Description

Genius RA Modular Staircase Range

The Genius RA Made to Order Modular or Linear staircase is designed for your project from the standard information which you provide to us. We then produce a plan drawing for you to approve and the staircase will be made from this drawing. The components are delivered to you with clear instructions to ensure that you can install it easily. Due to the design of the Genius range, there is still some adjustability in the staircase to allow for minor site tolerances. The Genius RA Modular Staircase is available in a straight format, or with 1 or 2 quarter turns to suit your project.

The delivery takes 4-5 weeks on confirmation of order, acceptance of staircase design diagram and payment in full (your quotation will include delivery to UK mainland).

PLEASE NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure that any Local Authority approvals necessary have been obtained. This will vary according to your application and we advise you to always check before going ahead with a purchase.

Timber Treatment:
To finish the wooden parts, Fontanot uses a unique painting process using water-based UV products that are at the leading edge of paint technology in terms of performance and consideration for the environment and health. The result is an ecological, non-toxic material, natural to the touch and with a quality finish resistant to abrasion and the scars of time.

Steel Components:
Painted steel, polished AISI 304 stainless steel or satin nickel-plated steel are used for the structural parts of the Genius range, depending on the staircase model. The painted steel is available in seven standard options and eleven different special finishes and undergoes a particular epoxy powder coating process with drying at high temperatures. This treatment guarantees a superior performance in colour uniformity and resistance to abrasion.

Cleaning:

We recommend the use of a damp cloth for the timber elements and polish off with a dry cloth. We advise against the use of products which contain siliconic oils for use in the furniture industry (like dust eating products) because they create a patina on the treads that would make them slippery).

The Genius RA staircases are designed and produced in Italy where the building regulations are different from the UK. We would be happy to advise you on UK Building Regulations and how they might affect your choices. We always strongly advise that you also discuss your project with your local Building Control Department before committing to purchase. You will find information on the Building Control Regulations on our Knowledge Centre here
