Interior stairs


For the right side house, we decided to pursue a less conventional stair installation using an open tread concept but with a solid industrial style timber finish.  To do this we will use a parallam beam (3.5 inch width treads), with notched stringers placed at the 1/3 and 2/3 increment of the tread.  These will be heavily prepped by sanding the boards, and eventually stained and clear coated. Here are some initial images of the significant preparation underway to make these stairs a reality.
