Installation advice
Check the footprint (273 cm) and the stairwell opening (273x82 cm) before ordering. Determine the direction (right or left) - this is final. Pre-drill before screwing into fir to avoid splitting, even though fir is softer than beech or oak. Minimum two people. The handrail can be added after assembly. Apply the finish after full installation.
Maintenance and protection
Raw fir must be protected before first use. Without a finish, it quickly absorbs dirt. Options: varnish (maximum protection), oil-wax (natural appearance), paint (colour personalisation). For a main staircase, a 2-coat varnish is recommended. Renewal every 5-7 years. Cleaning: damp cloth, neutral pH.
WoodUp Advice
The BAVAT Fir is the economy version of the model - it offers exactly the same dimensions as the BAVAT Beech and the BAVAT Oak, for a lower budget. Fir is perfectly suitable if the staircase is intended for standard family use with a quality finish. It is also the only BAVAT that is easy to paint - if you want a white or tinted staircase, this is the version to choose.
Good to know before buying: fir is significantly less dense than beech or oak (420 vs 680-700 kg/m³). On a main staircase with heavy traffic and children, the steps may show marks more quickly. A quality varnish and regular renewal compensate for this difference in natural durability.
Frequently asked questions
Can the BAVAT Fir be painted white?
Yes. Fir is easy to paint. Apply a coat of pore-filling primer, then 2 coats of acrylic wood paint (satin or semi-gloss for a staircase). Sand lightly between coats. A fir staircase painted white is one of the most popular finishes for contemporary interiors - paint also provides very good protection for the wood.
What is the difference in durability between the BAVAT Fir and the BAVAT Beech?
Fir (420 kg/m³) is significantly less hard than beech (680 kg/m³). With intensive use, fir treads may show marks and scratches more quickly. With a reinforced varnish and regular maintenance (renewal every 5 years), fir remains perfectly acceptable. For very heavy traffic (large family, main staircase), beech or oak offer superior durability.
Does the BAVAT Fir have the same packaging as the BAVAT Beech?
Yes, the packaging is identical. Both versions are delivered in 5 packages: stringers (3060x220x70 mm / 17 kg), quarter-turn section (1060x550x120 mm / 24 kg), newel posts (2000x150x80 mm / 7 kg), treads (770x330x220 mm / 23 kg) and risers depending on version (750x200x220 mm / 14 kg). The only difference between the BAVAT Fir and the BAVAT Beech concerns the wood species, not the structure or packaging.
Can the BAVAT Fir be trimmed?
Yes. Trimming is done on the stringers according to the chart in the instruction manual. Fir is easier to trim than beech or oak - a jigsaw with a fine wood blade is sufficient. For a clean cut, use a circular saw with a guide. Check the floor-to-floor height on finished floor and ceiling before any trimming.
Can the handrail be fitted after the BAVAT Fir is assembled?
Yes. The handrail is optional and can be fitted after the staircase is assembled. On a quarter-turn top, the handrail is not reversible - its direction corresponds to the direction of the staircase ordered. The fixings are included with the handrail.
What paint do you recommend for a fir staircase with children?
For a fir staircase with heavy traffic and children, an acrylic floor and staircase paint in satin finish (EN 71 toy standard for areas accessible to children) is recommended. Apply a bonding primer, then 2-3 coats of paint. Avoid gloss paints (too slippery) and oil-based paints (slow drying, strong odour).
