A Quick Tour of Our Trapconfigurator: Design Your Stair Online in Minutes

Designing a new stair shouldn’t be slow, confusing, or expensive. With our Trapconfigurator, you can explore models, choose your preferred execution (open or closed), and get a clear price indication—online in minutes. Whether your space needs a straight flight, a clever quarter-turn, or a compact solution, the Trapconfigurator makes it easy to define what you need and request a free, no‑obligation quote.

In this guide, you’ll learn what the Trapconfigurator does, how to use it step by step, when a standard build-kit stair is the smarter choice, and what happens after you click send.

What is the Trapconfigurator?

The Trapconfigurator is our online tool for tailoring a wooden stair to your exact situation. It’s especially useful when a standard build‑kit stair doesn’t fit your measurements. Enter the key dimensions and preferences, receive an instant cost indication, and request a free, non‑binding offer.

Highlights:

Instant price indication based on your inputs
Step‑by‑step setup for a custom stair
Free, no‑obligation offer after submission

If your project is straightforward and fits standard sizes, you can also order a build‑kit stair directly from our webshop. For non‑standard sizes, the Trapconfigurator is the fastest route to a tailored solution.

How the Trapconfigurator Works (Step-by-Step)

1) Gather your inputs

Have these details ready to speed through the process:

Stair height (floor to floor)
Desired stair model (see options below)
Execution (open with no risers, or closed with risers)
Turn direction where applicable (left or right)

You’ll enter these to get an immediate cost indication.

2) Choose your model

You can configure the model that best fits your space and layout:

Steektrap: a simple straight flight.
Scheluwtrap: similar to a straight stair but slightly skewed—ideal along a not‑quite‑straight wall.
Bovenkwart trap: straight section followed by a 90° turn at the top.
Onderkwart trap: 90° turn at the bottom, then straight up.
Dubbelkwart trap: a 90° turn at both bottom and top.
Halfslag trap: a 180° turn around a central post, saving floor space.
Ruimtebesparende trap: for tight footprints where every centimetre counts.

Tip: If you’re working with a half‑open upper floor (mezzanine) or a tiny footprint, also explore our foldable Klapster stair under Opvouwbare trap.

3) Select open or closed execution

Open stairs (no risers) create an airy look and feel.
Closed stairs (with risers) add a visual finish and provide an insulating effect. They’re slightly more expensive than open variants.

4) Pick your wood species (where applicable)

Wood choice affects aesthetics and price:

Vuren is the most budget‑friendly option across many models.
Premium species such as eiken or mahonie elevate the look and feel.

5) Define turn direction

For quarter‑ and half‑turn models, set the rotation to left or right so the stair fits the room perfectly.

6) Request your free offer

After you enter your details, you’ll see an instant price indication. Submit your configuration to receive a free, no‑obligation offer. Prefer a standard stair that already fits your sizes? You can order a build‑kit stair directly online.

Standard Build-Kit Stairs vs. Configurator

If your height and layout match our standard sizes, a build‑kit stair is fast and cost‑effective. All build‑kit stairs are available as open or closed, and fit stair heights between 254 and 294 cm. If your dimensions differ, use the Trapconfigurator for a made‑to‑measure solution.

Below are starting prices for popular vuren build‑kit models (open vs. closed):

Model	Open from	Closed from
Steektrap	€ 609	€ 669
Scheluwtrap	€ 687	€ 757
Bovenkwart trap	€ 809	€ 869
Onderkwart trap	€ 809	€ 869
Dubbelkwart trap	€ 1.075	€ 1.145
Halfslag trap	€ 899	€ 959

For very small footprints or a mezzanine, consider the foldable Klapster stair (Opvouwbare trap):

Ultralight model from € 1.815
Slim model from € 2.349,50
Comfort model from € 3.460,50

These fold against the wall in one smooth motion—ideal when you want to reclaim space when the stair isn’t in use.

FAQs: Fast Answers for Faster Decisions

How fast do I get a price?

You get an instant cost indication in the Trapconfigurator, followed by a free, no‑obligation offer after submission.

Can I install the stair myself?

Yes—our build‑kit stairs are designed for straightforward assembly. If you’d like a pro to handle measuring and installation, use our Inmeet‑ & Montageservice.

What’s the difference between open and closed stairs?

Open stairs have no risers and feel more spacious. Closed stairs include risers, add an insulating effect, and cost slightly more than open variants.

Do you cover my area?

Yes—we serve customers nationwide through our own delivery and a partner network of experienced stair installers across the Netherlands and Belgium.

What if my stair height is outside standard sizes?

Use the Trapconfigurator to tailor your stair. For standard build‑kit stairs, the supported height range is 254–294 cm.

What compact options exist beyond standard models?

Check the Opvouwbare trap (Klapster) for foldable solutions. It’s a strong choice for tiny homes, small apartments, or mezzanines.

Practical Takeaways and Pro Tips

Measure accurately: Note your floor‑to‑floor height before starting the Trapconfigurator.
Match model to space: Quarter‑ and half‑turn models help you navigate tight layouts; a half‑turn (halfslag) saves floor space.
Decide on execution early: Open looks lighter; closed offers a finished look and insulation.
Consider wood choices: Vuren is budget‑friendly; eiken and mahonie provide a premium look.
Plan finishing touches: After choosing your stair, complete it with accessories such as trapverlichting for safety and ambience, antislip strips for traction, leuninghouders for secure handrails, and optionally hekwerken on the landing floor.
