CUVILLAT Bottom Quarter-Turn Staircase — Laminated Beech, 280 cm, Handrail Included

The CUVILLAT staircase is a bottom quarter-turn staircase in laminated beech, supplied as a complete kit with handrail included. Its bottom quarter-turn configuration places the 90° change of direction at the foot of the flight, from the very start of the ascent. Designed for a floor-to-floor height of 280 cm with 13 steps, its footprint is 246 cm for a recommended stairwell opening of 85x246 cm.

The riser height is 20 cm for a tread depth of 16 cm — a shorter tread than the Standard range, which reduces the footprint but makes the ascent steeper. The tread section is 190x30 mm. Supplied in 3 packages. The handrail is included and non-reversible — its direction is linked to the direction of the staircase ordered. The laminated beech is supplied raw.

Key points

✓ Complete kit with handrail: handrail included — no additional order required
✓ Bottom quarter-turn: turn at the bottom — space under the staircase recoverable, suitable for stairwell openings offset from the axis of ascent
✓ Laminated beech: dense, stable, wear-resistant — superior quality to fir
✓ Tread depth 16 cm: compact staircase — to be assessed according to the users
✓ Non-reversible handrail: its direction is linked to the direction of the staircase ordered — to be determined before ordering
✓ 3 packages: handling made easier in confined spaces

Installation advice

Determine the direction of the bottom quarter-turn before ordering — a definitive choice that cannot be changed. Check the stairwell opening (85x246 cm minimum) on finished dimensions. The direction of the handrail is linked to the direction of the staircase — no modification possible after delivery.

The handrail is included and must be installed during the fitting of the staircase. Pre-drill before screwing on beech. Two people recommended for handling. Apply the finish after complete installation.

Maintenance and protection

Apply a staircase varnish in 2–3 coats before first use. Raw beech marks quickly without protection. Renewal every 5–7 years depending on traffic. Routine cleaning: damp cloth, pH neutral.

WoodUp Tip

The CUVILLAT is an economical bottom quarter-turn solution in beech with handrail included. Its footprint of 246 cm places it between the NERONNE in fir (287 cm) and the CHOLLIARD straight (214 cm). The tread depth of 16 cm is the main point to consider: the ascent is steeper than on models with a 19 cm tread depth. For primary use by a family with children, the NERONNE or the BAVAT offer superior comfort.

Important before purchasing: the direction of the quarter-turn (left or right) and the direction of the handrail are linked — both must correspond to your configuration. This choice is definitive. If in doubt, submit a sketch of your room showing the position of the stairwell opening to the customer service team before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the CUVILLAT bottom quarter-turn and the NERONNE top quarter-turn?

The CUVILLAT is in beech with a tread depth of 16 cm and a footprint of 246 cm — handrail included. The NERONNE is in fir with a tread depth of 19 cm and a footprint of 287 cm. The CUVILLAT is more compact but steeper and in beech. The NERONNE is more comfortable but requires more space.

Can the CUVILLAT handrail be installed after assembly?

No. On the CUVILLAT bottom quarter-turn, the handrail is integral to the structure — it must be installed during the assembly of the staircase. The handrail is non-reversible: its direction corresponds to the direction of the staircase ordered.

How do you choose between a bottom quarter-turn and a top quarter-turn?

The top quarter-turn (CUVILLAT) places the turn at the top of the flight, at the level of the stairwell opening. It is suitable when the stairwell opening is offset laterally in relation to the foot of the staircase. The bottom quarter-turn places the turn at the bottom, from the very start. It is suitable when the stairwell opening is at an angle in relation to the foot of the staircase. A sketch of the room showing the position of the stairwell opening makes it possible to determine which to choose.

Can the CUVILLAT be trimmed?

Yes. If your floor-to-floor height is less than 280 cm, the stringers can be trimmed according to the diagram in the instruction manual. Trimming modifies the height of the first step. Check the dimensions on finished floor and ceiling before any trimming.

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

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

Is beech more suitable than fir for a quarter-turn staircase?

Laminated beech offers better dimensional stability (important for long components such as stringers) and superior wear resistance. The quarter-turn module, subjected to multi-directional forces, benefits particularly from the rigidity of beech. Fir is acceptable but beech is recommended if the staircase is a frequently used main access route.
