AZET Miller's Staircase - Solid Fir, 291 cm, 13 Steps

The AZET miller's staircase in solid fir is a steep-pitch kit staircase, designed for a floor-to-floor height of 291.2 cm with 13 steps. Its width of 72 cm is intermediate between narrow miller's staircases (65 cm) and standard miller's staircases (80 cm). The floor footprint is 229 cm for a floor opening of 230x80 cm.

The step height is 20.8 cm and the tread depth is 15.1 cm — a typical profile for a steep miller's staircase, to be used preferably facing the staircase (like a ladder) when descending. The step thickness is 32 mm, width 72 cm stringers included. The staircase is non-reversible — the direction must be specified at the time of ordering. Delivered in 2 parcels. Handrail not supplied.

Packaging

✓ Parcel 1: Stringers + steps — 298×21×18 cm
✓ Parcel 2: Quarter turn + accessories — 100×56×15 cm

Key points

✓ Height 291.2 cm: covers floor-to-floor heights greater than standard staircases (280–288 cm)
✓ Width 72 cm: intermediate between 65 and 80 cm — suitable for corridors and moderately confined spaces
✓ Thickness 32 mm: steps thicker than the average miller's staircase — good rigidity under load
✓ 2 parcels: easier handling in confined spaces
✓ Tread depth 15.1 cm: steep pitch — descending facing the stairs is to be avoided, descending with your back to the ascent is recommended
✓ Non-reversible: direction to be specified at the time of ordering — final choice

Installation advice

Check the floor-to-floor height (291.2 cm) and the floor opening (230x80 cm) before unpacking. The AZET is designed for a height of 291.2 cm — if your height is lower, cutting is possible following the instructions. Determine the direction before ordering — this is final.

Fix the stringers securely to the floor and upper support using fixings appropriate to the material. Pre-drill to avoid splitting. The tread depth of 15.1 cm is short — when descending, use the staircase facing the ascent (back to the void) for greater safety. Two people are recommended for assembly.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a 2-coat staircase varnish or an oil-wax finish before first use. Untreated fir absorbs dirt quickly without protection. Renew every 5–7 years. Routine cleaning: slightly damp cloth, neutral pH. Check the tightness of fixings once a year.

WoodUp advice

The AZET stands out with its floor-to-floor height of 291.2 cm — greater than standard miller's staircases (280–287 cm). It is the solution to consider when the finished ceiling height exceeds 288 cm and no other model covers that height. Its tread depth of 15.1 cm is among the shortest in the range — confirm before ordering that this staircase will be used primarily by agile adults accustomed to steep staircases.

Please note before purchasing: the step thickness is 32 mm for a width of 72 cm stringers included. The direction is non-reversible — to be determined before ordering. The handrail is not included and must be ordered separately.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the AZET and the BASSEYRE miller's staircase?

The BASSEYRE is designed for 287 cm floor-to-floor height with a tread depth of 14.7 cm and a width of 65 cm. The AZET is designed for 291.2 cm with a tread depth of 15.1 cm and a width of 72 cm. The AZET covers greater heights and offers a slightly larger width and tread depth. Choose the AZET if your floor-to-floor height is greater than 288 cm.

Can the AZET be cut down for a height of 280 cm?

Yes. For 280 cm, the cut is approximately 11.2 cm on the stringers (291.2 - 280 = 11.2 cm). This cut slightly alters the height of the first step. Check the finished floor-to-floor height on both finished floor and ceiling before any cutting.

Is a tread depth of 15.1 cm safe for everyday use?

A tread depth of 15.1 cm is functional for an agile adult who uses the staircase regularly. When ascending, finding a foothold is instinctive. When descending, it is strongly recommended to descend facing the staircase (back to the void, facing the steps) as on a ladder — this technique is standard for steep miller's staircases. This type of staircase is not recommended as a main access for children under 10 years of age, elderly people, or people with reduced mobility.

Why is the floor-to-floor height 291.2 cm and not a round number?

The height of 291.2 cm is the result of the calculation: 13 steps × step height of 20.8 cm (rounded from 291/14 = 20.78 cm). The step height is determined by the optimal formula for the number of steps and the total height. This calculation sometimes produces non-round values, but this is what ensures that all steps are exactly the same height.

Is the AZET suitable for access to a mezzanine?

Yes — this is the typical use of a miller's staircase. For a mezzanine at 291 cm finished floor-to-floor height, the AZET is suitable. Check that the 229 cm floor footprint is available in the direction of ascent, and that the 230x80 cm floor opening can be made in the mezzanine floor.

Can the AZET be used with heavy loads (carrying materials)?

The AZET is a standard miller's staircase, designed for the passage of people. For transporting materials or heavy loads, the 15.1 cm tread depth and 72 cm width may be restrictive. Light loads (boxes, small tools) pass without difficulty. For bulky materials, plan for an alternative access or use a goods lift.
