DESIGN FEATURE - STAIRS WITH LIGHTING

When it comes to a unique factor to customize your stairs and railings there are many different options!

In-stair lighting is an incredible way to improve not only the look of your stairs but the design impact they have. For the lighting to be in the stairs they are customly fabricated to allow LED lights to be inserted behind a stair tread, along a wall, or even added into the railing system. In-stair lighting requires custom measurements and custom drawn designs. It is important to keep that in mind when it comes to the start of the design and installation process! For this unique custom piece it is important to think about it early on!

Check out our social media pages for more photos of these custom design features!

INSTALLATION GUIDELINE AND TIPS

Starting a new build or a renovation project can be very daunting!

When first starting a new project there are many different aspects and components to consider. One of the most important factors to think about is planning ahead! This is important as it will ensure that there is plenty of time to meet each and every deadline that will pop up.

Knowing and considering how every aspect of how a project ties together is important to take into account. You will need to think about what flooring you are planning to use in your home as it will dictate which type of wood species would be best to use on the stairs and railings. With flooring in mind it is important to note that it is best to install the stairs, nosings, and railings prior to the installation of any flooring.

One last factor to consider is that specific stair openings and layouts will allow and accommodate different styles of stairs, railings, or glass based on the design. It is important to assess your project and what may be possible early on in the design process. This will ensure that changes can be made if necessary.

As the industry continues to increasingly get busier each and every day it is crucial to plan ahead and for different steps in the process in advance! Providing yourself with ample amount of time for each step of the project to be planned and installed seamlessly.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to get started on your next renovation project or a new build, please reach out to us and we would be more than happy to help!

DESIGN FEATURE - TREAD CAPS

Have you been looking at your stairs recently and think that they are in need of being refreshed but the structure is still in great shape?

Tread caps are a great way to refresh a set of stairs that are still in good structural shape and are cost effective. Tread caps are installed directly over existing treads! This ensures that the staircase layout and design structure is not changed. By capping a set of stairs allows for a cost effective refresh to occur when the frame and stability of the current stair structure is not the issue.

Along with the addition of tread caps, new railings can reconstruct a space. Combining different materials, such as wood, glass, and steel can create an exquisite railing system to be created into any and all designs.

Check out our social media pages for more inspiration and ideas on how to refresh your home!

DESIGN FEATURE- INFINITY / WATERFALL STAIRS

Infinity stairs, often called waterfall stairs, are the epitome of modern design.

Infinity stairs are designed to make it so that the treads and risers appear to be one continuous piece. In doing so, infinity stairs elevate the design of any space.

These stairs create an eye catching design piece sure to be the focal point of any home.

For more examples of this stunning design feature check out our social media!

Barn Door Track Hardware

Our initial barn door post was viewed 8000+ times so I figured I would focus in quickly and show you how many options are out there for the tracks themselves.  The barn door track has been around 100+ years and has recently exploded in popularity.  There are many different styles, colours and sizes now readily available, many offered strictly online only.

Take a look at a few cool track styles I found online.  Simply searching "barn door track hardware" will yield a few hundred different examples of tracks that are out there and available for purchase. 


Gallery Updated!

We are constantly trying to take decent pictures of every project we complete so you can see what we are up to!  I try to update our gallery once every week with some fresh material for you to see!  We have quite a few followers now and we can't thank you enough for showing interest in what we love to do.

Have a great weekend!

Glass is in!  All we have to do is cap the top with a contemporary maple railing and we are finished.  Love how this job turned out.

Open Part 1 Side Oak Stairs.  We had to build half of this stair on-site and notch it around the steel jack post which will be cladded on a later date.  Job Location:  Snow Valley, Ontario

Really Cool Stairs #4 - Cable Railing Edition

Within the next 2 years, the clause in the Ontario building code that makes horizontal railing systems like the cable railing illegal, will be erased from the code book.  This means that not only horizontal cable systems are ok, you can now install all the fancy scrolls, laser cut steel panels and contemporary wood patterns!
