We Design and Craft Custom Enclosed Staircases

Every enclosed staircase should feel like a natural extension of your home—seamlessly integrating with your existing design while adding modern elegance and durability. That’s why we collaborate with homeowners, builders, and interior designers to create bespoke enclosed staircases that fit your space, taste, and lifestyle.

Using cutting-edge CAD software, including AutoCAD and SolidWorks, we map out each staircase with millimeter precision—ensuring perfect alignment between steps, railings, and surrounding walls. Whether you prefer a bold, industrial metal staircase, a sleek wooden staircase with oak treads, or a visually striking staircase with glass elements, we’ll craft a custom masterpiece tailored to your house and interior vision.

Choosing the Right Railings for Staircases

Railings do more than complete the look—they boost safety, enhance the design, and reinforce the durability of custom stairs. The perfect railing blends style with function, maintaining an open, inviting atmosphere while requiring minimal upkeep.

Glass Railings for a Sleek, Modern Design

Crystal-clear and effortlessly stylish, glass railings give enclosed staircases a contemporary touch while keeping spaces bright and open. These panels, secured with top-grade hardware, provide safety without blocking light. A great choice for modern residential homes, where an airy, spacious feel is a priority.

Wood Railings for a Timeless, Lasting Impression

There’s something special about wood—it’s warm, elegant, and always in style. Whether it’s oak, maple, or another high-quality wood species, wooden railings pair beautifully with wood stairs. They offer a secure grip and seamlessly match different floors and interiors, creating a cohesive, inviting atmosphere.

Metal Railings for Strength and Durability

Built to last, metal railings bring a functional yet striking look to enclosed staircases. Powder-coated steel and anodized aluminum resist wear and require little maintenance, making them an excellent long-term option. Ideal for both classic and contemporary homes, they stand the test of time while adding an industrial edge.

How Long Does Floating Stairs Installation Take

Time is key when building enclosed staircases. The entire process usually spans 2 to 4 weeks, depending on materials and design complexity. Wooden staircases with intricate detailing take longer, while metal-framed options can be installed more quickly.

Every stage, from structural framing to the final finishing details, follows a carefully coordinated timeline. Installing risers, securing the frame, and ensuring perfect alignment all take time to get just right. If glass panels are part of the design, extra care is needed to maintain clarity, stability, and safety. Adjustments to wood railings or custom metal features might extend the timeframe slightly, but we always keep the project on track and deliver within the expected schedule.

Sustainable and Quality Materials for Your Stair Project

Toronto’s unpredictable climate demands stair materials that can handle extreme conditions. Solid hardwoods like oak and maple offer a balance of beauty and strength, making them a favorite choice for enclosed staircases. These woods can withstand temperature changes without warping or weakening.

Moisture control is crucial, especially with Toronto’s freeze-thaw cycles. Wood veneer is a great option, offering stability, resilience, and a polished look without the risk of swelling or shrinking. Unlike some other materials, it keeps its shape and fit over time, making it a smart long-term investment for homeowners.

Every material we use is chosen for both form and function. Whether you want a warm, natural wood staircase or a modern steel-and-glass combination, our enclosed staircases blend durability with design elegance.

We Build Safe and Durable Staircases That Last for Years

A staircase should be more than just stunning—it must be secure. That’s why we incorporate essential safety features into every enclosed staircase we build.

We reinforce stair treads with high-strength mounting brackets, ensuring they remain firm even under constant use. Slip-resistant risers and textured wood step boxes offer extra grip, reducing the chance of slipping. Our best railings, whether crafted from wood, metal, or glass, provide stability while enhancing the overall aesthetic.

To further enhance safety, we use painted steel supports, tempered glass panels, and ergonomic handrails. These features don’t just add security—they create a visually striking staircase that seamlessly integrates with your home’s design and custom stairs.

What is The Average Cost For Staircase Installation in Toronto

The price of an enclosed staircase depends on materials, design choices, and customization. Each staircase is unique. Before installation, we assess your space, staircase width, landing size, and layout to ensure a seamless fit with your home’s interior. Custom stairs require careful planning—both for aesthetics and functionality.

Circular stairs

Circular staircases offer functional ascent and visual splendor, their space beneath providing extra storage. Both practical and decorative, they emphasize architectural style, making grand statements that vastly enhance entryway appearances. Suitable for residential and commercial purposes, Royal Oak Railing & Stair custom-tailors designs per client needs and desires.

Open Concept Stairs

Open Concept Stairs

Contemporary architecture favors visual openness, lightness and simplicity inside. Open-concept stairs align with these trends, complementing minimalist, modern or traditional designs. Comprised solely of treads – horizontal components – spacing remains free, creating an airy, floating atmosphere. Equally functional and safe as enclosed counterparts, they’re beautiful decorative elements too. A major benefit is not partitioning rooms into separate enclosed spaces, ideal for small areas or those lacking natural light.

Straight Stairs

Straight Stairs

Straight staircases boast myriad advantages and design options today, rendering them not just functional but visually arresting. Simplest in construction, they typically cost far less depending on detailing. Their versatility makes them among the most popular, suitable for residences and public spaces alike. Another obvious boon is pragmatism – straight designs ease movement and transporting furniture/goods. With diverse possibilities, straight stairs unite form and function seamlessly. With the help of our team, a straight staircase will fit in beautifully into the design of your space.

Winder Box Stairs

Winder Box Stairs

Winder box stairs charm with unique form and compact design fitting where circular stairs can’t. Perfect for small spaces like cottages or auxiliary attic/basement access, their space-efficient style proves popular in compact, sustainable homes. At Royal Oak Railing & Stair, we ensure Building Code compliance for comfort and safety, installing high-quality railings with handrails in various materials to prevent falls while enhancing visuals.

FAQ

  1. What makes enclosed staircases a popular choice in Toronto homes?

    Enclosed staircases offer a more private, classic look that suits traditional and transitional homes. Their solid side walls create a sense of separation between levels, often making the home feel more structured. We design enclosed stairs that combine elegance with function, using high-quality hardwoods and custom trim to enhance the character and value of Toronto-area homes.
  1. Are enclosed stairs more energy efficient in Canadian homes?

  1. What material options are best for enclosed staircases?

    Hardwood materials like oak, maple, and walnut are ideal for enclosed staircases due to their strength, beauty, and long-term performance.

  1. Do enclosed staircases help reduce household noise?

    Yes, enclosed staircases significantly reduce noise travel between floors, making them an excellent choice for families or multi-generational households.
