Interior Stair · White Oak Frame + Stainless Cable Infill
Custom X-pattern white oak stair railing with stainless cable infill
This interior stair features a custom white oak frame with an X-pattern infill and stainless steel cables running through the design. The client wanted a clean, modern look that still felt warm and architectural.
To hit the requested post thickness, we laminated the white oak posts in-house. We also fabricated custom hardware to properly support the post loading and fit the unique geometry of the stair — including a special post mount where standard hardware just wouldn’t work.
The result is a high-level custom install that combines the strength of stainless cable with the character of white oak.
Interior cable stair railings are a clean way to open up a staircase while keeping it safe and code-compliant. Combining stainless cable with wood frames (like white oak or Ipe) gives the system both strength and warmth. These installs often require custom fabrication for posts, mounts, and hardware so everything fits the exact stair geometry.
On higher-end projects we regularly laminate posts and curved top rail to achieve specific thicknesses, fabricate custom end mounts, and run cables through custom infill patterns. The goal is a railing that looks intentional and refined while meeting all structural and safety requirements.
