“The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down.� - Samuel Johnson
RISE
RUN
Building Codes A Cooper preassembled staircase is not only beautiful, it is safe. Part of the design process is understanding various building codes in the different states and being able to educate our customers. The rise and run are two of the most important variables in determining the space necessary for the stair. In addition, the handrail and balusters provide support and prevent falls. A Cooper Stairworks expert can help guide you through the intricacies of baluster spacing, handrail graspability, and headroom.

Curved Stairs.
KNOWN FOR DESIGNING AND PRODUCING THE FINEST QUALITY CUSTOM CURVED STAIRCASES, THE COOPER STAIRWORKS SYSTEM OF CURVED DESIGN OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE WITH YOUR CHOICE OF PRE-FITTED RAIL SYSTEMS MADE FROM CUSTOM OR STOCK COMPONENTS. OUR DESIGNS SHOWN REFLECT THE MOST COMMON DIMENSIONS USED IN TODAY’S HOMES. BY CHOOSING FROM THIS ARRAY OF LAYOUTS YOU GAIN THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO DEVELOP AN ACCURATE DESIGN FOR YOUR PROJECT.
page 13 | www.cooperstairworks.com
Stair Layouts With a simple understanding of the number of risers you need, you may choose a layout that fits your space and determine the scale and balance so critical to the overall preliminary design phase.
Each layout can be: • constructed in any width • made opposite hand • treads can be added at either end • be built with or without supporting walls
The curved layouts shown walk safely with a 10" or 9" run at the walk line and are designed to meet residential building codes in most areas of the country. Our manufacturing system allows us to build each stair to your unique conditions and dimensions with no additional labor or setup. Unlike curved stair manufacturers with fixed bending forms, our processes allow complete dimensional flexibility, making custom sizes affordable.

Straight Stairs. STRAIGHT STAIRS ARE NOT JUST STRAIGHT, THEY TAKE ON MANY SHAPES SUCH AS AN L-SHAPED, U-SHAPED, SCISSORSHAPED, AND MORE; SEE DIAGRAMS TO THE RIGHT. STRAIGHT STAIRS MAY BE JUST AS ELABORATE AS CURVED; IT IS A MATTER OF PREFERENCE. WHEN CONSIDERED IN PARTS, A STRAIGHT STAIRCASE IS FULL OF ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS, EACH CONTRIBUTING TO THE VISUAL IMPACT OF THE WHOLE.

“Never look backwards or you’ll fall down the stairs.” - Rudyard Kipling Now using the ZIPBOLT™ UT Rail Bolt on all Preassembled Stairs… The ZIPBOLT™ UT Rail bolt is part of a program of fasteners and connectors ideally suited for the stair industry (see Cooper Stair Parts brochure). Instead of fumbling with a nut, washer, and special wrench, the ZIPBOLT™ uses a standard hex style driver to fasten rail parts securely together. Easier, faster, and stronger, the ZIPBOLT™ UT Rail bolt is fast becoming the preferred choice of professionals.
COOPER PREFIT RAIL SYSTEMS COMBINED WITH OUR PREASSEMBLED STAIRS ENABLE YOU TO REALIZE MANY COST EFFICIENCIES. NO MORE QUESTIONS ON WHAT PARTS TO USE, WHERE TO FIND THEM OR HOW THEY GO TOGETHER. SIMPLY SELECT ANY STOCK OR CUSTOM STYLE BALUSTRADE AND OUR PROFESSIONAL STAIR BUILDERS WILL CONFIGURE THE CORRECT PARTS AND ACTUALLY PREFIT THEM TO YOUR STAIR WHILE IT IS IN OUR SHOP.
Post is notched for exact location and height.
Stair is notched for post.
Treads are drilled for balusters, and inserts are installed.
One end of rail is precut for quick field installation with post to post rail systems. Opposite end is cut to fit in field.
Rake rails on stair are drilled for easy baluster insertion, up into rail and down into tread.

