stair case

I dont think you should carpet anything roughly!!! Simple stair from $ 2400.

Try Stairlock International based in croydon. They are a no frills type of manufacturer, MDF or oak veneered base board. They also cater for the owner builder too.

I used signature stairs in melbourne.

They did a terrific job, but it was pricey due to the american oak, glass balustrades embedded in the stringer and suspended nature of the stair case with an exposed underside

I also had two flights.

the glass hasn't gone in yet, but I couldn't recommend the company more highly. i think the only other company in their league is probably slattery

I think it was around $25k in the american oak, with the glass slotted into the channel.

There's probably three times as much glass in the plans as what you see here for the channel in the stringer, as there is a void upstairs that has glass balustrading, and there is glass balustrading around the side to prevent people falling down the lower flight of stairs.

Most people probably have much more simple staircases and the cost would be a lot lower. It's also a lot less expensive if you have a wall to prop up the staircase - vs floating it the way that I did. I actually had to have the engineer strengthen the supporting beams up the top to enable the void/staircase to work.

There's more detailed plans/photos on my blog.

On my lower flight I had the steps blocked from underneath - a lot less labor - but since you can't see it, it doesn't matter.

The upper flight, is completely exposed (no plaster lining underneath), so you see all the oak from the underside - so there's more labor involved in getting that finish.

I can't wait to see it when it's all stained, floorboards are finished and the glass is in.
