Types of Stairs We Fabricate
Custom Wood Stairs:
Custom wood stairs are tailor-made wooden steps designed to fit specific dimensions, styles, and preferences, offering homeowners a unique and personalized touch to their interiors. At 1BENMU, we pride ourselves on being more than just a millwork company. Each of our custom wood stairs is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship and architectural elegance. Fabricated in-house, every step is meticulously designed, carved, and polished, reflecting our expertise in architectural millwork.
Custom Wood Staircases:
A custom wood staircase is a complete assembly of steps, often accompanied by railings and balusters, crafted from select wood and customized to seamlessly blend with and enhance a particular architectural space. As specialists in architectural millwork, 1BENMU creates wood staircases that seamlessly integrate functionality with design sophistication. Our in-house fabrication ensures that each staircase is tailored to perfection, emphasizing both durability and aesthetic appeal, making them the centrepiece of any space.
Custom Wood Banisters:
Custom wood banisters refer to the supportive railings alongside staircases, made from bespoke wood designs, ensuring both safety and a distinctive aesthetic appeal. 1BENMU’s custom wood banisters are where art meets architecture. With deep-rooted expertise in architectural millwork, our banisters aren’t just handrails but an expression of style and precision. Fabricated by our skilled craftsmen, each banister is a unique piece that adds elegance and safety to your stairways.
Custom Wood Handrails:
Custom wood handrails are handcrafted wooden rails, designed for support and safety on stairs or walkways, personalized to match the architectural and design nuances of a space. In the realm of architectural millwork, 1BENMU stands out with its custom wood handrails, blending form and function effortlessly. Each handrail is fabricated in-house, ensuring the highest quality and a design that resonates with the architectural essence of your space. Trust in our craftsmanship to provide handrails that are both sturdy and stylish.
Custom stairs fabrication and installation process
Initial Consultation: We start with a one-on-one in-person or virtual consultation to understand the purpose, design goals, and functional needs of your custom wood stairs and railing project. If you already have drawings, you’re welcome to share them with us in advance. Based on your scope, we’ll provide a rough budget estimate and timeline.
Project Management: Every project is managed by a dedicated project manager who oversees coordination between our design, fabrication, and installation teams. You’ll receive regular updates through our personalized client portal, with each key decision reviewed and confirmed along the way.
Design Support and Shop Drawings: Our in-house design and engineering team works closely with architects, designers, contractors, and property owners to turn concepts into precise plans. Once approved, we develop detailed shop drawings to ensure your custom wood stairs and railing integrates perfectly with your space.
In-House Fabrication: All custom wood stairs and railings are fabricated in-house at our fully equipped millwork shop in Toronto. By combining advanced CNC machinery with skilled craftsmanship, we maintain strict quality control over cuts, joints, and finishes.
General Contracting: If your custom wood stairs and railing is part of a broader renovation, our in-house contractors handle all related construction work, including structural framing, wall prep, drywall, and additional millwork, so everything fits cleanly and seamlessly into place.
Installation and Quality Assurance: Our installation team follows the approved drawings to ensure precise fit and function. After installation, we conduct a final inspection to confirm the project meets your expectations and 1BENMU quality standards.
Materials We Work With
At 1BENMU, we prioritize quality and versatility in our material selections to bring the best to your spaces. Here’s an in-depth look at some of the materials we offer:
Wood Veneer: Wood veneer, a thin slice of wood applied over other materials, offers an array of advantages beyond just mimicking the appearance of solid wood. Its design flexibility allows it to bend and shape, accommodating intricate designs, curves, and detailed inlays that solid wood can’t achieve. Veneers, being sliced from the same piece of wood, ensure a consistent grain pattern and color throughout a project, delivering uniformity especially valued in large installations. Overall, wood veneer presents a versatile and aesthetically appealing option with a multitude of practical benefits.
Solid Wood: There’s nothing quite like the classic appeal and durability of solid wood. It’s sturdy, resilient, and brings a touch of nature indoors. Solid wood is known for its longevity and with the right care, it can last generations. It offers a variety of grains and colors, ensuring each piece is as unique as the tree it came from. Plus, it adds real value to a home, both in terms of aesthetics and property worth.
Microcement: This is a versatile cement-based coating that can be applied to almost any surface, making it a favorite for modern interior designs. Microcement stands out for its smooth finish, resistance to wear and tear, and waterproof qualities. It’s ideal for those looking for a sleek, industrial look with minimal maintenance needs.
By offering a diverse range of materials, 1BENMU ensures that clients have the freedom to choose the perfect material that aligns with their vision, budget, and functional requirements.
