Steel Stairs

Modern steel constructions for maximum design freedom

From the classic double-stringer stair to the delicate stringer stair – steel stairs offer the greatest freedom in design.

See how fast it works

Compared to wooden or stone stairs, steel stairs are relatively new. They only really became popular in the 1960s and 70s, when many single-family homes were built after the economic boom. At that time, many double-stringer stairs were built, often in the so-called harp style.

After the turn of the millennium, double-stringer stairs slowly came to be considered old-fashioned. In addition, this previously very inexpensive type of stair faced competition from the stringer stair, which suddenly became easy and cost-effective to produce with laser cutting. The necessary files came from the booming stair construction software.

Advantages:

  • Steel stairs offer the greatest freedom in design. The same applies to steel railings.
  • Steel stairs are delivered as a finished component to the construction site.
  • In some cases, temporary steps on a steel substructure can serve as a construction stair.
  • Due to the properties of the material, steel stairs can be constructed in very delicate forms.

Disadvantages:

  • If poorly executed, steel stairs can tend to vibrate.
  • Sound insulation is very important.
