Fir riser base
The fir riser base optimises the functionality of your staircases thanks to its durability and adjustable design. Its initial height of 20 cm allows for bespoke adaptation, and it is easy to install for interior projects.
Solid fir raising base – adjustable and cut-to-size
The solid fir raising base, supplied as a kit, is designed to adjust the starting height of an indoor staircase. Made from solid wood machined in the workshop, it compensates for differences in level between the floor and the first tread while maintaining a consistent appearance. It can be cut on site to fit the layout of each installation.
