The Vector is a simple metal and hardwood space saver staircase kit made by an Italian company called Ehleva. The build quality is reasonably good and it is a fairly straight forward job to assemble it. Assembly can usually be carried out in a single day using standard tools for everything except cutting the cables – for which we sell special cutters if you need them.
The Vector can be arranged into many different formats such as a straight flight, an L shape or a U shape, and so can be adjusted to suit most houses. For more information please read the height and layout tab. Otherwise the most common queries about the Komoda modular staircase kit are:
What comes in the box?
Treads
Carriage modules (to form the steel structure) with top and bottom fixing plates
Handrail
Balusters
Cables
Two wall brackets
Support column
Written installation instructions and a DVD showing the assembly
What are the main parts made from?
The treads and handrail are made from beech (a good quality hardwood). They have been factory finished with two coats of a tough polyurethane varnish. This can either be a clear varnish or varnish mixed with a dark stain.
The balusters, carriage modules, fixing plates and support column are made from steel. They are powder coated and coloured either white, grey or black.
How can I tell if it will fit my house?
You need to take a few measurements and then carefully read the information we give on heights and layout and fixings. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our technical sales team on 0800 098 8778. We're here to help!
How is the delivery made?
The Vector modular staircase is supplied in kit form. It is shipped in a large plywood box on a wooden pallet and depending on the number of treads ordered there may be a few smaller cardboard boxes as well. The delivery is made using a large vehicle with a tail lift and a pump truck because the main box is too heavy to be lifted by hand. The driver will take the goods off the lorry and deliver them to the roadside outside your property, or as close as possible if you live on an unmade road. From there you will need to bring them into the building. If you need to do this by hand you can do so only by opening the box and carrying in the pieces inside. It is not possible to move the complete box by hand as it will weigh at least 240kg.
Will my new staircase meet building regulations?
Unfortunately it isn't possible for us to give you a simple yes or no answer to this question because there are different requirements for stairs depending on the envirorment where they are used. For example the rules applied to a staircase in a private house are different than those applied to a staircase in a shop or public place. Approved Document K from the Building Regulations explains what the requirements are but there are lots of factors to consider so if you need please contact our technical sales team on 0800 098 8778. Remember that it's your responsibility to determine whether or not your installation is subject to the Building Regulations.
