Measuring for a staircase
When you need a staircase for your home, there are several important measurements to take. On this page, you will find an overview that guides you through the staircase measurement process, making it easy to determine which staircase fits your specific needs and home.
WOOD TYPES AND SURFACE TREATMENT
SOLID OAK - NATURAL OILED
Treads and handrails are made of high quality FSC-certified wood and sealed with oil. The oil treatment highlights the structure of the oak and gives it a warm and darker tone. The oil protects the surface of the wood, emphasizes the aesthetic qualities of the wood and ensures an excellent, natural finish. At the same time, the oil makes the wood more resistant to water and stains. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a soft surface that feels natural, where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood.
SOLID OAK - WHITE OILED
The solid oak is treated with a white pigmented oil and thereby preserving the bright tone of the oak. The oil protects the surface of the wood and makes it more resistant to water and stains. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth and almost silky surface where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood. Oak is a strong and versatile wood species with a fine and natural structure that creates a beautiful life. All oak used for our treads and handrails is European oak from FSC® certified forestry.
SOLID OAK - VARNISHED
Oak is a strong and versatile wood species with a fine and natural structure that creates a beautiful life. For the DOLLE staircases you can choose to have a staircase with varnished oak, so that you have a surface of the treads and handrail that is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain thanks to a semi-gloss varnish. All oak used for our treads and handrails is European oak from FSC® certified forestry.
SOLID BEECH - NATURAL OILED
Choosing wood for your staircase is often connected to the floor wood type of your home. If you have beech floor you will also often choose to have beech treads/ handrail on your staircase. The oil is absorbed into the beech wood and creates a smooth and almost silky surface where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood. At the same time the oil is a super protection of the wood against water and stains. All beech used for our treads and handrail is top-quality European beech from FSC® certified forestry.
SOLID BEECH - VARNISHED
Choosing wood for your staircase is often connected to the floor wood type of your home. If you have beech floor you will also often choose to have beech treads and handrail on your staircase. We provide top-quality solid beech wood for your stair with a highly durable surface, scratch-resistant and easy to maintain thanks to a semi-gloss varnish. All beech used for our treads and handrail is European beech from FSC® certified forestry.
MULTIPLEX - VARNISHED
Our multiplex treads for ATLANTA and DALLAS are a plywood plate that has a painted surface with a top veneer in beech. The multiplex treads are robust and stable in construction. The multiplex treads are from FSC certified forestry. ATLANTA has reverse multiplex treads (picture) and DALLAS normal multiplex treads.
Small and compact space saving staircases
We have a large assortment of compact space saving staircases. As part of the design for our smallest space saving staircases you have the option to reverse treads and shape the staircase into the space you have to work with. You’ll be amazed to see what can be achieved even when space is at a premium. All DOLLE staircases are manufactured to the highest standards with the ideal blend of Scandinavian design and quality finish.
Paddle stairs
In our space saving staircase range we offer quite some models with paddle tread they are e.g., our ROME, AMSTERDAM, GRAZ, BERLIN, ATLANTA and BASEL stairs. Paddle tread provied a bigger foot space (going) when you learn to walk them. You can view detailed measurements on each product for each layout helping you design a staircase that’s right for you.
We don’t compromise on safety
You can finish your stairway project by installing a landing banister at the top of your staircase. We have a wide selection of landing banister and handrails We can recommend our Classic Landing banister with vertical balusters less than 100mm gap which is a requirement in some building regulations. This landing banister come in four colours: black, white, anthracite and pearl grey.
Stairs for loft conversions
Space saving loft stairs are ideal to access your loft space or conversion. They are designed to take up the least amount of floor space in your living area. At DOLLE we have developed a large space saving staircase assortment. You can choose your ideal tread option. Our DALLAS comes with multiplex treads but we offer a number of different wood finishes.
