THE LOOK AND THE STRUCTURE
From tread to riser.
A continuous oak finish.
The tread is the surface you step on. The riser is the vertical face between one tread and the next. In a closed tread staircase, solid risers fill those spaces, creating a continuous appearance along the flight.
Our system combines oak treads and risers with a metal framework beneath. Glass balustrades can keep views across the room open, while spindle designs offer a more defined outline.
Also called a closed riser staircase, this design suits new homes and renovations where a more enclosed flight is preferred.

Closed steps.
Different ways to finish the space.
See how oak colours, glass, spindles and handrail details give closed tread staircases their own character.
A more traditional entrance
Contrasting treads and risers complement the decorative metal balustrade. The shaped lower flight shows how a closed tread staircase can respond to an individual entrance.

Oak treads with white risers
Natural oak treads stand out against painted white risers. Dark metal spindles and a matching oak handrail complete the contrast.

MAKE IT YOURS
Bring the steps, handrail
and interior together.
With both treads and risers visible, the oak finish plays a large part in the design. Consider it alongside your flooring, doors and balustrade.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Plan the steps.
Consider the space around them.
The opening, finished floor levels and headroom help determine the layout. The first step, arrival at the landing and how the underside is finished should also be considered early.
Send us plans, photographs and approximate dimensions to start a discussion. We can work with you, your architect or your builder to review the details before manufacture.
Replacing existing stairs? Share photographs of the current flight, opening and landing before choosing your layout.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A little more detail
before you decide.
Choosing a finish or checking an existing opening? Send us your drawings or speak to our team.
What is the difference between closed tread and open tread stairs?
A closed tread staircase has solid risers between the steps. An open tread design leaves those spaces open. The main visual difference is the continuous face of the closed flight. If you prefer an open appearance, you can also compare our floating and central spine systems.
Can the oak finish match my flooring?
We offer a wide stain range and colour matching for the premium European oak treads. Share a flooring sample or another finish you would like to coordinate with, and we can discuss the riser and handrail finishes too. Natural oak grain varies between pieces.
Can I choose glass or metal spindles?
Yes. Closed risers can be combined with either glass or a suitable spindle design. The standard online package includes glass and an oak handrail. Metal spindles and other balustrade details are reviewed and priced separately for your project.
Can a closed tread staircase replace my existing stairs?
It may be possible, depending on the floor opening, floor levels, headroom and supporting structure. Send us photographs and any available plans before ordering. We can discuss a suitable layout and identify any related building work that needs to be considered.
Does a closed tread staircase include storage underneath?
Closed tread describes the risers between the steps. Cupboards, storage fittings and underside boxing are separate items and are not included in the standard staircase package. If you want storage beneath the flight, discuss it with us and your builder during the design stage.
How long does a closed tread staircase take to manufacture?
Manufacturing takes approximately 4–6 weeks from approval of the drawings. Design, revisions, delivery and installation are discussed separately around your project programme.
Can my own builder install the staircase?
Yes. We provide installation instructions and advice for customers using their own installer. Confirm the installation scope and site preparation with us. OVOMS installation is also available at an additional cost.
What if the standard layouts do not suit my project?
Share your plans and we can discuss a fully bespoke staircase . You can also explore all four staircase systems if you are still deciding on the overall design.
