Custom-Made Saddle-Stringer Staircases

Elegant custom-made wooden staircases: saddle-stringer staircases combine modern design, precision craftsmanship and natural materials.

Saddle-Stringer Staircase – Light and Precise

A saddle-stringer staircase is an exceptionally elegant version of a classic all-wood interior staircase. Its characteristic construction, in which the treads are visibly supported by cut stringers – the so-called “sawtooth” design – gives it an open and refined appearance. Each tread rests securely on the supporting saddles, creating the perfect combination of stability and craftsmanship.

For treads with a visible side edge, the tread extends 30 mm beyond the stringer. As we occasionally receive questions from customers about this detail, we have included this information here.

Design and Construction

The open construction highlights the natural grain of the wood and creates a spacious, bright atmosphere. Depending on the selected wood species, railing design and infill, the staircase can achieve an individual look ranging from classic to modern. High-quality materials and precise craftsmanship make every saddle-stringer staircase a durable, long-lasting feature that blends harmoniously into any interior.
