NERONNE Upper Quarter-Turn Staircase – Solid Fir, 280 cm, 13 Treads
The NERONNE upper quarter-turn staircase in solid fir is designed to connect two floors while making the most of the available stairwell opening. Its upper quarter-turn configuration means the 90° change of direction is at the top of the flight, just before the landing. This layout is particularly suitable when the stairwell opening is offset from the main direction of ascent, or when the layout of the room below requires the staircase to start in a different direction from the opening.
Designed for a 280 cm floor-to-floor height, with 13 treads and a 20 cm rise, it requires 287 cm of space in the direction of ascent. The recommended stairwell opening is at least 85x287 cm. Tread dimensions: 200x28 mm with risers / 200x32 mm without risers. Available in right- or left-hand versions, with or without risers and a handrail.

Installation advice
Decide which way the upper quarter-turn should go before ordering: right or left. To work this out, imagine yourself at the top of the staircase facing the landing – the turn is in the direction you would go to reach it. This choice cannot be changed once you have ordered.
Check the finished dimensions of the stairwell opening (85x287 cm minimum). The handrail on this staircase is not reversible: its installation side is determined by the direction ordered. If fitting a handrail, install it during assembly: the quarter-turn post also serves as a handrail post and must be accounted for from the outset. Fix the staircase to the floor, stairwell opening and wall in accordance with the instructions.
Care and protection
Apply an indoor finish before first use. For fir, two coats of staircase varnish provide effective protection (renew every 5–7 years); a hardwax oil is suitable for lighter use. For routine cleaning, dust or use a slightly damp cloth. Check that the fixings are tight once a year.
WoodUp advice
The difference between an upper and a lower quarter-turn is not merely aesthetic – it determines where the stairwell opening needs to be in the room. An upper quarter-turn is often chosen when the staircase rises alongside a wall and the opening continues from the upstairs corridor, with a sideways offset at the top. Draw a plan of your room showing the stairwell opening before choosing between an upper and a lower turn – choosing the wrong direction means you will need to reorder the staircase.
Before you buy: the handrail on this model is not reversible – its position (right or left) is determined by the staircase direction you order. Check which direction you need before confirming your order.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right- or left-hand NERONNE?
Stand at the foot of the staircase, facing up the stairs. If the turn at the top goes to your right, choose "right-hand upper quarter-turn". If it goes to your left, choose "left-hand upper quarter-turn". If in doubt, sketch your room, showing the stairwell opening and the direction of ascent – WoodUp customer service can help you confirm which direction you need.
What is the difference between 200x28 mm (with risers) and 200x32 mm (without)?
Tread dimensions vary by version: 200x28 mm with risers (closed staircase) and 200x32 mm without risers (open staircase). The version without risers uses a thicker tread (32 mm) to compensate for the lack of rigidity provided by risers. Both versions use the same stringers.
Can the NERONNE be cut down for a height of 260 cm?
Yes. For an upper quarter-turn staircase, the stringers are cut from the bottom. For 260 cm, approximately 20 cm must be cut off, removing one tread. Check the cutting chart in the product page attachments before proceeding.
Can the handrail be installed after assembly?
The handrail is not reversible: its position is determined by the staircase direction (right or left). The quarter-turn post also serves as a handrail post – if you order without a handrail, you will need to cut this post to the correct height during installation. If in doubt, contact WoodUp customer service before ordering.
What is the minimum stairwell opening for the NERONNE with a handrail?
Without a handrail: minimum stairwell opening of 85x287 cm. With a handrail (total width 82 cm), allow an opening of at least 87x287 cm for assembly clearance. These measurements refer to the finished opening, including any lining. A dimensioned drawing can be downloaded from the product page attachments.
Why choose the NERONNE instead of a straight staircase?
A straight staircase needs its full length (287 cm for the NERONNE) to fit in a straight line. An upper quarter-turn distributes that length across two perpendicular directions, which is essential when the room layout or position of the stairwell opening does not allow a fully straight run.
