Creating Dynamic Spaces - beautiful bespoke stairs, internal doors, entrance doors, external doors.

08/10/2026

How to choose external doors. Three materials, three different answers, and the right one depends on how you live with them.

Timber doors: three-layer engineered wood beam, 60mm or 78mm casement profiles, Euro 78mm or 94mm sliding profiles, finished in natural wood, oil or factory paint. Warm to look at and to live with.

Aluminium clad timber doors: the same timber inside, finished to match your internal joinery, with an aluminium skin outside in the full RAL range. No painting, no staining, just an occasional clean.

Aluminium doors: the slimmest frames. From the ultra-slim SlimLine 38 to CP 130 lift-and-slide and CF 77 bi-fold, with triple glazing on several systems.

Across all three:

• Double or triple glazing
• Internally beaded construction with espagnolette locking as standard
• PAS 24 or Secured by Design security on the relevant systems
• Made to your exact sizes

A three-flight staircase design is a different kind of project. In Golders Green, our Cadet Curved staircase climbs through two curved flights, then a third flight suspended from the ceiling finishes the rise across an open landing.

The curved flights wrap a venetian plastered shaft, with LEDs projecting onto the wall as you climb.

The details:

• Closed strings from the sides, finished in white
• Oak treads colour-matched to the client's flooring, closed oak risers
• Black anti-slip steel inlays on the leading edge of every tread
• Bespoke black steel railings, round oak handrails

The doors followed the same brief: Designo Grooved G100 curved door sets and Designo Inlaid IN103 sets in walnut with a 20% gloss lacquer, plus Ferro Porte M104-6 steel and glass doors on a pivot and slide system and a single M101 pivot door.

Timber sliding sash windows look the way they did three hundred years ago. The engineering inside them does not.

Our new Insights article explains how a sash window is held in position and which system suits which building:

• Cords and weights, with a counterweight hidden in a box at the side of the frame, often expected on listed buildings and in conservation areas, and repairable indefinitely
• Spiral balances, a spring-loaded rod in each channel, for a slimmer frame on new build
• Spring balances in a concealed cavity, a middle route between the two

It also covers what has quietly improved: brush and compression seals against draughts, slim profile double glazed units that keep the original sightlines, engineered timber for stability, and a sprayed factory finish that outlasts site painting.

Timber remains the most repairable window type. A cord, a sash or a bead can be replaced on its own rather than the whole unit.

A cantilever staircase in Epping, Essex, with a door package designed to match.

The treads are oak, 100mm deep and finished in black, with LED lighting beneath each one so the stair appears to float. The bottom tread is extended and sits on a shadow gap, a quarter landing turns the flight, and a 12mm glass balustrade is fixed to the side of each tread with stainless steel bolts beneath a square 40mm black oak handrail.

The internal doors carry the same detailing:

• Inlaid IN103 door sets in brown ash, painted cream with a 10% gloss clear lacquer
• A CNC-cut rectangular groove in each leaf with a black matt steel profile inlay
• Concealed hinges, seals, locks and latches colour matched in black
• LH103 curved handles and a black shadow gap frame system

Material Spotlight: Oak.

Warm without being heavy, neutral without being flat. Oak is one of the timbers we return to most, because it works as well underfoot on a staircase as it does on a door.

Where you will find it in our work:

• Staircase treads, like the 100mm oak treads on this week's Reigate zig-zag staircase, matched to the hallway floor
• Internal door veneers, quarter sawn or crown cut, lacquered as standard with matt, gloss, high gloss or oiled finishes available
• Stained oak doors in Olive, White Oak, Smoke, Espresso, Slate or Chocolate, with the grain still showing through

All from FSC certified sources.

A staircase designed to be looked at, not just climbed.

For this Reigate home, the owners wanted a dramatic, contemporary staircase that would become the defining feature of the interior. The answer was a three-flight Challenger staircase with a distinctive zig-zag profile, open risers and winders, developed in close collaboration between client and design team.

What went into it:

• 100mm oak treads, colour matched to the hallway floor
• Slim black steel strings holding a frameless glass balustrade
• 17.5mm toughened and laminated glass with concealed fixings
• Round stainless steel handrails
• A glass screen between hallway and lounge, keeping the staircase on show

Flush Plana P102 doors in Nero Ash run throughout the property, tying the dark, clean-lined look of the staircase into the rest of the home.

Why We Love American Black Walnut.

There is a reason walnut is one of the most specified timbers in high-end architecture. Its deep, warm colour, fine grain and natural richness bring presence and depth to any interior.

At Zakuna, we use American Black Walnut across:

• Staircase treads and handrails
• Internal door sets and flush panels
• Boardroom cabinetry and display joinery
• Wall cladding and feature panels

Every piece is hand-selected for grain consistency and finished in-house to ensure a seamless match across the full joinery package.

Sustainably sourced. Precision finished. Built to last.

Why You Should Specify Your Staircase Early

A staircase is not a finishing item. It is a structural element that interacts with floor plates, walls and steelwork — and leaving it until later in the programme creates problems.

Early specification means:

• Structural integration without retrofitting. Material finishes aligned with doors, windows and joinery
• Realistic lead times for fabrication and approval
• Proper installation access before walls and ceilings close

At Zakuna, we work with architects and contractors from concept stage to ensure the staircase is designed into the project — not squeezed in at the end.
