Sustainable Timber Staircases | The Stair Guys’ Eco-Friendly Supply Chain
“Crafting stunning staircases while protecting the planet one step at a time.”
At The Stair Guys, we believe that beautiful staircases shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. That’s why we’re proud to announce our transition to sustainably sourced timber. By prioritising materials from responsibly managed forests in Europe and Scandinavia, we’re redefining eco-friendly craftsmanship without compromising on quality.
Why Sustainable Timber Matters
Deforestation is one of the largest contributors to climate change, disrupting ecosystems and increasing carbon emissions globally. Non-sustainable timber sourcing often devastates forests, harming wildlife and communities that depend on them.
Sustainably harvested timber plays a vital role in combating these effects. By using materials from well-managed forests, we help to:
- Reduce Carbon Footprints: Sustainably managed forests absorb CO2, balancing emissions.
- Preserve Ecosystems: Protect habitats for wildlife and biodiversity.
- Support Responsible Forestry: Encourage ethical logging practices and forest regeneration.
Scott Jones, Co-Owner of The Stair Guys, shares, “Our decision to prioritise sustainable timber is about making responsible choices today that will benefit future generations. It’s craftsmanship with a conscience.”
“We’re not just building staircases; we’re building a supply chain that prioritises people and the planet.”
– Tom Abbott, Co-Owner
The Stair Guys' Commitment to Sustainable Sourcing
At The Stair Guys, we’ve taken bold steps to ensure our timber sourcing aligns with our sustainability goals:
- 100% Scandinavian Redwood: By 2025, all of our softwood components will be sourced exclusively from Scandinavia, ensuring high quality and responsible forest management.
- European Oak Components: We’re transitioning our oak stair parts, including handrails and treads, to reliable European suppliers known for their sustainable forestry practices.
- Reduced Transportation Impact: Shorter supply routes drastically cut down carbon emissions, minimising our environmental footprint without compromising on quality.

Complying with EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) ensures that timber imported into the EU is deforestation-free, meaning it cannot come from land cleared after December 31, 2020. At The Stair Guys, we’re fully aligned with these requirements to remain at the forefront of ethical timber sourcing.
By prioritising EUDR-compliant timber, we guarantee that every component we supply is sourced responsibly, supporting forest regeneration and ethical logging practices. This not only aligns with upcoming legal requirements but also strengthens our commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship.

The Balance of Quality and Responsibility
At The Stair Guys, maintaining our reputation for top-notch craftsmanship is as important as our environmental responsibility. By using sustainable timber, we ensure that every staircase meets our high standards while reducing environmental impact. Our staircases combine durability, beauty, and sustainability without compromise.
We’re proud to partner with organisations like Carbon Neutral Britain to showcase what’s possible when quality and responsibility come together.
Paving the Way for a Greener Industry
At The Stair Guys, we believe businesses have a responsibility to lead by example. Our approach to sustainable timber sourcing sets a standard we hope others in the construction and home improvement industries will follow.
“We’re showing that sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on quality,” says Scott Jones. “By working together, businesses can drive real change and leave a positive impact on our planet.”
