19 . 11 . 2012

When designing a new staircase for your Bentleigh home, we understand that you will want to work with a company whose expertise lies in every single component. Gowling Stairs is and Australian owned and operated company that is committed to providing our clients with the highest quality components on the market, from balustrades and handrails to timber posts and stair nosing. We will endeavour to work closely with you to ensure that the design meets your needs.

Balustrades
We can work with a variety of different balustrades – including timber, wrought iron, stainless steel, glass and wire – ensuring that there is a perfect match for your Bentleigh home. All of these materials are incredibly strong, durable and attractive. We can also provide external balustrades, which are suitable for use on balconies, raised alfresco areas and even around swimming pools.

Timber Posts
The purpose of a newel post performs two functions – it marks the ends of the staircase, as well as supporting the balustrade and/or handrail. Timber is, by far, our most popular post material for Bentleigh because it is highly versatile and complements many different stair styles. The posts are generally 90mm x 90mm or 115mm x 115mm in size and can be either square or turned in shape.

Handrails
We have a choice of timber and stainless steel handrails, each of which will work well with a variety of stair styles. For even more detail in your project, we can incorporate features into the end of the rail, which are usually curved or otherwise decorative. We offer 4 different handrail sizes in timber and two in stainless steel, so we are sure that you will find a perfect match.

Stair Nosing
This is an area that is often overlooked in the creation of a staircase, but the nosing is essential as it frames the edge of your treads and makes them obvious to users (so they are less likely to trip). We offer three different nosings for your stairs – pencil round, square and no overhang. Our Bentleigh customers have found that all three types will work with any décor, from modern to classic.

If you are looking for a company whose expertise lies in every component of a staircase, not just one or two, we hope that you will contact Gowling Stairs. We will work closely with you and each other to ensure that the final design is everything you hoped for. Our balustrades, handrails, timber posts and stair nosing will work seamlessly together to ensure that your Bentleigh home looks its absolute best and that your family is safe in their travels.
