Custom Staircase Services Melbourne

At Planet Stairs, we understand that no two staircases are the same. Every home has its own layout, style, and character — which is why we offer a fully custom approach to staircases, balustrades, and handrails, with a wide range of materials and finishes to suit any budget or design vision.

Timber Types

For clients seeking a premium, natural finish, we offer a selection of top-of-the-range timbers, ideal for polishing and staining to bring out the beauty of the natural grain. Our premium timber range includes:

  • Victorian Ash — prized for its fine, even grain and warm tones
  • Tasmanian Oak — a popular choice known for its strength and versatility
  • Spotted Gum — distinctive, rich colouring with excellent durability
  • Blackbutt — a hardy Australian hardwood with a smooth, contemporary look
  • Jarrah — deep red-brown tones that add warmth and character
  • Merbau — a dense, durable timber with a striking reddish-brown finish

For clients working to a tighter budget, or planning to paint or carpet their staircase, we also supply more affordable options, including pine, MDF, and a variety of other hardwoods — all without compromising on structural quality or finish.

Balustrades

Balustrades are as much a design statement as they are a safety feature, and Planet Stairs manufactures and supplies an extensive range of newel posts and balustrade styles to match any aesthetic — from sleek and modern to classic and ornate. Our balustrade options include:

  • Stainless steel — round or square bar, for a clean, modern finish
  • Wrought iron — available in twist, round, or square bar designs for a more traditional or decorative look
  • Timber — a warm, classic option that pairs beautifully with timber staircases
  • Stainless Steel Wire — a minimalist, contemporary choice that maximises light and sightlines

  • Posts — sturdy, well-crafted newel and support posts to match your balustrade
