Traditional Staircase Projects
The Cudham Hall Project
A 19th Century Stately Mansion was converted into elegant apartments, which necessitated an extension to the existing grand staircase.
The Springwoods Project
A beautiful staircase in Virginia Water rising four meters in spectacular style! A simple basement staircase was constructed in a matching design.
The Bellesfield Project
A very substantial private dwelling under construction in Surrey. A visit to our Design department convinced both the main contractor and client that Demax possessed the knowledge and skill to design, construct and install the staircase for this project. Having conducted our own site survey we proceeded to design the stairs on the architects' drawings which exposed errors that would have inhibited both the construction and installation. Our designers reworked the drawings and the building was ready to receive two elliptical staircases.
The Phillimore Project
Demax has worked with the commissioning architect on many projects and were pleased to have been chosen to undertake this work on his own residence.
The Pall Mall Project
The refurbishment of these exclusive offices required a mezzanine floor to be constructed served by a staircase sympathetic to the original staircase. Our Architectural foundry cast the balusters and our Joinery division completed all the Mahogany cladding to the steel carcass. A coffee station was incorporated underneath the stair landing
The Belsize Park Internal Project
How much more traditional can you make a staircase look? This stairs was constructed on our steel carcass system allowing classic flowing lines with no visible supporting structure. Everlasting traditional elegance.
The Duxford Project
We have attempted to offer a range of details for stairs on our web site simply to give ideas to both designers and clients, some traditional and some slightly more contemporary and unusual. Where possible we have shown close-up detail of unusual features.
The Lansdowne Project
Architects Donald Insall were required to design a balustrade for a large ultra-modern property in Cambridge. We at Demax were not initially enthusiastic about the choice of bronze casting or satin brass handrail being incorporated into such a modern environment.
The Thaxton Project
Mr and Mrs Thaxton came to us with completely open minds regarding the design of their staircase except that it should have an 'Italian feel'. The design of the balustrade on this stair appears at first glance to be extremely simple; a closer inspection shows that the use of varying metal sections and overlaps has produced an intricate and pleasing design. The string (side) of the stair is steel that has been artistically painted to give the appearance of stone to compliment the stone flooring. The clients were delighted with the final outcome and this project is a demonstration of the competence of Demax Designs as both designers and manufacturers of fine feature staircases.
The Rodenhurst Project
Demax received a request from clients to produce a design for a feature staircase in their harbour-side home in North Wales. The room had limited space in which to allow a view through the hall to the dining room and harbour view. Both the architect and client were delighted with the result, which can be seen to be a vast improvement over the original old-fashioned wooden stairs.
The Bracknell Project
Few words are required to accompany this stair as it is simplicity at its best, illustrating the fact that with the correct balance and enhancing details a staircase does not have to be overly decorative to give a luxury finish.
The Green Verges Project
The first four treads of this staircase are functional, they allow a very wide angle of entry to the staircase beside being an elegant well balanced feature. The use of Walnut and stainless steel offers a richness with a clean sharp modern edge.
The Latasca Project
Demax has completed the decorative cast metalwork for 41 La Tasca Spanish Tapas bars, plus many other pubs and clubs nationwide. Our main assets for completing these projects on time are our own designers and foundry, which gives us the ability to design and produce all the castings to the correct specification on time. Having an extremely flexible and willing workforce operating with a minimum of supervision is another great advantage.
The Oak Hall Project
Without question our most popular feature staircase design this is the free standing version of our wall fixed Burntwood Avenue model. When free standing justifying the integrity by way of the turning moment loadings and floor loading is vital, fortunately our Engineers have the experience and software to present the required comprehensive calculations. Beware of attempting to fix this free standing model to Block and Beam floors, it is possible but requires early consideration during construction.
The Dennis Lane Project
This is the staircase that caused home designers major problems. It seems that the space required is often totally underestimated resulting in a very steep staircase and restricted space in the area of the main entrance.
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.
The Nicky Clarke Project
This wonderfully ornate stair is a fine example of a straight string staircase utilising castings from our Bird of Paradise range, combined with a solid polished brass handrail to produce a very striking feature staircase.
The Chelsea Project
We were required to supply and fit the balustrading to a new cantilever stone staircase in this London property. The casting was modified slightly from the original design to comply with Building Regulations and was cast in our foundry. This was the first project in which we used laser technology to format the layout of the elliptical handrail, rather than spend days on site manually templating the shape
The Regents Park Road Project
This client wished to upgrade his entire house, including a new staircase to emulate the original early 19th century property. Although plain and simple in detail it has the elegance and simplicity of that period. The Demax steel carcass supports limestone treads and risers and a tradition square balustrade and hand carved hand rail (please note the beautiful lateral carved scroll terminating the hand rail). As an option the stringer could have been painted to match the limestone rather than grey, but that was the client's choice.
The Little Almsworth Project
Firstly May I say the balustrade design was chosen by the architect. Why then have we chosen to include such a basic design on our website?
The Bloomfield Project
An exceptionally clean cut and eye catching external staircase design. A wonderful example of how an external staircase can add class and sophistication to a building. Created using DT8 and DT4 Quatrefoil Treads and our popular DC5 single Balustrades (all featured castings can be found in the new downloadable Demax Casting brochure).
