Building waterfall stairs requires precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of both design and construction. At Royal Oak, with over 30 years of experience, we specialize in crafting stairways that combine seamless aesthetics with durable functionality. Each step, from the treads to the risers, is measured meticulously to ensure a continuous flow that not only enhances the space but also becomes a striking focal point in any home.
Our approach considers every detail, including the diameter of stringers, the placement of rails, and the durability of materials against Toronto’s varying weather conditions. Whether you’re adding a landing for versatility or selecting a traditional handrail style, we ensure the construction aligns with your vision and safety standards. If you’re ready to enhance your space with a staircase built to last, contact us today to discuss your project.
Crafting waterfall stairs is no small feat—it’s an art and a science. Our designers work closely with you to ensure each stair fits your space seamlessly, from the precise measurements of the treads to the middle stringer’s placement for added support. Using advanced CAD programs, we map every curve and calculation to perfection, ensuring the flow from floor to landing is smooth and continuous. Every design step is tailored, one step at a time, to save space and enhance your home’s style.
We focus on using only the finest materials to craft waterfall stairs that combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Wood, a popular choice, offers a warm, timeless look and versatility. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry are often chosen for their strength and ability to withstand wear, while softer woods like pine are perfect for intricate designs. Treads and risers are precisely cut to ensure a seamless flow, creating that signature continuous effect. Proper calculations are key to achieving balance, especially when the stairway includes custom landings or rails. Attention to detail, from grain alignment to finishing, sets our work apart.
Selecting the right style for your waterfall staircase involves blending functionality with aesthetics. The design should fit seamlessly into your stairway space while ensuring safety and durability. For instance, the angle of the treads and risers must align perfectly to prevent a slide-like effect, which often occurs when the measurements are off.
Rails and handrails are typically attached at calculated heights to enhance stability without compromising the beauty of the continuous flow. We determine these factors based on your floor-to-landing dimensions and the surrounding layout. Incorporating modern materials like oak or maple can create a timeless focal point, while subtle design details—like hidden stringers—add versatility.
Wood stairs remain a timeless favourite for their versatility, durability, and natural charm. They fit seamlessly into any staircase design, from traditional to modern, offering a continuous flow that enhances the beauty of the space. The treads and risers can be crafted from a range of high-quality materials like oak, maple, or walnut, ensuring both strength and elegance.
Custom options, such as painting or staining, let us tailor the look to match your project. Proper installation involves precise measurements for risers and landings, ensuring safety and comfort with every step. Wood’s ability to withstand wear makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, and with sustainable sourcing, it’s an environmentally friendly choice too.
Costs for waterfall stairs depend on factors like materials, design complexity, and installation specifics. On average, a basic wood staircase with standard risers and a single landing might start at $7,000 to $10,000. High-end projects with premium materials like oak or glass, continuous flow designs, and intricate details can climb to $20,000 or more. We guide you through options during our free consultation, breaking down material costs, design choices, and potential add-ons like handrails or custom stringers. Accurate measurements and proper calculations ensure the staircase fits seamlessly into your space, avoiding unnecessary expenses or delays.
Safety is always at the core of our staircase designs. We incorporate slip-resistant treads to minimize the chance of falls, especially on busy or high-traffic staircases. Each landing is precisely measured and aligned to create a continuous flow while maintaining stability. Handrails are carefully attached, ensuring they can support significant weight if needed. Stringers are reinforced to provide extra durability, and risers are spaced evenly to promote a comfortable ascent. Every project we undertake meets strict building codes, giving you a secure and functional installation.
Waterfall staircases have become a hallmark of sophisticated design, offering a seamless, continuous flow that connects one floor to the next. Their sleek structure is not just about aesthetics—it’s a functional blend of precision and durability. At Royal Oak, we craft these staircases using advanced techniques like CNC Router Systems to ensure every tread and riser aligns perfectly.
For Toronto homeowners, the choice often boils down to maximizing space while adding a focal point. The versatility of materials like oak, maple, or walnut provides options to suit modern or traditional interiors. Did you know that properly spaced stringers, typically 36 inches apart, enhance both stability and longevity? Small details like these are what set a professionally built staircase apart.
As consumers tastes continue to evolve, interior stairs continue to be a focal point in many new homes and home renovations. Because of this, quality and selection of product is very important to accent the interior of any home. Royal Oak meets both the structural and aesthetic needs for a wide range of stair installations. All types of wood species are available, including Oak, Maple, Birch, Beech, Ash, Mahogany, Walnut, Jatoba, reclaimed Elm and Cherry to name a few. ‘Wall supported’ or ‘Freestanding’ curved staircases are available with an unlimited range of custom components, including custom handrail profiles and custom balusters.
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. Peruse our gallery showcasing prior work, then contact us to discuss options.
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 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 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. Our expert craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure reliable, beautiful winder box stairs tailored to your needs and space.
Design is the form of art that has a defined purpose and a rigorous form. But it can be transformed drastically when someone other than the artist brings some goal to it. The portfolio showcases our designer’s creative range.
