Factors influencing the installation cost of a staircase

The installation cost of a staircase in Belgium depends on several parameters, such as the shape, materials, finishes, technical constraints, and the labor required.

The shape of the staircase is a determining factor in calculating the final price. Depending on the chosen model and the available space, the price can vary significantly. Among the main types of staircases, we find:

  • The retractable staircase
  • The straight staircase
  • The turning model
  • The spiral staircase
  • The suspended model

Each type has specific advantages and adapts to particular configurations.

Ideal for accessing attics or lofts, the retractable staircase is discreet and space-saving. In Belgium, its installation price ranges from €180 to €250 VAT included, depending on the model and finishes chosen.

Classic and easy to install, the straight staircase remains the most economical model, provided there is enough space. Expect to pay between €400 and €500 VAT included for its installation.

The quarter-turn staircase is perfect for interiors where space is limited. It combines aesthetics and space-saving. Made of solid wood, its installation generally costs between €500 and €600 VAT included.

Also known as a spiral staircase, this model stands out for its elegant design and compactness. The installation is more technical, as the steps are fixed around a central axis. The average cost in Belgium ranges from €900 to €1,500 VAT included, depending on the material and size.

Composed of steps fixed directly to a load-bearing wall, the suspended staircase is modern and adds lightness to the room. Its installation price varies between €1,500 and €2,500 VAT included, depending on the complexity of the project.

The choice of material determines both the aesthetics, durability, and price of your staircase. The most common options in Belgium are:

  • Wood, valued for its warmth and tradition.
  • Metal, ideal for an industrial or contemporary style.
  • Concrete, durable and customizable.
  • Glass, for a design and bright finish.
  • Stone, elegant but more expensive.

For example, a concrete staircase requires a longer implementation time (formwork, drying...), which increases the labor and thus the total cost. Wood, being easier to install, remains a versatile and affordable solution.

The installation of a staircase should be entrusted to an experienced craftsman to ensure safety and durability. In Belgium, the average hourly rate for a specialized carpenter or mason ranges between €45 and €65 excluding VAT.

For a kit staircase, the labor cost will be lower than for a custom model, which requires more precision and preparation.

With Avenir Rénovations Belgium, you benefit from professional installation at a competitive rate, carried out by certified experts.

The finishes provide the final touch to your staircase. These can include:

  • handrails,
  • guardrails,
  • non-slip steps,
  • integrated lighting.

These elements enhance the aesthetic appeal and safety. Their price depends on the design, material, and level of customization. Avenir Rénovations Belgium helps you choose harmonious finishes that fit your budget.

Some structural constraints can increase the installation cost: ceiling height, presence of load-bearing walls, need to create or widen an opening… Similarly, the type of project (renovation or new construction) affects the complexity of the work and thus the final budget.

On average, you should budget between €130 and over €2,800 including VAT for the equipment alone. In addition, there is the installation cost, which varies according to the configuration of the home and the complexity of the work.

1. Models of retractable staircases

The type of design directly influences the final price. Each model has its own advantages in terms of comfort and use.

  • Aluminum: modern, lightweight, and rust-resistant, it is easy to install and low maintenance. Its price ranges from €150 to €450 including VAT.
  • Steel: very strong and durable, it is suitable for frequently used staircases. The cost ranges from €300 to €950 including VAT, depending on the quality and finish chosen.

3. Opening systems

There are two main mechanisms for retractable staircases, each influencing the overall price.

  • Fire-resistant models: designed to withstand high temperatures, they start at €800 including VAT.
  • Special dimensions: a wider hatch or higher ceiling requires custom manufacturing and incurs a higher cost.
  • Safety accessories: railings, guardrails, or support bars add between €50 and €200 to the total amount.
  • Specific use: a staircase for a mezzanine costs between €400 and €1,800 including VAT, while a model for terrace access ranges from €1,500 to €2,700 including VAT.

5. The installation price

The installation of a retractable staircase by a professional is not included in the initial purchase price. In Belgium, the installation cost depends on the type of intervention and the complexity of the site.
