Wayfarer Staircase
String from sides

Stairs with strings fixed from the sides can both be classic and contemporary in style. Our Side String range consists of laser cut steel options: Wayfarer, Challenger and Nacra style stairs can be made from stainless steel, painted steel, corten steel and galvanized steel. All 3 styles can be suitable for interior and exterior stairs. Alternatively our Cadet style stair is made from timber strings and suitable for interior stairs.

Challenger

The Challenger staircase is a popular choice for its contemporary styling and is often referred to as the Zig-Zag staircase. The steel strings are slim and subtle, cleverly designed with the treads fixed neatly between the strings.

  • Striking Zig-Zag design
  • No visible fixing element - gives the look of a seamless 'floating staircase'
  • Self-supporting design - no requirement for newel posts for a contemporary look
  • The design can suit individual run and rise requirements incorporating kites and winders
