Customized straight stairs can also be given a complex design structure, only if you want them to be attractive yet simple to use. Our professional steel fabricators using the latest tools and CNC equipment can reduce the construction time drastically and provide you the best quality product.
Spiral Stairs:
These stairs are generally used in areas having less space or in compact places where you want to save space. Additionally, this type of steel stairs increases the overall aesthetic appeal of your property. These stairs are most often misinterpreted as curved stairs. Although both types of stairs follow a helical arc, spiral stairs are usually made very compact and the treads encircle a center pole.
Curved Stairs:
Curved stairs, when seen from far, they appear as the normal, straight stairs. However, when you take a closer look at these curved stairs, they appear extremely elegant. In addition, these stairs are versatile as they can fit in with most design aesthetics. Also, their large steps enable people to climb up the stairs comfortably.
U-shaped Stairs:
U-shaped stairs are also known as half turn or switchback stairs. Basically, they consist of two straight stairs paralleled by a landing, with a 1800 turn. These stairs can be easily constructed as they consist of a simple design having straight stairs. These are most commonly found in tall residential and commercial buildings.
