Strataline · Kleinburg, Ontario
The curves were already there. Changing the relationship between the dark treads and white risers made them easier to see. This Kleinburg staircase carries that finish plan through several flights.
Featured project · Kleinburg, Ontario
Dark treads, crisp white risers and coordinated railing details turned a traditional curved staircase into a strong architectural feature with a clear piano-key rhythm.
Honey-toned wood covered the treads, risers, handrails and posts, with carpet at the upper landing. Similar colours blurred the step profile and curved railing lines.
The recognizable curved stair geometry remains in the matched photographs. The renovation kept that sweep while changing its visible finishes.
Dark horizontal treads, white risers and coordinated handrail, post and baluster finishes created the piano-key contrast. The upper landing received the same visual rhythm.
The tread edges, winders, curved rails and adjacent dark flooring needed to be considered together. The column-fitting example below shows another documented Kleinburg railing detail.
The stair now reads as repeated dark horizontal edges against white vertical faces, while preserving the original sweep.

The previous railing ended awkwardly against the column. Careful cutting and fitting allowed the new handrail to appear continuous through the round column while new posts, round decorative balusters and hardwood tread caps completed the staircase.

FAQ
The contrast comes from dark horizontal tread surfaces and white risers, carried into the railings and landing. The original curve remains recognizable; the finish plan makes each step and railing line more distinct.
The turn, winders, nosing and upper guard all need to be recorded. Send a full view of each flight and a photograph from the landing; a simple tread count does not describe the curved transitions shown in this project.
The supporting Kleinburg example documents a handrail fitted through a round column after the previous rail ended awkwardly against it. Photograph the column and both approaching rail sections so the connection can be assessed and detailed.
For an initial review, include your city or postal-code area, tread and riser count, landing details and the finish you want.
