Elegant Timber Staircases Built to Last
Transforming your staircase into a stunning focal point of your home is more than just an upgrade—it’s an opportunity to infuse elegance and character into your living space. At Elwood Timber Floor, we specialise in staircase renovations that not only enhance the visual appeal of your home but also improve its functionality and value. Our meticulous approach covers every aspect of the renovation process, ensuring a seamless and stylish transformation that you’ll love for years to come.
Step 1: Removing the Old Cover
The journey to a beautiful new staircase begins with the careful removal of the old cover, whether it’s a worn-out carpet, dated laminate, or tired timber.
Our skilled team approaches this task with precision and care, ensuring that the underlying structure is preserved and prepared for the next stages.
By removing the old materials, we set the stage for a complete transformation, allowing the true potential of your staircase to shine through. This first step is not just about removing the old—it’s about clearing the way for something extraordinary.
Step 2: Levelling Each Step
Once the old cover is removed, we focus on creating a perfectly level foundation for your new staircase. This step is crucial, as uneven steps can not only detract from the appearance but also pose safety hazards.
Our experts meticulously assess and level each step, addressing any imperfections or irregularities. By ensuring that every step is uniform and stable, we lay the groundwork for a flawless renovation that not only looks stunning but also feels secure underfoot.
This careful attention to detail is what sets our staircase renovations apart, giving you peace of mind and a beautifully crafted result.
Step 3: Crafting Durable Boxing with Plywood
To enhance both the durability and aesthetics of your staircase, we construct sturdy boxing with high-quality plywood. This process involves creating precise and robust frameworks that provide essential support for the new covering material.
By investing in this crucial step, we add structural integrity to your staircase, ensuring that it stands the test of time. But it’s not just about strength—our expertly crafted boxing also enhances the visual appeal of your stairs, giving them a clean and polished look that complements any interior style.
This is where function meets form, resulting in a staircase that is as resilient as it is beautiful.
A solid timber staircase is a flowing sculpture; every step resonates with richness.
Step 4: Expert Installation of Your Chosen Covering
The final step in your staircase transformation is the installation of the new covering material. Whether you choose the timeless beauty of timber, the modern appeal of laminate, or another option from our extensive range, our team installs each piece with precision and care.
We understand that the finishing touches make all the difference, which is why we take the time to ensure that every element is perfectly aligned and fitted.
The result is a cohesive, stylish staircase that not only elevates the look of your home but also brings warmth, elegance, and character to your living space.
This is more than just an installation—it’s the creation of a new focal point that will be admired by all who visit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Solid timber provides unmatched structural integrity, warmth, and acoustic dampening. Unlike steel or concrete, timber can be refinished multiple times, ensuring its beauty and value last the lifetime of the home.
Closed riser stairs have a vertical board between the treads, fully enclosing the space for a traditional look and improved safety. Open riser stairs leave a gap, providing a modern, airy aesthetic but potentially requiring wider treads.
High-density hardwoods like Jarrah, Spotted Gum, and Blackbutt are favoured by trades. Their high Janka rating ensures minimal tread wear and prevents squeaking or flexing under heavy use.
Squeaking is prevented through precision joinery (accurate cuts and tight fit of stringers and risers) and the liberal use of high-quality, flexible construction adhesive in addition to mechanical fixings during assembly.
Yes, existing structural stairs (often concrete or MDF) can be professionally clad using engineered or thin-profile solid timber treads and risers. This gives the look of a solid timber stair without a complete rebuild.
Installation time varies greatly, but a straight residential staircase typically requires 2 to 4 days of installation, followed by 3 to 7 days for sanding, staining, and finishing/curing, depending on the chosen sealant.
