Contender Slim

Our Contender Slim Staircase is a stylish metal staircase. Its modern design, central stringer, clean lines and glass balustrades will add a contemporary feel to any hallway, creating a dramatic and stylish effect.

Our Contender Slim is expertly engineered to being a self supporting structure made with a 180mm x 180mm central box string which can be fabricated from wood or steel. In comparison to our larger central string Contender Staircase, this architectural design with a smaller central string, allows more natural light to pass through as an open rise stair. The Contender Slim is perfect for smaller spaces or narrow hallways. The Contender Slim can be configured with kites and winders, allowing it to twist and turn in every direction, even to create helical stairs or a curved central spine staircase.

Laser cut steel sheets are then folded and fabricated to create a box structure, that allows for hidden fixings to treads, as well as offering space to concealed wiring looms for integrations with LED lights in the treads

The string is fixed to the floor and ceiling from within inside the string, so there is no visible footplate. Hardwood treads have concealed fixings and sit on top of the ‘z form’ part of central string for a minimalist and elegant effect.

Laser cut steel for accurate fabrication, the central steel spine is folded to create a box structure, fixed to the floor and ceiling from inside the string, so there is no visible footplate, and the last riser is covered. Its hollow section enables us to hide the wiring looms for LED lights within the string itself.

This staircase is a great alternative to the Cantilever Stair as you can create a floating effect staircase without the complex issues of a two stage installation or the necessity of a suitably strengthened side wall.

Materials & Finishes

Treads are made from a variety of hardwoods: Ash, Birch, Oak, Mahogany, Teak or Walnut. Natural woods are chosen for their strength and durability and can be stained or painted to any colour of your choice. We offer an extensive selection of stains and painted finishes which provide a durable finish, whilst still retaining the unique, natural properties of the wood.

In addition to wooden treads, we can also offer variations such steel grids and tread pans that can be filled with concrete or clad in tiles to suit any style of interior or exterior central spine stair.

For an open rise staircase, building regulations require the gap between treads to be less than 100mm. Therefore, a 40mm thickness tread will require a step nose. We also offer thicker tread options.

Glass balustrades are a popular choice with this style to create the floating staircase effect and a contemporary look. Spindles, railings and tensioned wires are available to suit your design requirements. We can colour match to the steel string or timber treads.

Choose from a variety of handrail designs, in natural woods or steel to match or contrast with your treads and to add a finishing touch to your stair design.
