Measuring for a made-to-measure wooden staircase

Initial measurements for a price indication

A bespoke staircase starts with a clear picture of the available space. For an initial price indication, gather three measurements: the height between floors, the preferred staircase width and the available opening length. Record these in centimetres and explain the points you measured from. A simple sketch and photos help us discuss your requirements. These initial details help explore a design; they do not replace a check of the final measurement plan.

Floor height, width and staircase opening

Measure from the finished floor downstairs to the finished floor upstairs. If flooring is still to be installed or replaced, note the planned finish. Otherwise, preliminary measurements may differ from the final situation. Check the available width at several points and show walls, doors and other obstacles. Both the length and shape of the opening matter when discussing the design.

Photos, turning direction and obstacles

Take overview photos from below and from the upper floor. Mark the starting point and upper exit on your sketch. For a turning staircase, include the preferred turning direction. Show doors that need to open, routes that need to stay clear, beams, sloping ceilings and other restrictions.

From initial measurements to a checked design

Enter your preliminary measurements in the configurator to compare the available models. A 3D preview illustrates the shape, but does not independently determine whether a staircase will fit your home. The walking line, headroom and connections need a review of your actual space. Share your sketch, photos and choices with Esen Trappen so the design can be discussed before production and installation are agreed.
