The Penny Farthing Project

The Penny Farthing Project

An example of a straight string staircase, which is the alternative to a cut string staircase. This style presents the opportunity to use an alternative range of balustrade panels whilst complying with Building Regulations, rather than balusters that are governed by the depth of tread. This style of stair fits into a square entrance rather than the traditional long narrow shape. The soffit can either be plastered or create a feature as the photograph illustrates. This stair is manufactured in concepts varying from Victorian to a modern design.

Testimonial: Demax designed and built this staircase for our new house 28 years ago, not only has it stood the test of time it has been greatly admired and copied by others. In fact we are still so delighted with the stairs we have recently asked Demax to change the metal handrail to a fine hardwood handrail.
