Oak Central String Staircases:
The Apex of Modern Design

A Masterpiece of Floating Elegance

Redefine your home’s interior with the Oak Central String staircase from Apex Staircases. This exquisite design creates a stunning visual impact, utilizing a single, hidden-strength spine to support the structure.

The result is an innovative design that gives the illusion of floating landings and posts, stripping away the bulk of traditional stairs to reveal a clean, architectural silhouette. Crafted from the highest-quality oak, this staircase perfectly combines traditional elegance with modern engineering, making it a definitive standout feature in any luxury home.

Why the Apex Central Stringer is a Cut Above

An Oak Central String system (often called a "Mono-Stringer") is the preferred choice for homeowners looking to marry the warmth of natural timber with the "open-plan" feel of modern minimalism.

1. The Floating Illusion
By centralizing the support system, we create a cantilevered effect. This allows light to pass through the flight, eliminating shadows and making your entryway feel expansive and airy.

2. Premium Materiality
We don't compromise on timber. Every staircase is fashioned from high-quality, sustainably sourced Oak, selected for its tight grain and structural stability. This ensures that while your stairs look light and "floating," they feel solid and silent underfoot.

3. Engineering Meets Artistry
Our central stringers are precision-engineered to handle significant load-bearing weights without the need for visible wall supports. It is the perfect marriage of innovative structural integrity and bespoke craftsmanship.

Customising Your Central String Staircase

At Apex Staircases, we believe a staircase should be as unique as the home it inhabits. Customize your oak system with:

  • Tread Thickness: Choose from standard or "chunky" 80mm treads for a more dramatic, heavy-timber look.
  • Balustrade Options: Pair your oak with frameless glass for maximum transparency or brushed steel for a contemporary industrial touch.
  • Finish & Tone: From natural clear oils that celebrate the oak's golden hues to modern "grey-wash" or smoked finishes.

Had a wonderful experience with Costi who built our oak frame garden room. From planning to design to build I was informed throughout the entire process. Highly recommended and we have started on the main house stairs
