Why SteepWood for timber staircases in Newcastle
Newcastle homes and businesses — from Federation cottages in Hamilton to coastal residences in Merewether — demand joinery that combine structural compliance, safety, and a design feature worthy of the home's entrance. SteepWood services Newcastle from our Newcastle workshop — 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.
We also serve Newcastle's commercial market: cafes and restaurants along Beaumont and Darby Street, retail tenancies in Marketown and Charlestown Square, professional offices around the CBD, and hospitality fitouts across the Hunter.
