Stair Widths
Most of the models we supply are available in two widths – generally the smaller suitable as a secondary stair and the larger as a main stair in the house. Some of the space saving systems are only supplied in one width – a smaller width to minimise the stair’s footprint.
Materials
Virtually all the staircases are supported using an interlocking steel spine. This create an open cantilevered feel to the stairs allowing the passage of light. The ‘vertebrae’ of the spine tend to be in slightly different shapes and all are powder coated. The treads are timber and the finishes vary with each model. Balustrade down the side generally consists of vertical steel spindles or horizontal wires / rails.
Floor to Floor Heights
The beauty of these kit systems is that the height of each step is adjustable. The standard 13 riser kit for example will suffice for 90% of floor to floor heights. The variations in height adjustments varies between models but additional steps are available should your floor to floor height be greater than the maximum the standard kit can achieve.
Accessories
The most popular additional items that customers are matching landing balustrade to run around the opening upstairs and riser bars. Riser bars reduce the space between the treads to ensure a gap of less than 100mm. This is a regulation for domestic stairs in the UK.
