BAVAT Quarter-Turn Top Staircase – Solid Fir, 280 cm, Standard Range

The BAVAT staircase in solid fir is the economical version of the top quarter-turn in the BAVAT range, also available in beech and glued-laminated oak. Designed for a floor-to-floor height of 280 cm with 14 treads, it offers a width of 80 cm on the rise (82 cm at the landing), a footprint of 273 cm, a riser height of 20 cm and a tread depth of 19 cm. The tread section is 210x30 mm.

Identical in dimensions to the BAVAT Beech and Oak, the BAVAT Fir is the most accessible version of the model. The recommended stairwell opening is identical to the BAVAT Beech (273x82 cm). Delivered in several packages according to specifications – refer to the product sheet. Available with or without risers. Handrail optional. The fir is delivered raw; finishing is required before use.

Installation advice

Check the footprint (273 cm) and the stairwell opening (273x82 cm) before ordering. Determine the orientation (right or left) – this is final. Pre-drill before screwing into fir to avoid splitting, even though fir is softer than beech or oak. Minimum two people. The handrail can be added after assembly. Apply the finish after complete installation.

Maintenance and protection

Raw fir must be protected before first use. Without a finish, it absorbs dirt quickly. Options: varnish (maximum protection), oil-wax (natural look), paint (colour customisation). For a main staircase, a 2-coat varnish is recommended. Renewal every 5–7 years. Cleaning: damp cloth, neutral pH.

WoodUp tip

The BAVAT Fir is the economical version of the model – it offers exactly the same dimensions as the BAVAT Beech and the BAVAT Oak, at a lower price. Fir is perfectly suitable if the staircase is intended for standard family use with a careful finish. It is also the only BAVAT that can easily be painted – if you want a white or tinted staircase, this is the version to choose.

Worth knowing before buying: fir is significantly less dense than beech or oak (420 vs 680–700 kg/m³). On a main staircase with heavy traffic and children, the treads may show marks more quickly. A quality varnish and regular renewal compensate for this natural difference in durability.

Frequently asked questions

Can the BAVAT Fir be painted white?

Yes. Fir can be painted easily. Apply one coat of pore-filling primer, then 2 coats of acrylic wood paint (satin or semi-gloss for a staircase). Sand lightly between coats. A fir staircase painted white is one of the most popular finishes for contemporary interiors – paint also protects the wood very well.

What is the difference in durability between the BAVAT Fir and the BAVAT Beech?

Fir (420 kg/m³) is significantly less hard than beech (680 kg/m³). With intensive use, fir treads may show marks and scratches more quickly. With a reinforced varnish and regular maintenance (renewal every 5 years), fir remains perfectly acceptable. For very heavy traffic (large families, main staircase), beech or oak offer superior durability.

Does the BAVAT Fir have the same packaging as the BAVAT Beech?

Yes, the packaging is identical. Both versions are delivered in 5 packages: stringers (3060x220x70 mm / 17 kg), quarter-turn module (1060x550x120 mm / 24 kg), newel posts (2000x150x80 mm / 7 kg), treads (770x330x220 mm / 23 kg) and risers depending on version (750x200x220 mm / 14 kg). The only difference between the BAVAT Fir and the BAVAT Beech relates to the timber species, not the structure or the packaging.

Can the BAVAT Fir be trimmed?

Yes. The trimming is done on the stringers according to the cutting chart in the instructions. Fir is easier to trim than beech or oak – a jigsaw with a fine wood blade is sufficient. For a clean cut, use a circular saw with a guide. Check the floor-to-floor height on finished floor and finished ceiling before any trimming.

Can the handrail be fitted after the BAVAT Fir has been assembled?

Yes. The handrail is optional and can be fitted after the staircase has been assembled. On a top quarter-turn, the handrail is not reversible – its orientation corresponds to the orientation of the staircase ordered. The screws are supplied with the handrail.

What paint do you recommend for a fir staircase used by children?

For a fir staircase with heavy traffic and children, an acrylic floor and staircase paint in a satin finish (EN 71 toy standard for areas accessible to children) is recommended. Apply a bonding primer, then 2–3 coats of paint. Avoid gloss paints (too slippery) and oil-based paints (slow drying, strong odour).

Installation advice

To be installed at the same time as the staircase. Fix posts, bottom rail, spindles then handrail in that order. Check the height of minimum 90 cm from the nosing and spacing less than 11 cm (standard NF P01-012). Apply varnish or paint before final fixing. Two people recommended.

Maintenance and protection

The wood is delivered raw and untreated. Apply a protective finish before use: satin varnish 2 coats (maximum resistance), oil-wax (natural look, renewal every 1–2 years) or paint. The handrail, subject to frequent contact, benefits from an abrasion-resistant varnish.

Annual maintenance with a product suited to the chosen finish. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based products.

Frequently asked questions

What is the inner side of a staircase?

On a quarter-turn staircase, a distinction is made between the inner side (the side towards which the staircase turns, inside of the curve) and the outer side (the side opposite the curve, the free side of the flight). This handrail is positioned on the outer side. To determine this, go up your staircase and observe which side the quarter turn is on.

Why is this handrail non-reversible?

The geometry of the quarter turn imposes a specific shape on the handrail. An outer-side handrail cannot be reversed to become an inner-side one – the angles and lengths of each section differ. Always check your configuration before ordering: position of the quarter turn and direction of ascent.

Can this handrail be installed after the BAVAT staircase has been fitted?

This handrail must be installed at the same time as the staircase – some fixings are only accessible during assembly. Plan the installation at the same time.

What finish should be applied to this wooden handrail?

The handrail subject to daily contact requires an abrasion-resistant finish: satin varnish 2 coats is recommended. For the spindles and posts, an oil-wax (natural look) or paint depending on the décor. Apply the finish before final fixing to treat hidden areas.

Does the spacing between spindles comply with the safety standard?

The spacing must be less than 11 cm to prevent the passage of an 11 cm sphere (standard NF P01-012). Check the actual spacing after installation according to your staircase configuration, particularly at the bottom of the flight where the handrail is more open.
