more easily move furniture up to the upper floor. This is even more true for non-dismantlable furniture, such as a bed base or a wardrobe.
What guarantees cover my Woodup staircase?
Your staircase benefits from a statutory guarantee of conformity. Its duration is governed by law and is 2 years. In addition, it also benefits from the guarantee against hidden defects. You have two years from the discovery of the problem to make a claim.
