From Cart to Hallway: The Complete Workflow for a Bouwpakket Stair Order

A new staircase transforms how you move through your home—but the process to get there should feel just as effortless. This guide breaks down every step of a bouwpakket stair order so you know exactly what to expect, from choosing a model to delivery, pickup, and smooth DIY assembly. Whether you’re upgrading a hallway or adding a fixed stair to the attic, a bouwpakket stair order keeps cost, speed, and quality in balance.

Why choose a bouwpakket stair order?

A bouwpakket (prefabricated kit) gives you a ready-to-assemble staircase with clear instructions. It’s designed for handy homeowners and pros alike, and carries several advantages:

At Houtentrappenwinkel, stairs are produced in our own factory in Woerden and delivered as a practical kit. You can assemble it yourself or have it placed by our own installation service within a defined service area.

Step 1: Define your staircase — model, measurements, and materials

Before you place your bouwpakket stair order, align the design with your space and preferences.

Choose a model

Select the staircase layout that fits your opening, route, and room shape:

These models are available as open or closed stairs. Open stairs maintain an airy look; closed stairs (with risers) create visual calm and can improve sound dampening.

Take core measurements

Provide the key dimensions so your staircase is engineered to fit:

Tip: Accurate measuring is critical. You can have the stair measured and installed by our own service (available within a defined radius) for a small additional fee. There are also clear guides on how to measure if you prefer to do it yourself.

Select materials and finishing options

Step 2: Place your bouwpakket stair order

Ordering is straightforward. You’ll provide measurements, select the model and direction (left/right for turning stairs), choose open or closed design, and confirm material preferences.

Pro tip: If you’re replacing an existing stair, matching the existing layout (e.g., upper quarter to upper quarter) can simplify fit and finish.

Step 3: Drawing approval and production in our own factory

Once you submit your bouwpakket stair order:

  1. Production drawings are created for your review and approval.
  2. Manufacturing starts only after you’ve approved the drawings. This step ensures fit and alignment with your brief.
  3. Stairs are produced in our Woerden factory, where workflow, tooling, and quality control are optimized for precision.

This short, decisive cycle—clear drawings, your approval, then production—keeps timelines tight and results predictable.

Step 4: Delivery or pickup — what to expect

You choose how you receive your staircase:

Home delivery

Note: Deliveries to Belgium are available; a delivery fee applies.

Pickup at the factory

Prefer to collect it yourself? You can pick up at the factory by appointment. To protect parts in transit, bring:

We’ll have your kit ready at the agreed time so you can load quickly and safely.

Step 5: DIY assembly or professional installation

Every bouwpakket stair order arrives as a clear, ready-to-assemble kit. Typical inclusions are designed to make installation straightforward:

Models such as straight, upper quarter, lower quarter, double quarter, half-turn, and scheluw are supplied untreated, so you can finish with your preferred paint or varnish. Many models are produced in 40 mm solid vuren for strength and durability.

DIY-friendly by design

Bouwpakket stairs are developed with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. Even if you’re not an everyday builder, the sequenced steps and prepped components help you achieve a precise result.

Prefer a pro install?

If you live within approximately 100 km of Woerden, you can book our own installation service to place the stair for you. You can also have us measure on site for added assurance. These services are available for a modest additional fee.

Policies to know before you click “Order”

Clarity upfront makes for a smooth project and zero surprises later on.
