Different types of staircase materials and finishes

Woodup staircases offer a wide choice of materials and finishes. Staircase materials concern both the treads, 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, resistance, comfort and durability. Woodup offers a selection of materials and finishes suited to different uses (interior and exterior).

The different materials and types of staircases

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

All-metal or all-wood staircases

Installing a staircase in a room with exposed stonework requires harmonising the materials. The same applies if your project involves installing a new staircase in a design-oriented 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, helical. The treads are in fir, beech or oak. Handrail and balustrade are in wood, with smooth metal 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 area of installation! Choose an all-steel interior staircase and give your home a design style. The all-white metal spiral staircase will revive the style of a traditional stone house. Plan to install the 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 reliable values by professional joiners and cabinet-makers.

Fir

Woodup chose fir for its qualities: lightweight, resistant, affordable price. The Woodup fir staircase comes in straight, quarter-turn, space-saving and helical versions. This material is ideal for secondary staircases and low-traffic areas. Its gentle grain and blonde hue blend into most interiors.

Beech

Beech is a traditional wood, widely used in joinery and cabinet-making. It is prized for its solidity and rigidity. Its light, slightly pinkish hue gives it a timeless charm. Very dense, it ensures great dimensional stability. Its smooth feel offers unrivalled comfort in use. In glued laminated form, the Woodup beech staircase guarantees resistance and robustness.

Oak

The noble wood par excellence, oak is a premium species. Its golden and light brown tones make it a characterful choice. Its pronounced grain and texture are aesthetic parameters to consider when choosing. A hardwood, oak is recommended for main staircases with heavy use. Woodup oak staircases are made from glued laminated timber.

Staircase materials: wood-metal models

Have fun with aesthetics! The material of the treads and balustrade should give you pleasure. Can't decide between wood and steel? Woodup thinks of you! We offer a wide range of staircase materials and finishes. Embrace the mix: give your home the warmth of beech and the strength of iron!

Space-saving staircases: wood and steel

Wood-metal mixed staircases: the lasting design trend

To give an interior a contemporary look, the wood-metal combination is perfect. A more economical solution than glass, metal also reflects a great deal of light. Our flat-pack 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 brings rigidity. In terms of price, metal keeps the bill down. In terms of brightness, the wood-metal staircase brightens a room. This combination of materials wins over with its visual lightness. It is also appreciated for its elegance and ease of maintenance. Fir, beech or oak treads combined with steel stringers deliver a characterful end result.

Staircase material: criteria for making the right choice

Buying a flat-pack staircase online is possible with Woodup. For a comfortable and practical experience, we offer an ergonomic e-commerce website. You choose the type, shape, range, price, height and much more. How do you know if you are proceeding correctly? Use the four criteria below.

Criterion 1: aesthetics and harmony

The material of your staircase determines its design. It must match the style of your interior and home. As a piece of very large furniture, your staircase deserves careful consideration of its appearance. The tip: harmonise treads, balustrades 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. Opt for 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 hygrometric variations.

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 configuration of the house allows it. The straight staircase is often the best option.

Criterion 4: budget and assembly

Woodup provides its customers with quality flat-pack 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

Installing a staircase with oak treads and a steel stringer gives a room a design style. Woodup ensures that its staircases combine elements that guarantee a lasting investment. We help you marry staircase materials and finishes with the aesthetics of your home. Do you have questions about maintaining wooden treads?

FAQ - Everything you need to know about Woodup staircases

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

Which staircase material should you choose for indoors?

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 (handrail, balustrade, central stringer, side stringers).

Can an outdoor 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 manufactured 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.

What material should you choose for a stable staircase?

The stability of a staircase depends on technical parameters such as shape, height, type of stringer and fixing. Nevertheless, wooden staircases are particularly well known for their stability. 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-and-metal staircases. You have the choice between a helical staircase, a contemporary straight staircase and an outdoor staircase.
