Step 1 · Understand Your Staircase Layout

Every great DIY project begins with a clear plan. Take a moment to look at the unique structure of your U-shaped staircase. You'll see two separate flights of stairs running in opposite directions, connected by a turn. This turn might be a single, spacious landing, or a series of wedge-shaped 'winder' steps. Understanding these distinct parts is the first step toward ordering the right number of custom-made pieces to elevate your staircase.
