What makes a great staircase?

A great staircase can go a long way! From price to material to visual aesthetics, there are many things that differentiate a good staircase from a great one. Here are the five key factors to consider when picking your timber staircase.

Staircase material

A staircase made with durable materials will last longer. HEPH staircases have high quality and stability, ensuring safe usage over the years. Wood is the quintessential material for staircases. It is available in a variety of styles and can be more soothing to see every day than other materials like concrete and glass. 

Wood is also more workable than glass, stone, and concrete, making timber staircases the preferred stairs of choice across Brisbane. 

HEPH also only sources timber species from producers who use sustainable, eco-friendly practices. That way, you don’t have to worry about hurting the environment.

Timber colour and staircase appearance

Since a staircase is such an important part of the Australian home, it needs to be aesthetically welcoming and appealing. A cheap-looking set of stairs can damage your home’s overall value and aesthetic. 

The species of the tree used to produce the staircase can affect its appearance. HEPH builds gorgeous staircases that bring about a sense of warmth and coziness. Some of the most elegant timber options include Meranti, Red Mahogany, Burmese Oak, Nyatoh, Durian, and Bamboo. 

Out of all the woods, the Burmese Oak Staircase may just be the best option for you due to its naturally warm and charming appearance. 

Staircase design

A staircase needs to meet safety minimums before other design choices can be made. Once the safety requirements have been met, HEPH can help you find the design that best suits your desires and needs. For example, if you prefer a modern or minimalistic home design, glass stairs may be your material of choice. 

Suitable budget

A staircase with a price tag that soars over your budget can make it a poor choice for your home. The perfect stairs for your home should be affordable, matching your budget and lifestyle needs.
