Definition of the Japanese staircase or alternating tread staircase

Look at the principle of the Japanese staircase to better understand the different models in our range. An alternating tread staircase is made up of non-straight L-shaped steps. If the first step is full on the right, the step above will be full on the left. The deep part of a step is thus positioned beneath the reduced part of the step above. This alternating pattern of L-shaped steps has the effect of considerably reducing the space taken up by the staircase in a room.

Choose your Japanese staircase carefully

You can select your Japanese tread kit staircase in just a few clicks: straight staircase, quarter-turn staircase, spiral staircase, or modular staircase. For a lasting purchase, choose your staircase according to the following criteria.

The design of the Japanese staircase

L'escalier à pas japonais, also known as the alternating tread staircase, is perfect for a small room, a mezzanine loft, whatever the height to climb. Match the material of your staircase to your décor. Opt for an all-wood staircase for a classic interior, or wood/metal for a space with a contemporary design. Choose the right type of staircase carefully. The space-saving aspect affects the style, depending on whether the Japanese staircase is straight, helical or quarter-turn.

The dimensions of your Japanese tread staircase

The Japanese tread staircase is the perfect space-saving staircase, however its installation does have an effect on safety and comfort. Measure the height of your staircase precisely. Not all Japanese staircases have the same heights — measure yours carefully. In terms of width: space saving implies a reduced width, so be realistic and factor in the width of the handrail.

The modular Japanese tread staircase: easy installation

As with a range of traditional staircases (straight staircase, spiral staircase), you will find an all-wood Japanese staircase on Woodup.fr. You have the choice between a right or left quarter-turn product and a straight product (similar to a loft ladder with alternating steps).
