ROCLES 180x180 Double Quarter-Turn Staircase – Laminated Beech or Oak, 285 cm
The ROCLES 180x180 is a double quarter-turn staircase made from laminated beech or laminated oak, designed for a square 180x180 cm stairwell opening. Designed for a floor-to-floor height of 285 cm, it has 14 standard treads + 1 landing nosing (15 riser heights), a width of 90 cm and a tread section of 220x32 mm. The riser height is 19 cm.
The choice between laminated beech and oak affects the appearance and durability. Beech has an even grain and a light colour; oak has a pronounced grain and a warm colour. Both woods are supplied unfinished and need a protective finish before use. Delivered in 4 packages. Available with or without risers and a handrail, in a right- or left-turn configuration.

Key points
- ✓ Laminated beech or oak: two premium, stable and durable woods – choose according to your preferred look
- ✓ 14 treads + landing nosing: the landing nosing provides a flush finish at upper-floor level
- ✓ 220x32 mm section: thick treads for greater rigidity and durability
- ✓ 90 cm width: generous space, making it easier to carry bulky items
- ✓ 180x180 cm stairwell opening: square and symmetrical – check that the corners are square before ordering
- ✓ Pre-drilling essential: beech and oak are hardwoods – always pre-drill before inserting screws
Installation advice
Check that the finished stairwell opening is exactly square and measures 180x180 cm. The direction of turn (right or left) must be decided before ordering. Always pre-drill before driving screws into beech or oak. Allow at least two people and a full day for assembly. Assembling a double quarter-turn staircase in beech or oak is demanding: the components are heavy and the assembly tolerances are tight.
Care and protection
Apply 2–3 coats of stair varnish before first use. A protective finish is essential for beech and oak: despite their density, these woods stain readily if left unprotected. Reapply every 5–7 years, depending on foot traffic. Check the fixings are tight annually.
WoodUp advice
The beech or oak ROCLES 180x180 is the most durable double quarter-turn staircase in the WoodUp range for a 180x180 cm stairwell opening. Compared with the fir GOULES 180x180, the main differences are appearance and durability: laminated beech and oak stand up better to heavy wear and retain a higher-quality finish over time. For the main staircase in a busy family home, investing in beech or oak is worthwhile.
Before you buy: the landing nosing is the last component to be fitted. It joins the final tread to the upper floor. Take particular care when fitting it to ensure a neat join with the existing flooring.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ROCLES 180x180 and the GOULES 180x180?
Both are double quarter-turn staircases for a 180x180 cm stairwell opening, with a 220x32 mm tread section. The GOULES 180x180 is made of fir (the economical option); the ROCLES 180x180 is made of laminated beech or oak (more durable and visually appealing). The ROCLES has 14 treads plus a landing nosing; the GOULES has 15 treads. Both have the same floor-to-floor height (285 cm).
Beech or oak for the ROCLES 180x180 – which should you choose?
Beech has a fine, even grain and a light, slightly pinkish colour. Its understated look suits any interior. Oak has a more pronounced grain and a warm golden-to-brown colour, giving it more character and a richer appearance. Both are laminated and have the same mechanical strength. Choose according to your preferred look and how well it matches the other woodwork in your home.
What is the landing nosing, and what does it do?
The landing nosing is a wooden component fitted at upper-floor level, beyond the final tread. It forms the transition between the last tread and the upstairs flooring, creating a neat, finished edge around the stairwell opening. It counts as half a riser height, which is why the specification says "14 treads + landing nosing" for 15 riser heights in total.
Can the stairwell opening be slightly rectangular (180x185 cm)?
A 180x185 cm stairwell opening can accommodate the ROCLES 180x180, provided the 180 cm side corresponds to the more restricted axis. The extra centimetres in length can even make assembly easier. What matters is that the opening measures at least 180 cm along its shorter side.
Is pre-drilling necessary for laminated oak?
Yes, always. Laminated oak is a dense wood (700 kg/m³) and can split if screws are driven in without pilot holes. Use HSS drill bits with a diameter equal to 70% of the screw diameter. This is particularly important for the turning components, where several fixings are close to the edges.
Can I install the ROCLES 180x180 on my own, or do I need another person?
At least two people are needed. The laminated beech or oak stringers are heavy and bulky. Assembling the double quarter-turn staircase requires several components to be held in place at the same time while screws are fitted, which cannot be done alone. Allow a full day for assembly by two people experienced in DIY.
