CUVILLAT Lower Quarter-Turn Staircase – Glued-Laminated Beech, 280 cm, Handrail Included

The CUVILLAT is a lower quarter-turn staircase in glued-laminated beech, supplied as a complete kit with a handrail. Its lower quarter-turn configuration places the 90° change of direction at the bottom of the flight, as you begin to climb. Designed for a floor-to-floor height of 280 cm with 13 steps, it requires 246 cm of floor space and a recommended 85x246 cm stairwell opening.

The step rise is 20 cm and the going is 16 cm. This shorter going than the Standard range reduces the space required but makes the staircase steeper. The tread cross-section is 190x30 mm. Supplied in 3 packages. The handrail is included and cannot be reversed; its orientation is tied to that of the staircase ordered. The glued-laminated beech is supplied unfinished.

✓ Glued-laminated beech: dense, stable and wear-resistant – higher quality than fir
✓ 16 cm going: compact staircase – consider whether it suits the users
✓ Handrail cannot be reversed: its orientation matches that of the staircase ordered – decide before ordering
✓ 3 packages: easier to handle in confined spaces

Installation advice

Choose the direction of the lower quarter-turn before ordering – this choice cannot be changed. Check the stairwell opening (85x246 cm minimum) using finished dimensions. The handrail orientation is tied to the staircase orientation and cannot be changed after delivery.

The handrail is included and must be fitted when the staircase is installed. Pre-drill before screwing into the beech. Two people are recommended for handling. Apply the finish after installation is complete.

Care and protection

Apply two to three coats of stair varnish before first use. Unfinished beech marks easily without protection. Reapply every 5–7 years, depending on use. For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner.

WoodUp advice

The CUVILLAT is an economical lower quarter-turn beech staircase with a handrail included. Its floor-space requirement of 246 cm puts it between the fir NERONNE (287 cm) and the straight CHOLLIARD (214 cm). The 16 cm going is the main consideration: it makes for a steeper climb than models with a 19 cm going. For a family’s main staircase, the NERONNE or BAVAT offers greater comfort.

Before you buy: the direction of the quarter-turn (right or left) determines the handrail orientation. Both must suit your layout. This choice cannot be changed. If in doubt, send a sketch of your room to customer service before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the CUVILLAT lower quarter-turn and the NERONNE upper quarter-turn?

The CUVILLAT is made of beech, with a 16 cm going and a floor-space requirement of 246 cm; the handrail is included. The NERONNE is made of fir, with a 19 cm going and a floor-space requirement of 287 cm. The CUVILLAT is more compact but steeper, and is made of beech. The NERONNE is more comfortable but needs more space.

Can the CUVILLAT handrail be fitted after assembly?

No. On the CUVILLAT lower quarter-turn staircase, the handrail is part of the structure and must be fitted during assembly. It cannot be reversed: its orientation matches that of the staircase ordered.

How do I choose between a lower and an upper quarter-turn staircase?

An upper quarter-turn staircase (CUVILLAT) has its turn at the top of the flight, by the stairwell opening. It suits an opening offset sideways from the foot of the stairs. A lower quarter-turn staircase turns at the bottom, as the stairs begin. It suits an opening at an angle to the starting point. A sketch of the room showing the opening will help you decide which to choose.

Can the CUVILLAT 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. Cutting them changes the height of the first step. Check the dimensions against the finished floor and ceiling before cutting.

What is the minimum stairwell opening for the CUVILLAT with handrail?

The minimum stairwell opening is 85 cm wide by 246 cm long. Allow an additional 2–3 cm in both width and length for installation clearance. These measurements refer to the finished opening, including any lining.

Is beech better suited than fir to a quarter-turn staircase?

Glued-laminated beech offers better dimensional stability, which matters for long components such as stringers, and greater wear resistance. The quarter-turn section, which is subject to forces from multiple directions, particularly benefits from beech’s rigidity. Fir is suitable, but beech is recommended if the staircase is a busy main thoroughfare.
