Purpose Made Cut & Mitred String Staircase – London
A purpose made cut and mitred string staircase represents the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design for London properties. As manufacturers with over 40 years of experience, we’ve refined the process of creating these distinctive staircases that combine structural integrity with elegant aesthetics.
What Is a Cut & Mitred String Staircase?
A cut and mitred string staircase features:
- Exposed stair treads and risers visible from the side profile
- Precisely mitred joints where treads and risers meet the string
- Custom-cut string that follows the exact profile of each step
- Clean, architectural lines that create a distinctive visual feature
- Typically manufactured from high-quality hardwoods or premium softwoods
Manufacturing Process
Our cut and mitred string staircases are produced through a balanced approach:
- Initial design and measurements captured using advanced CAD systems
