Buying a staircase based on shape and type

The shape and type of staircase play a fundamental role in choosing the right product. Woodup is a manufacturer of standard and bespoke staircases, and our staircase solutions are sure to impress. Opt for a straight all-wood staircase if the room's décor is classic. Choose a wood and metal spiral staircase to save space. Install a quarter-turn staircase with radiating steps to enhance safety. Woodup offers a wide selection of staircases. Find the perfect staircase shape and type for your home.

Staircase types and shapes: what are we talking about?

The shape and type of a staircase are two distinct concepts. The shape of a staircase refers to its overall appearance. In this category, you will find straight staircases and turning staircases. Other shapes also exist, such as the helical staircase and the circular staircase. Furthermore, what relates to the type of staircase encompasses other sub-categories. These include the suspended staircase, the self-supporting staircase, the central stringer staircase, the space-saving staircase, the standard staircase, and the bespoke staircase.

To choose the right staircase, identify the shape and type

Easily find on Woodup.fr the staircase that will suit your home. Use our online selection tool to match the staircase shape and type to your building. Bear in mind that it is the shape you should prioritise when making your choice. The next step is to choose the type of staircase. For example, a straight-shaped staircase can be of the suspended or central stringer type. The same staircase can be space-saving, with two flights of steps (Italian-style staircase, or escalier à l'Italienne).

Choosing an indoor staircase based on shape

Choose a Woodup staircase and find a solution at a great price for your staircase installation. Woodup offers standard staircases, available as kits or pre-assembled, which adapt to all types of buildings and homes. Discover the staircases in our range and the materials available. Select the staircase shape and type that appeals to you.

The simplest option: the straight staircase

Get to know the Woodup straight staircase. We offer models with or without risers, with a single flight of steps and no landing. Indoor straight staircases are available in wood, wood and metal, or all-metal. Depending on your décor, choose a central stringer or side stringers.

Space and comfort: turning staircases

Make the most of your space by installing a quarter-turn model in a corner of the room. Take advantage of a square or rectangular opening with the double quarter-turn model. Woodup offers a wide range of materials. Select the material for your steps, handrail, and structure directly on our website.

Design staircase: the spiral or helical staircase

Save space with our spiral (or helical-style) staircases in all-wood, all-metal, or wood and metal. The circular staircase adapts to round, square, or rectangular openings and delivers a design look. Choose a spiral staircase without risers to encourage the flow of light throughout your room.

Choosing a staircase by type

Choosing from the many staircase models available can seem daunting. Rely on our staircase experts and ask all your questions. These may concern the structure, balustrade, design, or materials. In the meantime, discover the types of staircases you can buy based on the available staircase shapes.

Standard or bespoke staircase

Woodup makes buying standard staircases easier by offering a wide range of dimensions (height, width, number of steps, etc.). That said, every building and every home has its own specific characteristics. Make life easier for yourself: if your dimensions are non-standard, opt for a bespoke model, available in all staircase shapes.

Space-saving staircases

Maximise your available space with a space-saving staircase. A straight loft-style staircase, a spiral staircase with alternating steps, a modular turning staircase with beech steps — choose the model best suited to your needs. The standard Woodup space-saving staircase provides access to heights of up to 3 metres.

Classic and contemporary models

Woodup's staircase shapes and types offer you practical and elegant aesthetic solutions. All the shapes we offer come in two main types. Opt for a classic all-wood staircase for a warm and cosy interior atmosphere. Enhance a modern design with our contemporary wood and metal models.

Buying on Woodup based on staircase shape and type

You can now make an informed staircase choice for your home. Simply bear in mind that the shape and type of staircase affect its price, and therefore your budget. The price of a double quarter-turn staircase with radiating steps is higher than the price of a straight staircase with 13 steps and no landing. To choose your staircase wisely based on its shape and type, refer to your house plans. Then, ask our experts your questions before buying. If you cannot find the right staircase, turn to our bespoke models.
