Oak staircases are our most popular staircase style and it’s easy to see why it’s so on-trend. Not only is it strong but the warm colour and beautiful natural grain make it one of the most attractive hardwoods which can give your home an elegant and timeless look whether in a traditional or contemporary setting. Caring for your wood staircase will prolong both its beauty and its Wow Factor!
Every staircase has a story and from time to time customers share their staircase stories with us. Mr & Mrs Avery are two such customers, a shortened version of their story can be found in our casestudies but details of their full journey could better help you to imagine how the process could work for you. They’ll take you from their first steps of shopping around, the design and installation process, right through to the completed project.
“Hopefully, the text is not too long but we were keen to express just how delighted we were with the whole experience.” – Mr Avery
We’ve all seen the famous scene of Rocky conquering the seventy-two steps leading to the Philadelphia Museum and it’s widely reported that professional skiers often climb stairs to keep competition-fit. Many models also do the same to keep their legs toned for the catwalk – but how about for the likes of you and I (assuming you aren’t already a Heavy Weight Champion, Professional Skier or Supermodel)? Well it turns out that stair climbing is surprisingly good for us too!
Whether it’s in your hallway or forms part of your living room, your staircase is usually the first thing people see when they enter your home. Yet, despite this it is often the only part of your home that fails to get that much needed makeover.
Once recalled by world renowned author Roald Dahl ‘I do have a blurred memory of sitting on the stairs and trying to tie my shoelaces, but that is all that comes back to me of school itself.’
At the time, staircases may not be in the forefront of our memories but looking back everyone can remember the stairs that the raced down in the mornings and ambled up at night. Or even whether it was where we chased our slinky toys or talked on the phone each evening to our first loves, they are more than just a means of transporting ourselves between the floors of our home.
As ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ continues to rule the airwaves, host Tess Daly was more than happy to give Abbott-Wade 10 out of 10, following a staircase installation earlier this month.
A sunny personality in sunny Sunderland, Mrs Walker was delighted with the whole Abbott-Wade experience and especially the attitude of the fitting team.
“They were a pleasure as well as efficient, respectful, very well organised and above all professional.” – Mrs Walker
