STYLE OF STAIRCASE CONSTRUCTION
At CPR Staircases we manufacture our standard closed riser staircases using the traditional English method. This style of construction involves the use of glue blocks and wedges. The glue blocks are nailed to the underneath side at the intersecting point where the tread and riser meet. The wedges are fixed firmly into the underside of each tread and the back face of the riser.
ANTI-SLIP APPLICATIONS
1. Various paint companies have introduced a paintable product that you apply directly to your staircase treads that makes it compliant with anti-slip requirements. For more information on these products, please contact individual paint suppliers direct.
2. Anti-slip strip tape can be adhered to the front edge of each tread.
3. Asbraloy recessed slip resistant safety tread insert with silicon carbide mineral inserts can be recessed into the front edge of timber treads.

Staircase, Handrail and Balustrade components
STANDARD CLOSED RISER
This is the most common form of staircase manufacture and the most cost effective way to build a staircase. It’s a great way for creating extra storage or cupboard space below your staircase.
OPEN RISER
This is a great style of construction if you’re looking to maximize the openness of a room size. This type of construction is used both internally and externally.
CUT STRING
There are various types of cut string construction. The more traditional cut string style highlights the tread and riser profile and adds great character to your staircase.
CUT STRING BETWEEN WALLS
Cut string between walls (Concealed from view) is a smart and modern way to showcase your staircase.
CENTRE SPINE
Centre spine staircase construction can be fabricated using either metal or timber. The metal centre staircase spine has metal plates welded to the spine with the timber treads screw fixed to the metal plates. It adds a great industrial feel to your staircase.
CENTER SPINE 2
The timber center spine staircase has a boxed timber spine with timber treads fixed to the spine. It’s a contemporary looking staircase at its best.
CURVED
Whether modern or traditional, curved staircases add sophistication to home. Curved staircases can have a singular curved string or twin curved strings.
