Brosses solid fir staircase – Space-saving bottom quarter turn
The Brosses staircase is a bottom quarter-turn staircase in solid fir, designed for interior fittings where floor space must be kept to a minimum. Its configuration allows a change of direction from the very first step, making it easier to fit into standard stairwell openings, both in new builds and renovations. It is delivered as a kit and intended for interior use.
Made from solid fir and delivered unfinished, this staircase is intended to receive a protective finish after installation. It is available with or without risers, depending on whether you want a closed or open-riser staircase. The structure is built on workshop-machined stringers, enabling stable fitting of the treads and progressive assembly in accordance with the supplied instructions.
