Why a Custom Staircase Suits Concord Homes
Much of Concord’s housing stock is detached and backsplit homes from the 1970s and 1980s in pockets like Glen Shields, alongside newer builds in Dufferin Hill. Older homes often have narrow, closed-in staircases that block light and waste space, while newer homes have the ceiling height for a bolder design. A custom build answers either case because it is measured to your layout rather than forced to fit a standard kit.
Four Benefits That Actually Matter
- Exact fit for your space: Split levels, backsplits, and narrow hallways are where stock stairs fail. A custom staircase is drawn to your dimensions, so no space is wasted.
- Safety built to code: We build to the Ontario Building Code, including handrail height between 865 and 965 mm from the nosing and a maximum 100 mm gap between balusters, with wider treads and lower risers that suit children and seniors.
- Higher resale value: In a competitive Vaughan market, a clean, well built staircase signals a well kept home and is one of the first things buyers notice on a showing.
- Design freedom: Wood, metal, and glass can be combined to match your interior rather than settling for whatever a builder installed.
Staircase Styles Worth Considering
- Floating Stairs: Open risers that keep sightlines and light, ideal for newer open concept Concord homes.
- Curved Staircase: A statement centrepiece for larger foyers with the room to carry it.
- Straight Stairs: Clean and cost effective, a strong fit when updating an older backsplit.
- Spiral: A space saving option for tight footprints, basements, or loft access.
Materials and Railings
Wood brings warmth, powder coated metal offers slim strength, and tempered glass keeps a space open and bright. The staircase and its railing should be planned together, so pair your design with Glass Railings or custom Stair Railings to finish the look as one piece.
