What makes a classic staircase timeless?

Classic staircases are characterized by distinctive shapes, straight lines, and refined finishing touches that have stood the test of time for generations. Straight, projecting treads, solid stringers, and a warm wooden handrail: each element contributes to a harmonious whole with an authentic look.

Characteristic features of a classic staircase:

  • Straight, protruding nostrils
  • Solid corner posts
  • Wooden balusters or plank railings
  • Elegant railings made of wood or wrought iron
  • Timeless and balanced proportions

Classic staircases for any interior

Whether you live in a townhouse, a country villa, or a classic parsonage-style home, a classic staircase fits into any interior—provided you choose the right type of wood and finish. White-painted steps blend perfectly with a rustic setting; dark oak restores a mansion’s dignity.

Our sales representatives, Arnaud and Charlotte, are happy to help you determine which style and type of wood best suit your home. A free consultation will help you get a clear picture of the possibilities.

Our own sawmill: quality guaranteed

What sets Trappen Demunster apart from ordinary staircase manufacturers is our in-house sawmill. We select our own logs in the forest, cut and dry the wood at our facility in Deerlijk, and then craft it in our workshop. This allows us to maintain complete control over quality—from tree to step.

For classic staircases, we prefer to use oak or beech. Oak is our absolute favorite: it offers a warm appearance combined with exceptional durability, and its natural grain pattern gives each staircase a unique character. Beech is a strong, budget-friendly wood with a sleek, uniform appearance—ideal for those who want a timeless staircase that offers excellent value for the money. Other types of wood are available, depending on the desired look and budget.

FAQ — Traditional Stairs

The price of a classic staircase depends on the type of wood, dimensions, type of railing, and finish. Request a free, no-obligation quote using our quote request tool—we’ll send you a detailed proposal within a few days.

Yes. We always assess whether the existing structure can be preserved. Refurbishing a staircase with new steps, balusters, and a handrail can give an outdated staircase a whole new lease on life.

On average, please allow 6 to 10 weeks from quote to installation, depending on the complexity of the project and our schedule. We will agree on a specific date during the site visit.

For a classic staircase, we generally recommend oak or beech: oak for its warm, unique grain pattern and durability, and beech for its sleek appearance and excellent value for the price. We’d be happy to help you make your choice.
