Curved Staircases
What makes a curved staircase different from a spiral staircase?
A curved staircase follows a smooth, sweeping arc with gradual turns and no central column, often used as a dramatic architectural feature. By contrast, a spiral staircase rotates tightly around a central axis, making it more compact.
Are curved staircases harder to build?
Yes, they require greater craftsmanship and precision than straight or spiral stairs. Our in-house team specialises in advanced joinery and complex curved designs, ensuring both strength and elegance.
Can you install curved staircases across the UK?
Yes – we design, manufacture, and install curved staircases UK-wide, delivering bespoke solutions for residential and commercial properties.

FAQ
What is a curved staircase?
A curved staircase follows a continuous arc or sweeping curve, creating a flowing ascent without sharp corners or a central support column. Unlike straight stairs, a curved design brings elegance, fluidity, and a strong architectural presence to a property. Each one is custom-built to suit the dimensions and style of its setting, making it a striking centrepiece as well as a functional feature.
How is a curved staircase different from a spiral staircase?
A curved staircase sweeps gracefully through space with broad, comfortable treads and no central pole. It requires more floor area but provides a smoother climb and an elegant design statement. By contrast, a spiral staircase rotates tightly around a central column, making it compact and space-saving, but less spacious to walk on. Both are beautiful in their own way, but curved staircases are chosen for comfort and luxury, while spirals are chosen for efficiency and footprint.
How much space is needed for a curved staircase?
The space required depends on the radius and layout of the staircase. A curved staircase generally needs more floor area than a spiral staircase because of its sweeping design and wider treads. While compact versions are possible, most clients choose curved staircases to enhance open spaces such as entrance halls or feature living areas, where the arc can be fully appreciated.
Do curved staircases comply with UK Building Regulations?
Yes. All our curved staircases are designed and built to meet UK Building Regulations, ensuring safety, structural integrity, and usability. This includes requirements such as tread dimensions, consistent riser heights, appropriate handrail positioning, and spacing between balusters. Our design team works with building control officers to ensure every installation is fully compliant.
Can curved staircases be used in small spaces?
While curved staircases typically need more room than spiral staircases, they can be adapted for smaller settings. Compact designs with tighter radii and lighter materials, such as glass and steel, can achieve the look and flow of a curved staircase while fitting within limited space. Each project is tailored to the property so the staircase enhances rather than overwhelms the interior.
Do you offer wooden, steel, or glass curved staircase options?
Yes. We design and manufacture wooden curved staircases in premium hardwoods such as oak and beech, as well as modern curved staircases using steel and glass for a contemporary aesthetic. Hybrid designs are also available, combining materials for strength, transparency, and visual impact. Every finish is bespoke and can be matched to your interior style.
Can a curved staircase be retrofitted into an existing property?
Yes. Curved staircases can be designed and installed into existing homes and buildings, though careful planning is essential. Structural considerations such as floor openings, ceiling heights, and load-bearing elements are assessed during the design stage. Our craftsmen work closely with architects, builders, and clients to ensure the staircase integrates seamlessly into the existing structure.
How long does it take to design and install a curved staircase?
The timescale depends on the complexity of the design and the chosen materials. Bespoke curved staircases typically involve a detailed design phase, structural planning, precision manufacturing, and skilled installation. As a guide, the process can take several weeks from concept to completion, but each project is scheduled carefully to meet client requirements without compromising on craftsmanship or safety.
Are curved staircases more difficult to build than straight stairs?
Yes. Curved staircases require advanced joinery, precision engineering, and careful structural calculations. Each component, from the treads to the handrails, must be crafted to exact radii and align perfectly to create a seamless arc. This complexity is what makes curved staircases highly bespoke and why they are regarded as one of the most elegant forms of staircase design.
Do curved staircases require more maintenance than other stair types?
No. A curved staircase requires no more maintenance than a straight staircase. Routine care depends on the materials used — hardwoods may benefit from occasional refinishing, glass should be kept clean for clarity, and steel or metalwork may require simple polishing. With proper care, a curved staircase is as durable and long-lasting as any other staircase type.
Are curved staircases safe?
Yes. When designed and installed to UK standards, curved staircases are extremely safe. Their broad treads, continuous handrails, and gradual turns make them comfortable to ascend and descend. Additional safety features, such as non-slip finishes and balustrades, can be incorporated where needed, ensuring suitability for both family homes and commercial settings.
Are curved staircases suitable for commercial properties?
Absolutely. Curved staircases are often chosen for hotels, offices, and showpiece commercial interiors because of their visual impact and smooth circulation. They can be engineered to meet the higher usage demands and regulatory standards of non-domestic buildings, combining durability with striking architectural presence.
Can you install curved staircases across the UK?
Yes. Our Warwickshire-based workshop designs, manufactures, and installs bespoke curved staircases nationwide. We provide full support from design consultation to on-site installation, ensuring every project is delivered to the highest standard, wherever you are in the UK.
Can a curved staircase be customised to match my interior style?
Yes. Every curved staircase we produce is fully bespoke. From the choice of materials — hardwood, glass, or steel — to balustrade design, tread finish, and handrail detailing, each element can be tailored to suit your architecture and interior scheme. Whether you want a traditional wooden curved staircase or a modern glass feature, we’ll design it around your style and vision.
