WOOD TYPES AND SURFACE TREATMENT
SOLID OAK - NATURAL OILED
Treads and handrails are made of high quality FSC-certified wood and sealed with oil. The oil treatment highlights the structure of the oak and gives it a warm and darker tone. The oil protects the surface of the wood, emphasizes the aesthetic qualities of the wood and ensures an excellent, natural finish. At the same time, the oil makes the wood more resistant to water and stains. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a soft surface that feels natural, where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood.
SOLID OAK - WHITE OILED
The solid oak is treated with a white pigmented oil and thereby preserving the bright tone of the oak. The oil protects the surface of the wood and makes it more resistant to water and stains. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth and almost silky surface where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood. Oak is a strong and versatile wood species with a fine and natural structure that creates a beautiful life. All oak used for our treads and handrails is European oak from FSC® certified forestry.
SOLID OAK - VARNISHED
Oak is a strong and versatile wood species with a fine and natural structure that creates a beautiful life. For the DOLLE staircases you can choose to have a staircase with varnished oak, so that you have a surface of the treads and handrail that is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain thanks to a semi-gloss varnish. All oak used for our treads and handrails is European oak from FSC® certified forestry.
SOLID BEECH - NATURAL OILED

The oil is absorbed into the beech wood and creates a smooth and almost silky surface where you can both see and feel the structure of the wood. At the same time the oil is a super protection of the wood against water and stains. All beech used for our treads and handrail is top-quality European beech from FSC® certified forestry.

These staircases are designed to provide access to areas like lofts or mezzanines, making the most of your living space. All our space-saving staircases are for indoor use, and they come in various styles, including quarter-turn, half-turn, and straight stairs.
Yes, space-saving staircases can comply with UK building regulations, but there are specific requirements they must meet.
