Why SteepWood for timber staircases in Adelaide
Adelaide homes — from Federation and Tudor residences in North Adelaide and Unley, to coastal properties in Glenelg and Brighton — demand joinery that combine structural compliance, safety, and a design feature worthy of the home's entrance. SteepWood services Adelaide from our Newcastle workshop — Freight only (2–3 day transit) — with the design literacy of a premium boutique joiner and the pricing flexibility of Hunter-based manufacturing.
We work with a comprehensive range of Australian and imported hardwoods: Tasmanian oak and Victorian ash for their warmth and workability; Spotted Gum and Blackbutt for outstanding hardness and durability in high-traffic stairs; American oak for a finer grain and that slightly European character that suits contemporary and coastal designs. For stairs that will be carpeted, treated pine provides an economical and structurally sound base.