Unsupported Staircases, also known as a 'flying' or 'gallery' staircases, shoot up from the center of an open space and are unsupported on either side and open underneath. The unsupported staircase makes a dramatic impact, both in the room as a whole and on the person ascending the stairs. Some designs are difficult to construct properly from scratch on-site. The unsupported staircase is just one of our many specialties.
page 21
How to order.
When do I start? Contact us at the beginning of the design phase when you have the most options available and our expertise can be most helpful. We will meet your design requirements and bring value and dramatic design to your project. The longer you wait the more you limit your options or create unusual and costly framing changes.
1st Floor Stair Plan
How do I start? Submit a copy of your plans in the area of the stair at each level and provide the height from floor to floor. You may request literature or view our website for our offerings to consider your rail and baluster preferences. Our "Stair Facts" form is available online to guide you through the planning process. We will send you a quotation for the complete stair system with your choice of balustrade or one we have recommended to meet your budget.
2nd Floor Stair Plan
How do I order? Simply approve the quotation. We will finalize the details and send a contract for you to sign. A shop drawing will follow for approval and if you are within reach of our service areas, a field technician will confirm field dimensions. If you have purchased a curved stair system we provide the curved wall plates, curved floor templates and a positioning diagram to coordinate the fit of the stair system while framing. This allows you to complete most of the framing and wall finish prior to taking delivery of the stair and rail system.
Elevation
When does the stair arrive? Once the job is weather tight, the stair and rail system will be delivered. The stair will be wrapped with six-mil polyethylene wrap and tread guards will be applied to protect the stair from jobsite traffic. When ready the protective wrap may be turned back and the rail system unpacked and applied. Complete installation is available within service areas.

Field Measurement In our direct service area all our Tech people field measure the job completely, make recommendations as needed, and work with a Project Manager from beginning to end.

CAD Support Not all stair projects require CAD support, but when necessary we provide very detailed drawings of the project for review.
State-of-the-Art Technology We have invested in the latest technology available. Automatic stair design software is used to support two CNC routers with 4 and 5 axis machining capabilities.

Threaded Inserts On wooden, turned, tapered-top balusters, we use a threaded insert in the tread and a machine/lag screw in the baluster for superior strength and ease of installation.

Fas-n-Fast A strong machine screw style connector is used to connect all pin bottom newels to the starting step.
11
Blind Fasteners When we apply a return to a stair tread, all work is done on the backside so fasteners are never visible on the finish face and edge of the tread.
Plywood Templates Plates are provided for framing balcony sections and supporting walls. Stairs are assembled back in our shop using exact duplicates of these templates.

Packaging The stair is wrapped in clear plastic with custom water resistant double thick cardboard tread and riser guards applied for protection during construction.
Easy Installation As soon as the project is weather tight, the stair is normally installed in less than half a day so it can be used during the construction process.

5 Year Warranty. North Atlantic Corp. takes great pride in its workmanship and undertakes to manufacture the very best preassembled staircase product possible. This commitment to quality allows us to offer a FIVE (5) YEAR WARRANTY limited to the original contractor / consumer purchaser covering only defects in material or workmanship. The warranty period shall commence from date of delivery providing all recommendations are followed as noted in our Use & Care Guide. Natural variations in color and grain of wood shall not be considered defects. Defects resulting from or attributed to normal wear, abuse, or alteration shall not be covered. Defects resulting from installation shall be covered only when installation is provided by North Atlantic Corp and its subsidiaries. Upon written notification of a claim describing a possible defect and presentation of this certificate we will inspect the staircase within 5 business days. If after such inspection we determine there to be a defect, we will repair or replace it, unfinished, FREE OF CHARGE.
Use and care. • Staircase must be installed level and square. • Shim any void between framing and back of stringer (usually wall finish thickness) and screw through stringers into framing at each stud above and below tread. Where walls are not used to support the staircase adequate substringers must be used. • Use glue under landing tread and glue nailing cleat behind bottom riser or squeak will result in these areas. • Apply a minimum two to three top coat paint / finish system within 60 days of delivery to effectively seal wood. • Staircase should be backpainted or ceiling installed underneath to provide vapor barrier from basement, crawl space, or other damp areas to prevent squeaks. Likewise shield under side of stair from heat sources such as water heaters, furnaces, etc. • Do not subject staircase to extremes of temperature or humidity. • Intense exposure to direct sunlight such as in sunrooms or windows with southern exposure, especially in enclosed areas, should be avoided.
