At Neville Johnson we use a variety of durable hardwoods including oak, sapele and walnut for our bespoke timber staircase renovations. Oak is strong and dense and is one of the most durable hardwoods used in furniture making. Sapele is hard and heavy with a unique finish, making it a perfect choice for show-stopping wooden stairs. Maple has a fine uniform texture and is one of the most solid hardwoods. Beech contains stunning warm undertones and has a fine, even texture. Walnut is a striking dark hardwood known for its unique colour. Our designers carry samples of all our timber finishes, so you can see how each option fits against your home’s interior.
