Key points
- ✓ Stairwell opening 160x160 cm: smaller than 180x180 double quarter-turn staircases — accessible when the square opening is limited
- ✓ Tread depth 21 cm: greater than the Standard range (19 cm) — improved climbing comfort
- ✓ Section 220x30 mm: wide and thick treads — rigidity and durability
- ✓ Beech or oak: two premium wood species offering superior durability compared to fir
- ✓ Sold without handrail: flexibility in handrail choice — to be ordered separately
- ✓ Landing nosing included: flush finish with the upper floor
Installation advice
Verify that the stairwell opening is a square of 160x160 cm minimum on finished dimensions. The total footprint of 165x160.4 cm is slightly larger than the stairwell opening — allow for fitting clearances. Determine the direction (right-hand or left-hand) before ordering — this is final. The handrail must be ordered separately and installed during staircase assembly. Pre-drill on beech and oak. Minimum two people for assembly.
Maintenance and protection
Apply a varnish 2–3 coats before first use. The quarter-turn treads (balanced) experience asymmetric wear — a solid finish is particularly important in these areas. Renew every 5–7 years. Cleaning: damp cloth, neutral pH.
WoodUp advice
The ROCLES 160x160 is the most compact glued laminated beech/oak double quarter-turn staircase in the WoodUp range, with a stairwell opening of only 160x160 cm. It is the preferred solution when a 180x180 cm stairwell is not possible and you want a double quarter-turn staircase in a premium wood species. The total footprint of 165x160.4 cm is slightly larger than the stairwell opening — allow for this clearance when creating the opening.
Important before purchasing: this model is sold without a handrail. The handrail must be ordered separately from WoodUp accessories and must be installed during staircase assembly. Plan for the handrail before ordering to ensure compatibility and visual consistency.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ROCLES 160x160 and the GOULES 160x160 without handrail?
The ROCLES 160x160 is made from glued laminated beech or oak — more durable and aesthetically refined. The GOULES 160x160 is made from fir — more economical. Both have a stairwell opening of 160x160 cm, 14 treads + landing nosing, and are sold without a handrail. The choice depends on budget and preferred wood species.
Can the ROCLES 160x160 be adapted to a 155x155 cm stairwell opening?
No. The minimum footprint is 160x160 cm — a smaller stairwell opening does not allow this staircase to be installed. If your opening is 150x150 cm or less, there is no compatible kit double quarter-turn staircase — a spiral staircase or a single quarter-turn staircase could be an alternative depending on the configuration.
Is the handrail compatible with both wood species (beech and oak)?
Yes. The handrails available in WoodUp accessories are compatible with both wood species. For optimal visual consistency, choose a handrail in the same species as the staircase. Consult the accessories section or customer service for models compatible with an 80 cm double quarter-turn staircase.
Can the ROCLES 160x160 be cut down for a ceiling height of 264 cm?
Yes. For 264 cm, remove one tread (14 treads x 19 cm = 266 cm, close to 264 cm) then cut down the stringers by approximately 2 cm. This modification slightly reduces the original footprint. The intermediate quarter-turn modules and the top landing do not change — they are fixed in the design of this model.
Beech or oak for the ROCLES 160x160 — which do you recommend?
For a main double quarter-turn staircase with heavy traffic, oak is more durable (700 kg/m³ vs 680 kg/m³). For a discreet aesthetic and a controlled budget, beech is the best compromise. Both in glued laminated form offer superior dimensional stability compared to solid wood — a notable advantage for the long quarter-turn components.
How long does assembly of the ROCLES 160x160 take?
Allow a full day for two people experienced in DIY. The critical points are the assembly of the quarter-turn module (must be perfectly level before fitting the stringers), the alignment of the stringers, and the orderly fitting of the treads. The detailed instruction manual makes assembly easier — read it in full before starting.

Installation advice
Install this handrail simultaneously with the ROCLES double quarter-turn staircase for a consistent result. First fix the wooden newel posts to the starting and ending treads, then assemble the metal rails horizontally. Check that the final height of 90 cm is respected (vertical measurement from the nosing).
The spacing between the rails must be less than 11 cm to comply with standard NF P01-012. Apply the finish to the wooden newel posts before final fixing. Two people recommended for installation.
Maintenance and protection
The black metal finish requires no special treatment. An annual clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient to maintain the appearance. Avoid abrasive or acid products that could damage the coating.
The wooden newel posts and elements are delivered raw - apply a finish (varnish, oil or lacquer) before use to protect and facilitate maintenance. The wooden handrail is treated in the same way as the treads of the associated staircase.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this black metal rail handrail and the wooden spindle handrail for the ROCLES double quarter-turn staircase?
The black metal rail handrail offers a contemporary style with clean horizontal lines, ideal for modern or design interiors. The wooden spindle handrail brings a traditional and warm feel, consistent with a classic or rustic interior. Both comply with safety standards. The choice depends on the style of your interior.
Is this handrail compatible with staircases other than the ROCLES double quarter-turn?
The handrail is sized for the WoodUp ROCLES double quarter-turn staircase. Adaptation to other staircases of similar configuration is possible but requires checking dimensional compatibility. Contact WoodUp with the precise measurements of your staircase before ordering.
Does the black metal deteriorate over time?
The black metal finish is treated to resist wear and impact. It does not rust under normal indoor use. Superficial scratches may appear with intensive use - they can be disguised with a black metal paint (touch-up pot) applied with a fine brush.
Are the black metal rails cold to the touch in winter?
Metal is thermally conductive and may feel cold to the touch in cold weather, unlike wood. However, in a heated indoor environment, this effect is limited. The wooden newel posts of this handrail retain a warmer texture for lateral support.
Do the wooden newel posts of this handrail need treating?
Yes, the wooden newel posts are delivered raw. Apply a finish (varnish, paint or oil) before final fixing. Choose a finish consistent with your staircase treads for a harmonious result. An abrasion-resistant satin varnish is recommended for areas of frequent contact.
