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.
