Installation advice
Check the floor-to-floor height (maximum 280 cm) and the stairwell opening (minimum 85x256 cm) before unpacking. Determine the direction of the quarter-turn before ordering – a definitive choice that cannot be changed. The handrail is included and must be installed during staircase fitting. Assemble according to the instructions, fixing securely to the floor and upper support. Two people recommended for handling.
Apply the finish after complete installation, including the handrail. Do not use the staircase before the protective finish has been applied.
Maintenance and protection
Raw fir must receive a protective finish before first use. A 2-coat staircase varnish offers the best protection for family use (renewal every 5–7 years). For light use, an oil-wax is sufficient. Regular cleaning: slightly damp cloth, neutral pH.
WoodUp Advice
The CEIGNE is the most compact bottom quarter-turn solution in the fir range, with a footprint of 256 cm compared to 282 cm for the BROSSES or the MOLEDE. This 26 cm advantage can make a difference when the room is short. The trade-off: the going of 17 cm is shorter than the other bottom quarter-turns (19 cm) – the climb is slightly steeper. To be assessed according to the regular users of the staircase.
Important to know before purchasing: the handrail is included and must be fitted during assembly. The direction of the quarter-turn (right or left) must be specified at the time of ordering and cannot be changed after delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the CEIGNE and the BROSSES bottom quarter-turn?
The CEIGNE has a footprint of 256 cm with a going of 17 cm – more compact but steeper. The BROSSES has a footprint of 282 cm with a going of 19 cm – more comfortable but requires more space. The CEIGNE is the right choice when space requires a footprint of less than 260 cm. The BROSSES is suitable when space allows and stair-climbing comfort is a priority.
Is a going of 17 cm sufficient for everyday use?
A going of 17 cm is functional for agile adults who quickly get used to the dimensions. For children under 10 years old, elderly people or those with reduced mobility, a larger going (minimum 19 cm) is recommended for greater safety, particularly when descending. The staircase is self-supporting – it can be fixed only at the top and bottom without wall anchorage if the instructions indicate this.
Can the handrail direction be chosen independently of the staircase direction?
No. On the CEIGNE bottom quarter-turn, the handrail is linked to the structure of the staircase. The direction of the handrail follows the direction of the quarter-turn. The staircase and handrail together are ordered as one unit in a given direction – right or left.
What is the minimum stairwell opening required to install the CEIGNE?
The minimum recommended stairwell opening is 85 cm wide by 256 cm long. These dimensions refer to the finished opening, including cladding. An 80 cm wide opening is not sufficient – the total width including handrail is 82 cm.
Can the CEIGNE be cut to size?
Yes. If your floor-to-floor height is less than 280 cm, the stringers can be cut according to the chart in the instructions. For a height of 260 cm, the cut is approximately 20 cm. The height of the first step is slightly modified as a result.
Why does the section vary between the version with and without risers?
The section changes from 200x28 mm (with risers) to 200x32 mm (without risers). In the closed version, the risers stiffen the structure and allow a 28 mm tread to be used. In the open version without risers, the thicker tread (32 mm) compensates for the absence of rigidity provided by the risers.
