The Carriage

The carriage is the main support of the stair and acts like a spine on which the treads sit. In the case of the Knock Design staircase the carriage has a very distinctive style. It is made from a series of steel boxes which have been cut diagonally in order to create sharp angular lines. The front and side profile of the carriage is slimmer than on other stairs in order to create as much free space as possible underneath the stair and to help the flow of light around the stairwell. The system employed is very strong and even allows the stair to stand free of supporting walls if none are available. You can choose which colour you want the carriage to be and you also have the option to add decorative patterns and stainless steel masks to them if you wish. An optional lighting system is also available in the form of LED's that are hidden within the carriage sections. The lighting produced is low level and soft and enhances the sophisticated look of this staircase at night. It can be controlled remotely using wi-fi.

The Treads

The treads of the Knock Design Staircase are made from 40mm thick boards of top quality hardwood. They are factory finished with two coats of varnish and are a beautifully tough walking surface. There are a number of standard colours for you to choose from or if you prefer you can supply a sample of your own wooden floor and we will match the colour.

The Balustrade

One of the great things about the Knock Design Staircase system is that you can pick and choose from many different types of balustrade. There are horizontal steel tubes like in these pictures and also vertical tubes, cables, glass panels and many more beside. Whichever you choose will have a profound effect on the overall style of your staircase and just in case you should ever feel the need to refresh the look of your Knock Design the balustrades are completely interchangeable.
