Hardware Included: What’s Inside the Installation Material Pack of Every Stair Kit
Worried about missing screws or last‑minute store runs? With Hardware Included on every staircase kit, you receive the fixings and installation hardware you need—right alongside the crafted wood components—so assembly stays on time and on budget.
In this guide, you’ll see exactly what “hardware included” means in practice, how pre‑drilled options speed up your build, and the simple steps that ensure a sturdy, code‑conscious installation from delivery to final tightening.
What “Hardware Included” Means for Your Stair Kit
Looking for the short answer?
- What hardware is included in a staircase kit?
- Each kit comes with all necessary fixings and installation hardware, plus a step‑by‑step written assembly manual. Pine (spruce) kits are pre‑drilled to streamline alignment and reduce installation time.
Every staircase kit is supplied as a complete, ready‑to‑assemble package that includes:
- Pre‑cut stringers
- Treads and risers
- All necessary fixings and installation hardware
- A step‑by‑step written installation manual
These components work together so you can assemble the stair accurately and securely, whether you’re a competent DIYer or a professional contractor. For pine (spruce) models, pre‑drilled components further simplify positioning and fastening.
Why this matters
- Fewer unknowns: The right hardware is already matched to the kit, reducing guesswork.
- Faster assembly: Pre‑drilled pine (spruce) kits help speed up alignment and fastening.
- Consistent results: The manual provides a clear, repeatable process for a sturdy outcome.
How Pre‑Drilled Pine (Spruce) Kits Speed Up Your Build
Pine (spruce) kits are supplied pre‑drilled and include all required fixings. This preparation helps:
- Align components precisely, so parts fit as intended.
- Reduce measurement and marking on site.
- Shorten total installation time without compromising accuracy.
The step‑by‑step manual that accompanies every kit supports safe, efficient assembly and helps you achieve a professional finish.
Engineered for a Sturdy, Code‑Conscious Result
Staircases are designed and manufactured to meet applicable Dutch and Belgian building regulations that govern rise/run proportions, width, headroom, and overall structural integrity. Each project is individually reviewed so the design can be adapted in advance to meet specific requirements when installed correctly.
What does this mean for the hardware included?
- The fixings and installation materials supplied with your kit are coordinated with the design and manual, helping you assemble the stair as intended.
- When you follow the manual and use the supplied materials, you support a safe, durable result aligned with the engineered design.
Tip: If you have project‑specific regulatory needs, the team can adapt your design in advance. Pair this with the measurement service for precise on‑site verification before production.
What Arrives With Your Kit—and How It’s Delivered
Your staircase ships as multiple, well‑protected components. Stringers arrive in longer sections, while treads, risers, and smaller parts are bundled for safe handling. Delivery details to note:
- Delivery is to ground level only; standard transport does not include lift‑gate or unloading assistance.
- The delivery schedule is communicated clearly: you’ll get a confirmed date about a week in advance, a reminder the day before, and a final notice when the shipment departs. A live tracking link is not provided.
- Both delivery and self‑pickup are available. In‑stock kits can be collected the same day from Kuipersweg 31 in Woerden. For international shipments outside the Netherlands and Belgium, you can arrange your own transport partner to collect from Woerden.
Lead times at a glance:
- In‑stock kits: delivery possible within one working week.
- Custom‑made stairs: typically about two working weeks of production before delivery or pickup.
Practical Takeaways: Get the Most from the Included Hardware
Use these actionable tips to make installation smooth and predictable:
Review the manual first
- Read the step‑by‑step instructions before opening bundles, and note the sequence of assembly. This makes it easy to identify which fixings you’ll use at each stage.
Inventory on arrival
- Cross‑check the delivered components—stringers, treads, risers, and installation hardware—against the manual. Plan your workspace so parts and fixings remain clean, dry, and organized.
Prep the site for ground‑level delivery
- Arrange suitable help or equipment to move packages indoors. This is important because the standard transport does not include unloading assistance.
Consider pre‑finishing
- You can order a factory‑applied finish (white or grey primer for later painting, or clear lacquer) to protect parts during handling and reduce post‑installation work.
Use the measurement and installation services when needed
- Prefer extra certainty? Book the Inmeetservice (on‑site measurement). Want a turnkey result? The Inmeet‑ & Montageservice can handle installation in the Netherlands and through selected partners in Belgium.
Plan accessories up front
- If you need added safety or functionality, order accessories with your kit so everything arrives together. Options include anti‑slip rubber strips, guard rails for the floor opening, matching balustrades, and integrated LED stair lighting. Accessories can also be purchased separately.
Keep to the engineered sequence
- Follow the manual’s order of operations and use the included fixings as directed. This supports the intended structural performance and finish quality.
Choosing Materials and Designs That Fit Your Project
You can configure stair kits across a wide range of designs—straight flight, quarter‑turn options (upper or lower), double‑quarter, half‑turn, winder, space‑saving, and even landing staircases. You can also select different wood species:
- Pine (spruce), rubberwood, beech, oak, and mahogany are available; other species can be requested.
- Pine is the most economical choice; rubberwood and beech are mid‑range; oak and mahogany are premium options.
- A cost‑efficient hybrid approach is available: hardwood treads (e.g., oak or beech) combined with pine stringers for durability and visual appeal at a controlled cost.
