Different types of staircase materials

Woodup staircases offer a wide choice of materials. Staircase materials concern both the steps, the stringer, the balustrade and the risers. Study the advantages of each staircase material carefully before buying. A material such as metal provides a good compromise between aesthetics, strength, comfort and durability. Woodup offers a selection of materials suited to different uses (interior and exterior).

The different materials and types of staircases

Fancy something classic: opt for the all-wood straight staircase! Need a contemporary renovation: think of the wood-metal spiral design staircase. For your new staircase installation project, pay careful attention to the combination of materials! Choose from our wide range of standard staircases with wooden or metal steps! Solve your space problem with our custom-made wood or wood-metal staircases.

All-metal or all-wood staircases

Installing a staircase in a room with exposed stonework requires harmonising the materials. This is also the case if your project involves installing a new staircase in a designer room. The staircase is the most important piece of furniture in a home — be precise in your choice. Staircase materials are often divided into two categories. Discover all-wood staircases and all-metal staircases.

Staircase materials: all-wood staircases

Opt for our wooden staircases if your décor is in a classic style. Choose the model suited to your home: straight staircase, quarter-turn, space-saving, spiral. The steps are in fir, beech or oak. The balustrade and guard rail are in wood, with metal rails as an option if the staircase is bespoke. Woodup supports you throughout your installation project. Contact our experts to receive advice on appearance, aesthetics and safety.

Staircase material: all-metal staircases

Staircase materials do not always determine the installation area! Choose an all-steel interior staircase and give your home a designer style. The all-white metal spiral staircase will revive the style of a traditional stone house. Plan the installation of a galvanised steel straight staircase to give a loft feel to your interior renovation.

The wood species favoured by Woodup

We have been working with wood for three generations. A true passion, wood is the beating heart of every Woodup product. To serve you better, we select species recognised as trusted choices by professional joiners and cabinetmakers.

Fir

Woodup has chosen fir for its qualities: lightweight, resistant, affordable price. The Woodup fir staircase is available as a straight staircase, quarter-turn, space-saving, and spiral. This material is ideal for secondary staircases and low-traffic areas. Its soft grain and blonde hue blend into most interiors.

Beech

Beech is a traditional wood, widely used in joinery and cabinetmaking. It is prized for its strength and rigidity. Its light, slightly pinkish hue gives it a timeless charm. Very dense, it provides excellent dimensional stability. Its smooth texture offers unparalleled comfort in use. In glulam, the Woodup beech staircase guarantees resistance and robustness.

Oak

A noble wood par excellence, oak is a premium species. Its golden and light brown tones make it a characterful choice. Its marked grain and texture are aesthetic parameters to consider when making your choice. A hard wood, oak is recommended for main staircases with heavy use. Woodup oak staircases are made from glulam.

Mixed wood-metal staircases: the lasting design trend

To give an interior a contemporary feel, the wood-metal combination is perfect. A more economical solution than glass, metal also reflects a great deal of light. Our kit models fit into any type of space, from revisited classic to industrial loft.

Wood and metal: a technical and aesthetic combination

Wood brings warmth, and metal provides rigidity. In terms of price, metal keeps the bill down. In terms of brightness, the wood-metal staircase lights up a room. This combination of materials is appealing for its visual lightness. It is also appreciated for its elegance and ease of maintenance. Steps in fir, beech or oak, combined with steel stringers, deliver a characterful end result.

Staircase material: criteria for making the right choice

Buying a kit staircase online is possible with Woodup. For a comfortable and convenient experience, we offer you an ergonomic e-commerce site. You choose the type, shape, range, price, height and much more. How do you know if you are going about it correctly? Use the four criteria below.

Criterion 1: aesthetics and harmony

The staircase material determines its design. It must complement the interior design and the house. As a very large piece of furniture, your staircase requires careful consideration of its appearance. The tip: harmonise the steps, balustrade and stringers with your floors and walls. Take into account the position of the staircase in relation to natural light sources.

Criterion 2: robustness and durability

Analyse the use you will make of the staircase. For regular, intensive use, plan for an appropriate material. Wood is suitable. Choose oak or beech in that case. These species are very robust. In a damp environment, study the solutions offered by metal staircases. Compared to wood, metal is less sensitive to variations in humidity.

Criterion 3: maintenance and practicality

To last, a staircase requires regular maintenance. Varnished or vitrified wood is very easy to clean on a daily basis and retains its natural charm. An all-metal staircase only requires regular dusting. For greater practicality, limit complex shapes if the layout of the house allows. A straight staircase is often the best option.

Criterion 4: budget and assembly

Woodup provides its customers with quality kit staircases that are easy to assemble. All our models come with an assembly guide. Take stock of your budget. Our range includes eco, comfort, bespoke and prestige staircases. The average prices of a standard staircase vary, depending on the model, from €550 to €3,800.

Staircase materials: make the right choice

FAQ - Everything you need to know about Woodup staircases

For more than three generations, Woodup has been helping its customers choose the right staircase. Thanks to our support, you get a model that is 100% in line with your expectations. You probably have questions about our staircases, their material, their strength, their maintenance. Discover the answers from our experts.

Which staircase material should you choose for indoor use?

Wood remains unquestionably a very warm material. It also offers a wide palette of shades and colours. For a staircase with a contemporary design, combine it with metal (balustrade, guard rail, central stringer, side stringers).

Can an exterior staircase be made of wood?

For outdoor use, the preferred material is galvanised metal. This is a permanent treatment against corrosion. We offer several models. If the staircase is not too exposed to the elements, Douglas fir or larch are naturally resistant species.

Are Woodup staircases made in France?

Woodup is a company based in Auvergne. Depending on the model, our staircases are manufactured in France or in nearby European countries. We work with Poland and Romania, nations renowned for their expertise in woodworking.

For a stable staircase, which material should you choose?

The stability of a staircase depends on technical parameters such as shape, height, type of stringer and fixing. That said, wooden staircases are renowned for being particularly stable. A traditional straight or quarter-turn model meets this criterion.

Is the Woodup staircase covered by a guarantee?

Every Woodup product benefits from a statutory guarantee of conformity. Its duration is two years. In addition, Woodup staircases are covered by the guarantee against hidden defects. Its duration is two years from the date of discovery of the hidden defect.

Which material requires the least maintenance?

Metal is a material that requires very little maintenance. Our range includes all-metal or wood-metal staircases. You have the choice between a spiral staircase, a contemporary straight staircase, and an exterior staircase.
