Let an iron staircase become a part of your building project
Perhaps one of the obvious choice for an iron staircase is a spiral staircase. These can be for both interior use as well as exterior, and can add some drama within a confined space. The iron staircase does not have to be only in the residential building project. Commercial iron stairs can incorporate the lovely detailing of wrought iron, as well as the more staid appearance of fire escape stairs.

Use a steel staircase in commercial and residential applications
Builders often think of installing steel stairs in commercial applications because steel withstands constant use as well as the weather. One frequent use of steel staircases is in multifamily homes, for both as exterior staircases, as well as fire escapes. A classic use of steel stairs in residential settings as spiral stairs. Never underestimate the statement a spiral stair will make.
Try: Tri-City Fabricating and Jerdan Door & Frame manufacturer commercial steel stairs. Stairways makes residential steel stairs--their stainless steel spiral stairs are show-stoppers.
Rely on industrial steel stairs for industrial applications
Industrial steel staircases are designed to withstand the abuse of constant use as well as designed to be safe. As with commercial stairs, these stairs must meet OSHA's strict guidelines. But industrial staircases do not necessarily have to be without personality. They can have personality as well as functionality like the stairs inside the Statue of Liberty. More traditional industrial steel staircases meet OSHA's strict standards and can have checkered or pierced treads to lessen the risk of slipping.
Try: Brakewell Steel Fabricators manufacturers industrial steel staircases with character, while Cubic Designs manufactures the more traditional staircases.
- Pre-engineered steel stairs work well in industrial applications. These can fit the space, and can be a good option for your business.
