THE STONE STAIRCASE COMPANYInnovation & Passion in Stone
PLAY
The simplicity of stone is its beauty
and our staircases capture that with
equal simplicity. A staircase is
nothing more than one stone that
rests upon another, offering an
invitation to climb. But a staircase
is also the backbone of a building
that connects every level. To step
on one is to follow a path of small
stones that float in the air to carry
you from one floor to another.
And it is a path that we can fit in
any space – your space – from the
smallest room to the grandest hall.
We want our ideas to fit yours, so
our staircases are designed with
your needs, desires and budget in
mind, so they are both exclusive
and as unique as you are.
We develop new ideas that work
with today’s architecture to create
staircases that are always an elegant
solution to a practical problem.
With our expertise and your vision,
we use the natural beauty of stone
and simple but solid construction
methods to create something both
beautiful and contemporary.

oUR eThicAt The stone staircase company 80 per cent of our work is
with staircases, making us specialists in this area, with tools
– some even developed by us – designed specifically for the
job. We are the designers, engineers, and craftspeople – the
makers and fixers – of your staircase from start to finish.
Although we use modern technology, we still believe in
humans as masters of the process. computers help us draw
our designs and engineering drawings but they are given
life by the hands and tools of the people who carve them,
allowing us to combine the knowledge and skills of the past
with the modern techniques of the future.
oUR seRvicesWe can offer a complete service from consultation, design,
models and engineering drawings through to carving,
construction and fixing of your staircase.
