Fitting a Curved Stair into Your Budget

Sometimes your design calls for an elegant curved stair, but the budget falls short.  Here are some variations on a full curved stair.  These take up less space and cost less than a full curved stair, while still providing an elegant and unique solution.  These designs save on the cost of stringers and rails, as some are straight and only some are curved.  In general, the less curved pieces you have, the more savings compared to a full curved stair.

 

Here are four curved design solutions for cost savings:

  • The curve 3-Winder has come to the center with a std winder newel, but the back /wall side is curved.
  • By curving only 3 or 4 treads at the bottom/ wall side, you can a dramatic curved start to your stair – the area people look at the most. 
  • Bowing starting treads and risers give you a very elegant curved look, at a fraction of the cost.
  • A hand carved descending volute is costly, but it pulls in curved elegance at a fraction of the cost of a full curved rail.
