RECLAIMED MATERIALS FOR BESPOKE DESIGNS

Bespoke staircase company Bisca is driven by an ethos centred around environmental sustainability , placing strong focus on sourcing materials responsibly , upcycling and creating strong partnerships with suppliers who share the same values . A recent project combined all the above in a unique staircase , designed and made from an old lock gate . Crafted into treads for a helical staircase , the timber added a beautiful patina to the design , striking the perfect balance between elegant and rustic .
For several other projects , Bisca made use of old vodka barrels sourced from a distillery . The oak barrels are crafted into sleek-looking treads , giving the solid timber a new lease of life . Whether cantilevered or supported by stringers , an open tread design will suit a multitude of property styles and makes the most of natural light levels .
With a bespoke design , the choice of materials is wide and varied , and homeowners can personalise a design by adding materials they source themselves . A staircase for a refurbished farmhouse included a feature stone tread at the base made from stone that originally formed part of the Baltic Chamber Arch . Incorporating it into the design alongside treads made from old harbour props , provided a connection to the local area . BISCA | 01439 771 702 | bisca . co . uk
