Double Quarter Turn Staircase ROCLES 180x180 - Glued-laminated Beech or Oak, 285 cm
The ROCLES 180x180 staircase is a double quarter turn staircase in glued-laminated beech or glued-laminated oak, available for a square stairwell of 180x180 cm. Designed for a floor-to-floor height of 285 cm, it has 14 standard steps + 1 landing nosing (i.e. 15 step heights), a width of 90 cm and a step section of 220x32 mm. The step height is 19 cm.
The choice between glued-laminated beech and oak determines the aesthetic and durability. Beech offers a regular grain and a light tone; oak presents a marked grain and a warm tone. Both species are delivered raw and require a finish before use. Delivered in 4 packages. Available with or without risers and handrail, in right or left direction.

Key points
- ✓ Glued-laminated beech or oak: two noble, stable, durable species — choose according to your desired aesthetic
- ✓ 14 steps + landing nosing: the landing nosing provides a flush finish at the upper floor level
- ✓ Section 220x32 mm: thick steps — superior rigidity and durability
- ✓ Width 90 cm: generous clearance, comfortable for carrying bulky items
- ✓ Stairwell 180x180 cm: square and symmetrical — check for squareness before ordering
- ✓ Pre-drilling mandatory: beech and oak are hardwoods — always pre-drill before screwing
Installation advice
Check that the stairwell is strictly square at 180x180 cm on finished dimensions. The direction (right or left) must be determined before ordering. Always pre-drill before screwing into beech or oak. Plan for a minimum of two people for assembly and a full day. Assembling a DQT in beech or oak is demanding — the pieces are heavy and the assembly tolerances are tight.
Maintenance and protection
Apply a staircase varnish 2–3 coats before first use. On beech and oak, a protective finish is essential — these dense woods absorb stains heavily without protection. Renew every 5–7 years depending on traffic. Check the tightness of fixings annually.
WoodUp Tip
The ROCLES 180x180 beech or oak is the most durable DQT in the WoodUp range for a 180x180 cm stairwell. The difference compared to the GOULES 180x180 in fir is primarily aesthetic and in terms of durability: glued-laminated beech and oak resist intensive wear better and offer a higher quality finish in the long term. For a main staircase in a family home with heavy traffic, the investment in beech or oak is worthwhile.
Important before purchasing: the landing nosing is the last piece to be fitted — it provides the junction between the last step and the upper floor. Its installation requires particular care to ensure a clean join with the existing floor covering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ROCLES 180x180 and the GOULES 180x180?
Both are DQTs with a 180x180 cm stairwell and a 220x32 mm section. The GOULES 180x180 is in fir (economical), the ROCLES 180x180 is in glued-laminated beech or oak (more durable and aesthetically pleasing). The ROCLES has 14 steps + landing nosing; the GOULES has 15 steps. The floor-to-floor height is identical (285 cm).
Beech or oak for the ROCLES 180x180 — how to choose?
Beech offers a fine, regular grain and a light, slightly rosy tone — discreet and suits all interiors. Oak presents a more marked grain and a warm, golden to brown tone — more characterful and adds value. Both are glued-laminated with the same mechanical strength. Choose according to the desired aesthetic and consistency with the other woodwork in the home.
What is the landing nosing and what is it for?
The landing nosing is a piece of wood positioned at the upper floor level, in line with the last step. It ensures the transition between the last step of the staircase and the floor covering of the upper level, forming a clean, finished edge at the stairwell opening. It counts as half a step height — which is why we refer to "14 steps + landing nosing" for 15 total heights.
Can the stairwell be slightly rectangular (180x185 cm)?
A stairwell of 180x185 cm can accommodate the ROCLES 180x180, provided that the 180 cm side corresponds to the most constrained axis. The extra centimetre in length even makes assembly easier. What matters is that the stairwell is not less than 180 cm in its smallest dimension.
Is pre-drilling required for glued-laminated oak?
Yes, systematically. Glued-laminated oak is a dense wood (700 kg/m³) that will split if screwed without a pilot hole. Use HSS drill bits with a diameter equal to 70% of the screw diameter. This precaution is particularly important on quarter-turn pieces, where several fixings are close to the edges.
Can the ROCLES 180x180 be installed alone or does it require two people?
A minimum of two people is required. The stringers in glued-laminated beech or oak are heavy and cumbersome. Assembling the double quarter turn requires holding several pieces simultaneously during screwing — which is not achievable alone. Allow a full day of assembly for two people experienced in DIY.
