Materials in Staircase Construction
The foundation for the exceptional quality of a markiewicz staircase begins with the careful selection of materials. Our primary material is premium-quality wood, which gives the staircases crafted in our in-house manufactory their natural beauty and durability for generations. This is complemented by the artisanal integration of staircase elements made from iron, (stainless) steel, bronze, brass, or glass. We take immense pride and joy in crafting hand-forged components, with our talented master craftsmen continually delivering exceptional results.
Our staircases are not just functional but true works of art, captivating with their combination of high-quality materials and timeless aesthetics. To ensure your future markiewicz staircase meets these high standards, it is essential to acquaint yourself with the material’s characteristics and visual features. Selecting materials that harmonize perfectly with the overall architectural concept and interior design is of utmost importance. For us, staircase construction is much more than craftsmanship; with every staircase, we embody the philosophy that guides us every day.
Wood
Wooden staircases from markiewicz stand out for their use of premium wood species such as oak, ash, mahogany, and walnut, which embody both natural beauty and exceptional durability. Every piece of wood selected for our staircases is carefully chosen to ensure timeless elegance and lasting quality.
Iron
Iron is a material that provides staircases a striking presence. While it exudes robustness, it can also showcase an exceptionally artistic touch. This is especially true for markiewicz Art Nouveau railings, which we craft in intricate floral or ornamental designs.
Steel
Carefully selected and meticulously crafted, we incorporate steel into staircase designs to blend contemporary aesthetics with artisanal continuity. The results are staircase structures that are not only functional but also add a striking and modern architectural statement.
Stainless Steel
The word "stainless" evokes associations of high quality, elegance, and sophistication—qualities reflected in the stainless steel balustrades by markiewicz. Our clients are consistently impressed by the masterfully hammered stainless steel finishes, which give these staircases their distinctive character.
Glass
Transparency, as probably the most striking property of the material glass, gives a staircase both lightness and elegance. Glass staircases are particularly popular when it comes to designing open spaces or creating a visually harmonious connection between two (or more) floors.
Brass and Bronze
Brass embodies subtle elegance, while bronze is often admired for its warm, understated appeal. A hand-crafted railing made of brass or bronze by markiewicz captivates with its extraordinary artisanal harmony and beauty. The natural patina of these metals transforms the staircase into a unique masterpiece, seemingly built to last forever.
