Your project in the canton of Lucerne

The canton of Lucerne is centred on the city of the same name, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, and extends into the Entlebuch and the Seetal. Lucerne's old town, with its covered bridges and painted façades, has many old buildings where lorry access is restricted. Kriens, Emmenbrücke and Ebikon form the suburban area, with many rental blocks and condominium flats. On the lakeshore, Meggen and Horw feature villas and houses with views. Further west, Sursee and Willisau have kept small old towns surrounded by countryside and farms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can explain your project in English in your request. For work on an old building or the exterior, check with your municipality. Give the municipality and postcode, the available delivery space and access to the building's different floors.

  • In Lucerne's old town, describe vehicle access and whether there is a goods lift.
  • For a lakeside villa, say whether the plot is sloping and how it can be reached.
  • In a condominium in the suburbs, state whether the work affects the communal areas.

Bespoke staircases in the canton of Lucerne

In the canton of Lucerne, bespoke staircases meet contrasting expectations. In Lucerne, the old buildings of the old town and the townhouses near the lake have turned-wood stairwells that often need restoring step by step. On the lakeshore, notably in Meggen, multi-level villas favour floating or natural stone staircases opening onto large picture windows. In the Entlebuch and the farming hinterland, converted farmhouses and village houses call for solid staircases in spruce or oak. Duplexes in condominium ownership require the approval of the co-owners. In a protected zone, contact the municipality at the very start of the project.

  • Opposite a large picture window, choose a tread finish that resists ultraviolet light, to prevent the wood from yellowing unevenly.
  • For a natural stone staircase, ask for a slightly textured surface to reduce the risk of slipping in socks.

Frequently asked questions

How can replacing a staircase affect access in Lucerne?

Explain which rooms and entrances depend on the existing stair and whether occupants need access during the work. Removal, delivery and fitting must be coordinated with the structural assessment. Ask who plans any temporary route and protects the opening before the old staircase is taken out.

Which measurements matter when designing a staircase?

Floor-to-floor height, opening shape, headroom and access affect the design. Initial dimensions can explain the brief, but final measurements and structural support need professional assessment. Include the expected users and surrounding doorways so the proposed staircase can be checked in its actual setting.

What should I compare in bespoke staircase quotes?

Compare the stair structure, treads, finish, handrails and guarding with measuring and installation. Identify removal of an existing stair and work on floors or walls separately. Ask who checks supports and relevant requirements, and approve the final design before fabrication.

How should I prepare for the bespoke staircase visit or work?

Provide available floor plans and photographs of both levels. Describe delivery access and the route that must remain usable. Do not remove an existing stair or alter the opening before the agreed assessment, and confirm temporary access arrangements as part of the work sequence.
