The half-turn staircase: an intermediate angle of 180°
The half-turn staircase is a product similar to the "double quarter-turn" staircase. Its structure (stringers, treads, and reinforcements) is U-shaped. The half-turn staircase has an intermediate angle of 180°. The foot of the staircase is opposite the exit onto the landing. Each flight of treads meets the other via a flight of balanced treads or an intermediate landing. The half-turn staircase is in wood or wood and metal, with a central stringer or lateral stringers, with or without risers.
How to choose a half-turn staircase?
Choose a half-turn staircase based on the following dimensions:
- Landing height;
- Stairwell width;
- Available floor space.
Bear in mind that a staircase is much more than a structure made of treads. It is a piece of furniture that has an effect on the décor. Pay close attention to the staircase accessories (balusters, flat bars, balustrades) and its finish. Opt for a half-turn staircase without risers to let light through beneath the staircase.
Characteristics of the half-turn staircase
Discover our half-turn staircases and make your choice based on their main characteristics. The half-turn staircase offers as much comfort as a straight staircase. It allows safe access to an upper floor in a limited space thanks to a comfortable angle of inclination. Half-turn staircases are suited to a square stairwell. Some renovation projects favour the half-turn staircase over the spiral staircase for design purposes.
Dimensions of the half-turn staircase stairwell opening
Do you have a square stairwell? Plan to install a half-turn staircase if your stairwell dimensions allow it. Due to its structure, a half-turn staircase requires a stairwell of at least 160 x 160 cm. The half-turn staircase is also compatible with a sufficiently wide rectangular stairwell.
Landing-free structure of the half-turn staircase
Easy to use, half-turn staircases have a double flight of treads and a 180° angle. The structure of the half-turn staircase without a landing saves space. The starting flight of the staircase is opposite the arriving flight of treads. The classic half-turn staircase is supported by two wooden stringers. The structure of the modular model rests on a central epoxy steel stringer (durable finish and décor).
Comfort of use of the half-turn staircase
The half-turn staircase is the intermediate option between the straight staircase and the spiral staircase. Its U-shaped structure (180° angle) produces a sense of fluidity in use. For the same floor footprint as a spiral staircase, the half-turn staircase is wider. Opt for this type of staircase for frequent use. Add a sturdy handrail and balustrade to your half-turn staircase to enhance safety.

All-wood interior half-turn staircase
The price of a wooden half-turn staircase is higher than that of a straight staircase. However, the effect of this type of staircase on interior décor is unique. Depending on the model, you can choose the structure with or without risers. The standard height of half-turn staircases is 2.80 m, with a tread width of 80 cm. Based on your décor, enhance your staircase with a handrail featuring horizontal metal flat bars or a handrail with wooden spindles.
Woodup contemporary half-turn staircase
Choose this half-turn staircase model for a particular stairwell opening. Opt for this type of staircase if the floor-to-floor height exceeds standard dimensions (common in renovation projects). The contemporary half-turn staircase is a modular wood and metal staircase. It consists of a central steel stringer and solid or laminated wood treads (fir, beech, or oak). For an elegant finish, choose the handrail and balustrade carefully (wood and metal flat bars or metal tubes).
