As a symbol of fine craftsmanship,
curved stairways have made a valiant
stand against automation. Even the factory-
built ones have always been laborintensive
items. But that's starting to
change. Fiberwood Stairway s are true
radius semicircle stairs that are built with
modern techniques to achieve a traditional
result. The Fiberwood carriage is
made from molded fiberglass, and
includes the finished risers and skirtboards;
the treads, railings, and balusters
are made from solid wood. The result,
says the company that makes it, is a
strong, squeak-free structure that looks
like a traditional stair but that costs less
and installs in a fraction of the time.
