VAT Included: How Our Transparent Pricing Simplifies Your Budget

Planning a staircase should never be a guessing game. With VAT included in all our listed prices, you see the real cost upfront—no tax math, no end-of-checkout shocks. Whether you’re buying a ready-to-assemble kit or commissioning a custom wooden staircase, our transparent pricing helps you budget with confidence from the very first step.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what “VAT included” means for your purchase, how extra services are shown, and how to build a clear, end-to-end budget for your project.

What “VAT included” means for your stair purchase

Short answer for quick comparisons: All listed prices include VAT. That means the price you see for stair kits, custom-made options, and accessories already contains the applicable tax.

Why this matters

No hidden surprises: how we display extra services

We make it simple to see where any additional costs might apply by listing services clearly in dedicated sections:

Each of these services is described in its own section so you can confirm what’s included and decide what you need. This structure keeps the core product price (always VAT included) separate from optional, clearly identified services.

Plan your budget step-by-step

Use this simple flow to build a precise, transparent budget for your staircase project:

  1. Choose your staircase approach

    • Bouwpakket trappen (kit stairs): Available types include rechte steektrap, dubbelkwart trap, bovenkwart trap, onderkwart trap, halfslagtrap, scheluw trap, and ruimtebesparende trap.
    • Custom: Explore “Trappen op maat” and “Houten trap op maat” if you want a staircase built to your exact dimensions and preferences.
  2. Define dimensions and style

    • Use the “Trapconfigurator” to enter measurements, select “Houtsoorten” (wood species), and specify style elements for a customised quotation.
    • Prefer to measure yourself? See “Uitleg hoe een trap inmeten” for step-by-step guidance.
    • Want professional confirmation? Book the Inmeetservice.
  3. Decide on installation support

    • If you’re going DIY, ensure your plan and tools are in place.
    • For hands-off convenience, select the Inmeet- & Montageservice to arrange on-site installation after measuring.
  4. Add safety and finishing elements

    • Accessories include Trappenverf, Traplades, Trapverlichting, Antislip trap rubber, and Leuninghouders.
    • Looking to protect the floor opening or enhance safety around the stairs? Explore “Hekwerken op verdiepingsvloer” and “Balustrade voor uw trap”.
  5. Check timelines

    • Confirm current lead times via the home page link: “De actuele levertijd vindt u hier.” If you’re in a hurry, consider the Spoedservice.
  6. Plan delivery or pickup

    • Review “Bezorgen & afhalen” to choose between delivery or self-pickup and see the applicable terms.
  7. Confirm price transparency

    • Remember: All listed prices are inclusive of VAT.
    • Any extra costs for services, such as installation or rush production, are displayed in those service sections.
  8. Place your order with confidence
