Partnered Installation in Belgium: How We Maintain Quality Outside the Netherlands

When you invest in a custom wooden staircase, you want the same high standards on installation day—no matter where you live. Our partnered installation in Belgium is built to deliver consistent results through vetted local specialists, coordinated logistics, and clear communication. From design and engineering to delivery and aftercare, we align every step so Belgian projects receive the same attention to detail as those installed by our own team in the Netherlands.

In this guide, you’ll learn how partnered installation in Belgium works, how we safeguard quality and data privacy, what to expect before delivery and on site, and practical tips to prepare your home.

What "partnered installation in Belgium" means

• On-site installation in both countries: We offer on-site installation in the Netherlands and Belgium.
• Our team in the Netherlands; vetted partners in Belgium: Dutch installations are completed by our own team. Belgian installations are carried out by carefully selected local partners to ensure a well-coordinated process and consistent quality.
• Data shared only with your consent: We share your project details with our Belgian partners only after your explicit consent.
• Flexible alternative: Prefer to use your own contractor? We can supply fully prepared staircase kits so your installer can fit the stair with confidence.

How we safeguard quality across borders

Design and engineering that fit Belgian homes

• Built for compliance: Our staircases are designed and manufactured to meet applicable Dutch and Belgian building regulations on dimensions, safety, and usability.
• Engineering checks: We review rise/run, width, headroom, and structural integrity for each project. Designs can be adapted in advance to meet specific site or regulatory requirements.

Why this matters: compliant geometry and robust detailing make installation smoother on site and help prevent costly rework.

Factory preparation that speeds up installation

• Ready-to-assemble kits: Each staircase kit includes a step-by-step installation manual for safe, accurate assembly.
• Pre-drilled pine models: Pine (spruce) staircases are pre-drilled and supplied with necessary installation materials, reducing installation time and helping ensure precise positioning.
• Protective finishing options: Choose a white or grey primer if you’ll paint on site, or a clear lacquer to protect the wood and preserve its natural look. These finishes help shield components during transport and installation, cutting down post-install work.

Coordinated logistics you can plan around

• Transparent lead times: You can check the current lead time via the “De actuele levertijd vindt u hier” link on our home page.
• Proactive delivery updates (no live tracking): We confirm your delivery date about one week in advance, send a reminder the day before, and email a final notice when your shipment departs on delivery day.
• Packaging built for protection: Kits arrive as multiple, well-protected components—longer stringer sections and bundled treads/risers and small parts. The exact package count, dimensions, and weight vary by project and are confirmed with you in advance.
• Ground-level delivery: Standard transport delivers to ground level only. A lift-gate or unloading assistance is not included, so please arrange suitable help or equipment on site.

Warranty-backed peace of mind

• 6-year warranty: Your staircase kit is covered for six years from the installation date. The warranty covers the structural integrity and proper functioning of supplied components (stringers, treads, risers, fixings) under normal use and maintenance. Proven defects are repaired or the part replaced up to its original invoice value.
• Exclusions: Normal wear and tear, natural wood variations or movement, minor cosmetic imperfections, and issues caused by improper installation, structural alterations, moisture imbalance, or third-party modifications are excluded.

What Belgian customers can expect

A consistent, coordinated process

• One approach, two countries: Whether our own team installs in the Netherlands or our partners install in Belgium, the process is coordinated to deliver consistent quality.
• Optional measurement service: You can use our measurement guidance (“Uitleg hoe een trap inmeten”) or request an on-site measurement service for added certainty before production.
• Installation choice: Select full-service installation (via our Belgian partners) or ask us to deliver a prepared kit for your own contractor or for DIY installation.

Nationwide delivery in Belgium

• We deliver staircase kits across Belgium. If you choose on-site installation, our local partners coordinate scheduling and on-site work after you provide consent to share your details.

Options to tailor your project

• Open or closed designs: Most staircase types (straight, quarter-turn, half-turn, and space-saving) are available in both open and closed versions.
• Material and finish: Choose among wood species—such as oak and other durable options—and add finishing (primer or clear lacquer) at the factory.
• Safety and style add-ons: Enhance your staircase with balustrades, anti-slip rubber strips, built-in LED lighting, and even stair drawers (traplades). Specialized stair paint (trappenverf) is also available.

Timelines at a glance

• In-stock kits: A ready-made staircase kit can be delivered within one working week; self-pickup is also possible.
• Custom projects: For made-to-measure stairs, consult the live lead-time link on our home page.
