A Blanc de Bierges spiral staircase is a key feature of an award-winning restored 17th century barn in Norfolk.
The staircase is suitable for both interior and exterior use. The non-slip finish coupled with a closed riser are important safety features. All structural components are fully reinforced. There are 48 different versions and landings can be made to specific requirements.
Robert Lord, the architect for the project, said: 'It makes a statement of the style of the conversion as you walk in.'
Hand-crafted components from Blanc de Bierges have been used to create sweeping flights of steps for the waterfront Dolphin Quays development at Poole, Dorset. Two long sets of radial steps lead down from the first floor amenities to the centre of the building, fanning out dramatically at the bottom. Another two flights of straight steps link the first floor and the marina. The creamy-buff step components were specially made for the project. Some 7,500 components have been used in total.
