The Heart of the Home: The Elegance of a Custom Curved Staircase

Imagine the first thing your guests see when they walk into your home.

Their eyes are immediately drawn to a breathtaking, sweeping staircase—a graceful flow of “Old World Craftmanship” that serves as the room’s undeniable centerpiece. That is the striking elegance a custom curved staircase from Great Lakes Stair brings to your home or business.

For over 36 years, our master craftsmen have been building more than just stairs; we’ve been creating “turning sculptures” that are as functional as they are beautiful. A curved staircase does more than connect two floors; it adds a touch of glamour and fluency, creating an open, welcoming feeling that sets the tone for your entire space. It becomes the focal point for conversations and the timeless backdrop for family photos and milestone memories.

More Than Beauty: The Surprising Benefits of Curved Stairs

While their beauty is what first captures your attention, curved staircases are also masters of design and function.

• Remarkably Safe and Comfortable: Don’t let the elegant design fool you; these stairs are incredibly user-friendly. A true curved staircase is built with a natural “cadence”—a perfect flow and consistency in the steps. This symmetrical design makes climbing or descending feel natural and comfortable, so much so that you never have to look at your feet. It’s a stark contrast to the abrupt, 90-degree turns on straight stairs that demand your full attention.
• Space-Saving Design: It’s a common misconception that a curved staircase takes up more room. In reality, a well-designed curved stair often uses less space than a straight staircase that requires a large platform or landing.
• Code-Compliant: Their blend of efficiency, ease of use, and stunning aesthetics makes them an ideal choice, and they are designed to meet all residential and commercial building codes.
