DESIGN FEATURE- OPEN RISE STAIRS

Open rise stairs have become a popular design feature in recent years.

When used in the right design, open rise stairs become a focal point that accentuates a large, open space. Open rise stairs are a contemporary design feature that provides a minimalist aesthetic and immediately modernizes a space.

Open rise stairs meet Ontario Building Code. They are an excellent way to provide unobstructed views and allow more light into any space. Open rise stairs best compliment open floor plans and ensure a clean finish in every design.

Check out our Instagram for more photos of these stunning stairs!

Design Feature- Glass Inserts

As summer is upon us, now is the best time to consider adding a glass feature to your home!

The use of glass as a guard, whether it be indoor or outdoor, can truly transform a space. As many of us continue to work remotely, why not take advantage of the situation and make your space as inspiring as possible.

Glass is a feature that can be included in many different ways. Glass can be used as a guard, incorporated into the railing design, or as a wall itself. The use of glass in any design adds a high-end custom finish to the project. The addition of glass to any space also immediately makes it more open and bright, while maximizing the views of any location.

Lead Times & Material Costs

We are so fortunate to have continued to stay so busy despite the adversities we have all faced this past year. However, we have experienced some major changes that have affected our lead times and material costs. It’s no secret that the cost and demand for construction materials across the board has increased significantly in the last several months; along with material shortages & delays, we have seen Lumber increase by 23%, Glass increase by 18% and Steel increase by 15% all since January 1st, 2021. We have done our best to absorb these increases for as long as possible, but have reached a point where we can no longer continue to do this. As a result, we will be adjusting our pricing to reflect these increases.

As always, we aim to be fair & honest with our customers and we appreciate your patience with us as we navigate these challenges and do our best to keep things running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

INSTALLATIONS

With any new project, whether it be a renovation or a new build, there are always hundreds, if not thousands of details to consider. Each step seems to tie into another and it’s important to know what to expect so you can plan things out accordingly.

We know that it can all seem a little overwhelming at times, so when it comes to your stairs & railings we’ve put together an installation guide to help walk you through what to expect and plan for through each part of the process.

If you’re getting started with your own stair or railing project, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email and we’d be happy to help any way we can!

Steelhaus Inc.

If you've been following us over the past several months you may have noticed that its been a big year for the Stairhaus team. We bought our own building and set up shop in our 300 Vespra location and in the midst of global pandemic, we even started a new business! This past March, our sister company Steelhaus Inc. opened their doors at the 20 Mills location in the south end of Barrie - as you can imagine, starting a brand new business during a pandemic definitely brough it's own set of challanges, but all thanks to the incredible support of customers like you, Steelhaus has been busier than ever.

Steelhaus specializes in custom steel fabrication of many varieties and often times works closely alongside the Stairhaus team to provide customers with top quality, custom steel products. Whether it be c-channel stringers, mono stringers, spiral stairs, custom fabricated railing systems, interior or exterior, Steelhaus does it all!

You'll often see Steelhaus featured on our social media but a great place to keep tabs on the incredible projects they have on the go is to follow their pages as well: you can find them on facebook & instagram at Steelhaus Inc. If you are interested in getting started with your own steel project, don't hesitate to call in or send an email through to info@steelhaus.co and they would be more than happy to assist you.

Thank you again to our loyal customers & supporters, we wouldn't be where we are without you!

Planning Your Project

If you’re beginning or even just thinking about beginning your stair & railing project here are a few tips and things to think about when getting started that help us to provide you with the best estimate we can!

  1. Timeline – Plan ahead! There can be lots of details to consider when it comes to selecting the style, design and material that will work best for your space – it is always best to give yourself time to think about these details and make your selections. Planning ahead also ensures that we have enough time to measure and build so we can do our best to work within your preferred timeline.
  2. Pictures, Plans & Drawings – Sending us any pictures, plans or drawings that you have access to for your project is the best place to start in order for us to put together your budgetary estimate. This gives us a clear idea of the space we are working with and what your options are so we can then factor all necessary detail into your estimate.
  3. Inspiration – Sending us photos – whether it be on our gallery or other social media platforms – that you feel capture the style/design you’re aiming for is very helpful. This ensures that we are on the same page as far as what you envision for the final product so we can better know what options to suggest.
  4. Selections – In order to finalize the details of your quote we will need to confirm the style of your stairs, handrail profile, post and guard style, wood species and hardware finishes. It may sound like a lot but of course we are happy to walk you through these selections and assist in making these decisions. Step 3 is definitely helpful in determining these details.
  5. Quote – Based on steps 2-4 we should be able to get a budgetary estimate to you. Once you’ve had a chance to take a look through if you decide you’d like to move forward with us we just need to process a deposit. After the deposit is received all that’s left to do is schedule your measurements, move forward with production and work toward your installation!

Design Feature - Steel Spindles

As we continue to deal with the current circumstance and adjust to new routines, we are certainly spending a lot more time in our homes. Instead of feeling “stuck at home” why not take advantage of this unique opportunity to invest some time into imagining, designing, creating and transforming your home into a space you truly love. Take a step in that direction and think about your stairs.

One of the most popular guard options we see selected are steel spindles. They are simple, versatile, available in a range of styles and finishes and are compatible with virtually any design option. Whether it be sleek and industrial, a modern farmhouse, or a rustic cottage on the lake – steel spindles are the perfect, timeless detail to compliment the elements you love.

Check out our social media for more photos and design inspiration!

COVID-19 & Stairhaus/Steelhaus

Wow, what a wild time in our lives! We take the COVID-19 outbreak very seriously here at The Haus and wanted to let you know that we are doing everything we can to make sure our employees/customers are not exposed to this nasty illness.

We are not shutting down, we are not limiting our hours however we are closely monitoring who we see, our showroom visits and shop tours.

We hope this passes over sooner than later so that things go back to normal. Stay safe out there!

We're MOVING! Details below, check it!

Stairhaus is Moving!

From the day this business began almost 5 years ago, our team has worked with a vision of something greater in mind. As this business has grown, bringing with it both new challenges and new milestones it is incredible to see just where that vison has taken us today.

If you’ve been keeping a close eye on our website and social media you may have noticed our latest news – Stairhaus has purchased its very own building! This new shop is 3x larger than our current facility, allowing for improved production, state of the art equipment and ample space to accommodate our present and future needs. We believe this new building will serve us and our business far better so we can ultimately serve you better! It is loyalty and support from customers like you that has fueled and launched our success, making this move both possible and necessary. With that being said we are very aware that a move like this requires a lot of time and attention to complete and your continued support would be greatly appreciated.

To ensure that this move goes as seamlessly as possible, we have decided to shut down production from February 3rd-7th. During this time, you will still be able to contact our office via phone or email and while we will do our best to respond as promptly as possible, we ask for your patience and understanding as responses may be delayed. Our plan is for production to start up again in our new shop as of February 10th. While our shop location is moving, our office location and contact information will remain the same until further notice.

We thank you again for your continued support and we look forward to continuing to do business with you in our new location!

 

Sincerely,

Stairhaus
