Classic Curved Stairs
Slattery & Acquroff have been the curved (geometric) staircase builders of choice in Australia for over 80 years. 
The art of building curved stairs cannot be learned overnight. We carefully select and train a specialised team of people who we recognise as having the patience and skills required to visualise, design and craft a geometric stair to the customers' particular requirements.
Company founder, Alec Acquroff learned the art of crafting geometric staircases in Edinburgh almost one hundred years ago. Whilst he would be overwhelmed by the precision and speed of our state of the art computerised machinery, he would instantly recognise our ability to design stairs with a meticulous eye for line and detail as his legacy passed down through the generations.
Modern Curved Stairs
At Slattery & Acquroff, we believe an elegant, beautifully created and functional contemporary curved staircase can be the embodiment of modern architecture. 
Curved staircases that have a highly complex structure, must also meet in-depth building regulations, a demanding architect, and a client with certain expectations. It can be a paradox that the staircase must marry perfectly with the space provided and appear simple and almost effortless when completed.
At Slattery & Acquroff, we believe a contemporary curved staircase must be beautiful and functional. Materials and finish must be of the highest quality. The curved Contemporary staircase design challenges the designer and stair builder on different levels and takes commitment from both parties. Contemporary or modern stair design lets the mind run free, or at least it should, dependent on the ideas and inspiration from all involved. These designs can be gloriously simple using clean lines and unusual materials. They can be curved or just about anything you want. The final detail and design is where Slattery & Acquroff excel.
Often designed to set the tone of the modern dwelling, the contemporary geometric stair can dominate the entrance foyers of larger modern homes or form a home's internal back drop. A staircase will usually follow a curved wall from the ground floor using broad, elegant flowing lines. These stairs can be unsupported or even open riser. Edges are minimal and clean, while balustrades are simple and elegant without being extravagant.
Classic Stairs
Creating staircases of classical style and character, in the true traditions of a particular architectural era is something that you should only trust to the experts.
Whether you are renovating, extending or building from scratch in any of the classical styles such as Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian, Federation, Art Deco or Arts and Crafts, you deserve to have attention paid to the integral design of the stair as well as the finer details.
Combining over 80 years experience with the latest precision manufacturing technology, Slattery & Acquroff will design and build your stair and balustrading in a way that is completely faithful to the architectural era of your home.
Contemporary Stairs
Contemporary or modern staircases unlike classic designs, feature clean sharp lines and utilise a variety of materials and finishes.
Great contemporary architects break away from traditions and seek originality in their work, to create unique designs.
Slattery & Acquroff have been building contemporary staircases for more than 80 years when the cutting edge of modern design was Art Deco. We have evolved from this era and understand how to realise the designs of great architects.
By combining our vast experiences with precision high tech manufacturing and a broad range of materials we can make your wildest dreams of a stunning contemporary staircase come to life.
Cantilevered Stairs
A custom built contemporary staircase is only limited by the designer's imagination, and can make use of a wide variety of materials to produce what are often strikingly original forms. 
Floating Stairs as some designers call them are a prefect example of this design philosophy. This staircase and staircases like these are treated as a work of art. To achieve a result such as this requires workman ship of the highest standards. The open riser construction with the floating 60mm laminated Victorian Ash treads is visually outstanding. The simply glass work and uprights add to the modern piece of art in this corner of the home.
In this case the treads have been cantilevered half the width of the flight. This allows for the enclosed area under the stair to be used as valuable storage space.
Central Carriage Wire Stairs
Glass, stainless steel and of course timber is combined in a staircase to bring together and compliment other materials or features of the home.
The Centre Carriage Wire is a prefect example of this design philosophy. This stylish stair has an open riser construction with a central carriage stringer. Manufactured with select grade Victorian Ash timber, it has a 50*50 HR 04 handrail. Contemporary 50mm stainless steel staunchions with wires are used on the stair and first floor areas.

Contemporary 50mm stainless steel staunchions with glass clamps holding the glass panels in place are used on the stair and first floor areas. The glass panels are available in either clear or frosted finish.
