Renovating your spiral staircase: the points to consider

A spiral staircase is not only a space-saving solution, but also a stylish feature in your home. Whether you’re looking to renovate an existing spiral staircase or have one installed, making the right choices is essential for a durable and attractive result.

A spiral staircase – also known as a winding staircase – winds upwards in a spiral. Unlike a central-spindle staircase, which winds around a central spindle, a spiral staircase has no central spindle. Both are space-saving, but a central-spindle staircase is often even more compact and ideal for small spaces.

• Space-saving – perfect for homes where every square metre counts.
• Visually appealing – from sleek steel to warm wood: a spiral staircase suits almost any interior.
• Versatile – available in countless designs, from sleek and minimalist to classic and detailed.

Yes, virtually any spiral staircase can be renovated. Key considerations include the stability and current condition of the staircase. A renovation may involve:

• new stair tread covers in a wood, concrete or leather finish;
• replacement or covering of the banister;
• a complete refurbishment using sustainable materials.

At Upstairs, we refurbish your spiral staircase to your exact specifications. Thanks to the Upstairs Original Top Layer, our stair tread covers are scratch-resistant, hard-wearing and non-slip. This means your staircase not only gets a fresh new look, but also offers enhanced safety and comfort.
