What affects the price of a staircase?

Question

Accepted Answer

The price of a solid wood staircase is composed of several factors:

**Stair shape:** A straight staircase is the most affordable. Winder staircases (quarter-turn, half-turn, or three-quarter-turn) require more complex manufacturing and are correspondingly more expensive.

**Wood species:** Beech is less expensive than oak. Hevea is preferred for colour-lacquered finishes because it takes lacquer particularly well.

**Variant:** Finger-jointed wood is more affordable than continuous lamella, which offers a more uniform appearance.

**Surface finish:** Clear matt lacquer is the standard. Brushed oak, colour-lacquered, or oiled finishes incur additional costs.

**Extras:** Risers (closed staircase), balustrade railing, profiled newel posts, wall panels, or special ornamentation increase the price. The number of risers also significantly determines the final price.
