ROCLES 160x160 Double Quarter-Turn Staircase - Beech or Oak, 285 cm, Without Handrail

The ROCLES 160x160 staircase is a double quarter-turn staircase in glued laminated beech or glued laminated oak, without handrail, designed for a square stairwell opening of 160x160 cm. Intended for a floor-to-floor height of 285 cm with 14 treads + 1 landing nosing (15 risers), it offers a width of 80 cm, a rise of 19 cm and a going of 21 cm. The tread section is 220x30 mm.

The total footprint is 165x160.4x165 cm (W x D x H). This double quarter-turn staircase is sold without a handrail — the handrail must be ordered separately and installed during assembly. Available with or without risers, in right-hand or left-hand configuration.

Key points

✓ Stairwell opening 160x160 cm: smaller than 180x180 double quarter-turn staircases — accessible when the square opening is limited
✓ Tread depth 21 cm: greater than the Standard range (19 cm) — improved climbing comfort
✓ Section 220x30 mm: wide and thick treads — rigidity and durability
✓ Beech or oak: two premium wood species offering superior durability compared to fir
✓ Sold without handrail: flexibility in handrail choice — to be ordered separately
✓ Landing nosing included: flush finish with the upper floor

Installation advice

Verify that the stairwell opening is a square of 160x160 cm minimum on finished dimensions. The total footprint of 165x160.4 cm is slightly larger than the stairwell opening — allow for fitting clearances. Determine the direction (right-hand or left-hand) before ordering — this is final. The handrail must be ordered separately and installed during staircase assembly. Pre-drill on beech and oak. Minimum two people for assembly.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a varnish 2–3 coats before first use. The quarter-turn treads (balanced) experience asymmetric wear — a solid finish is particularly important in these areas. Renew every 5–7 years. Cleaning: damp cloth, neutral pH.

WoodUp advice

The ROCLES 160x160 is the most compact glued laminated beech/oak double quarter-turn staircase in the WoodUp range, with a stairwell opening of only 160x160 cm. It is the preferred solution when a 180x180 cm stairwell is not possible and you want a double quarter-turn staircase in a premium wood species. The total footprint of 165x160.4 cm is slightly larger than the stairwell opening — allow for this clearance when creating the opening.

Important before purchasing: this model is sold without a handrail. The handrail must be ordered separately from WoodUp accessories and must be installed during staircase assembly. Plan for the handrail before ordering to ensure compatibility and visual consistency.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ROCLES 160x160 and the GOULES 160x160 without handrail?

The ROCLES 160x160 is made from glued laminated beech or oak — more durable and aesthetically refined. The GOULES 160x160 is made from fir — more economical. Both have a stairwell opening of 160x160 cm, 14 treads + landing nosing, and are sold without a handrail. The choice depends on budget and preferred wood species.

Can the ROCLES 160x160 be adapted to a 155x155 cm stairwell opening?

No. The minimum footprint is 160x160 cm — a smaller stairwell opening does not allow this staircase to be installed. If your opening is 150x150 cm or less, there is no compatible kit double quarter-turn staircase — a spiral staircase or a single quarter-turn staircase could be an alternative depending on the configuration.

Is the handrail compatible with both wood species (beech and oak)?

Yes. The handrails available in WoodUp accessories are compatible with both wood species. For optimal visual consistency, choose a handrail in the same species as the staircase. Consult the accessories section or customer service for models compatible with an 80 cm double quarter-turn staircase.

Can the ROCLES 160x160 be cut down for a ceiling height of 264 cm?

Yes. For 264 cm, remove one tread (14 treads x 19 cm = 266 cm, close to 264 cm) then cut down the stringers by approximately 2 cm. This modification slightly reduces the original footprint. The intermediate quarter-turn modules and the top landing do not change — they are fixed in the design of this model.

Beech or oak for the ROCLES 160x160 — which do you recommend?

For a main double quarter-turn staircase with heavy traffic, oak is more durable (700 kg/m³ vs 680 kg/m³). For a discreet aesthetic and a controlled budget, beech is the best compromise. Both in glued laminated form offer superior dimensional stability compared to solid wood — a notable advantage for the long quarter-turn components.

How long does assembly of the ROCLES 160x160 take?

Allow a full day for two people experienced in DIY. The critical points are the assembly of the quarter-turn module (must be perfectly level before fitting the stringers), the alignment of the stringers, and the orderly fitting of the treads. The detailed instruction manual makes assembly easier — read it in full before starting.

Installation advice

Install this handrail simultaneously with the ROCLES or GOULES staircase for a consistent result. First fix the start and end newel posts, then the bottom rail, the spindles and finally the handrail. Check the final height of 90 cm (vertical measurement from the nosing).

Apply the finish to all elements before final fixing. The handrail requires an abrasion-resistant finish (2 coats of varnish recommended). The spacing between the spindles must be less than 11 cm (standard NF P01-012).

Maintenance and protection

The wood is supplied raw untreated. Apply a protective finish before heavy use - satin varnish (2 coats), oil-wax or polyurethane varnish depending on the desired appearance. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, particularly benefits from an abrasion-resistant varnish.

Annual maintenance with a product suited to the chosen finish is sufficient to preserve the appearance of the wood. Avoid abrasive products or solvent-based cleaners that degrade finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Which wood species should I choose between fir, beech and oak for this handrail?

Fir is the economical option, softer but sufficient for an interior handrail with a protective finish. Beech is the traditional species for handrails: harder, abrasion-resistant, fine and regular grain. Oak is the premium choice: maximum lifespan, noble appearance, but higher price. For standard family use, beech offers the best quality/durability/price ratio.

Is this handrail compatible with staircases other than the ROCLES or GOULES?

The handrail is sized for the ROCLES or GOULES WoodUp staircase. Adaptation to other staircases of similar configuration (double quarter-turn) is possible by checking dimensional compatibility. Contact WoodUp with the precise measurements of your stairwell and staircase before ordering.

Can a different wood species be chosen from that of the staircase?

Yes, there is no obligation to match the wood species between the staircase and the handrail. Some homeowners choose oak for the handrail on a fir staircase for greater durability on the handrail, or for a contrasting aesthetic effect. Apply the same colour finish for visual harmony.

Is the handrail supplied assembled or as a kit?

The handrail is supplied as a kit to be assembled according to WoodUp instructions. Assembly requires a drill, wood drill bits, a level and a mallet or hammer. Installation is accessible to a DIYer with basic experience. Allow 2 to 4 hours for installation depending on the configuration.

What safety standard applies to an interior staircase handrail?

In France, standard NF P01-012 applies to balustrades. For a private interior staircase, the minimum height is 90 cm from the nosing. The spacing between spindles must prevent the passage of an 11 cm sphere. These requirements are the minimum regulatory standards for new builds.
