Staircase choices add up quickly in a new build, and timber is one of the few decisions where the finish changes the best material. If your stairs will be painted or carpeted, pine staircases in Melbourne are worth considering, because showing off premium grain is not the goal. Planet Stairs is a Ravenhall family business that designs, manufactures and installs staircases, balustrades and handrails.

Why Choose Pine for a Painted or Carpeted Staircase?

Our staircase services page lists pine and MDF as more affordable options for clients who plan to paint or carpet their stairs. Both are non-hardwood options, so they are not a substitute for a feature timber where the grain will be seen. Where the timber will be covered, paying for a premium species may add little to the finished result.

Our earlier guide to timber staircase options recommends a pine riser and a pine tread if you are painting the staircase. It also notes that carpet will wear over the life of a staircase, because stairs see a lot of foot traffic.

What Should You Plan Before Pine Staircases in Melbourne Are Made?

Material cost is only one part of the budget. Early decisions on layout, finish and surrounding components keep the specification focused. The NCC 2022 Housing Provisions on stairways and ramps cover stairways, landings and slip resistance, so your designer or builder should confirm which requirements apply to your project. Points to settle early include:

• Finish: Decide whether the stairs will be painted or carpeted so the timber and construction suit it.
• Layout: Confirm the floor area, the direction of travel and the connection between levels.
• Balustrade: Choose between timber, wrought iron, stainless steel bar or stainless steel wire to suit the design.
• Handrail: Timber and stainless steel handrails are both available, with details such as nosing and bullnose profiles.
• Requirements: Check with your builder or certifier which rules apply to your plans.

How Does Planet Stairs Fit the Staircase to Your Plans?

We design, manufacture and install contemporary, traditional, custom, curved, geometric and open-riser staircases. For pine staircases in Melbourne, that means the layout can follow your plans instead of forcing a standard stair into the space, with materials and finishes chosen for your budget and design goals. Our services page also describes a custom approach, so the choice of timber can be made alongside the stair layout.

Balustrades and handrails come in timber, stainless steel, wrought iron and stainless steel wire, so the whole stair can be coordinated with the finish. Newel posts and stair nosing are made to match, which helps the finished stair look consistent. A painted staircase can be matched to wall colours and joinery, and a carpeted one can follow the flooring chosen for that level.
