Stairs going in

Not complete . Glazing on sides to go in later - very happy with it so far .

How are those parts/steps held together?

I’d say magic but it’s not true ! . There’s a steel frame on the far side ( between tiled wall and stairs . They are effectively cantilevered . But each box rests on the previous so ultimately the ‘strain’ is taken from the big bottom step ( has a good chunk of timber and steel in it )

What's the plan for banister/handrail? 

 

Or are you getting Stanna in for a stairlift?

Amazing

@Pocster You sexy futhermucker.

Now you are going to have to cover them up, to stop them getting damaged. Nobody is going to see them again for several years. 🤣

Glass and brushed steel . But I wanted that installed later as I have “ work to do “ on the stairwell I.e the glass if installed would be in the way

I love the wall behind the stairs. Your own handy work ?

For UcksSake @Pocster, what , how, where, were you when you took this photo? Upside down and hanging from your perch?

 

Despite that, they look gorgeous.

Very stylish. Oak? Who did you get to design / make them?

[BotusBuild]

That, SIr, is a work or art - well done

Yep. Presume it's ok to link to the manufacturer

Glass and bush more like.

No harm in upskirting in the privacy of your own basement.

Glass and handrail going in as we speak . Photos to follow 

[ToughButterCup]

You mean glass - as in walk-on-glass stairs? Oh fer fooetyfook's sake man, don't you ever learn?  😂

[Pocster]

A small piece of glass has been cut wrong so can’t fit that and the rest of the handrails …

[Pocster]

It was clearly far more work to install than anticipated. Original estimation was 3 days ( that’s what it took just to get it to the state of ‘basic’ staircase ) . Last 3 days they’ve realised it all needs adjusting again ! . So will be back for half a day at the end of feb . Total install time 7.5 days . Tbf - it looks like a bitch to install . The treads effectively are floating off the steel - and rest on the one beneath . Adjust one , adjust them all .

Don’t be sad @Thorfun - a few weeks/days lost is small change after 11 yrs . Personally I think they stall the job on purpose as they get all the tea they can drink , a pasty and cake everyday . What’s not to like !!

it's just frustrating though, right? e.g. I fitted our Quooker tap at the weekend. got the boiling water working but there was an issue with the Cube so the chilled and fizzy water wasn't working. now a job that I wanted to tick off as finished is awaiting replacement parts to be able to be finished. it's just frustrating that it's incomplete. that's all. I know it'll be done eventually but I can't cross it off the list yet!
