Staircases

Different Types of Staircases

At Baker Steel Trading we are experts in steel stair design and installation, having fabricated steel stairs including

(but not limited to):

Straight steel staircases

Straight steel staircases are popular architectural choices due to their durability, versatility, and sleek appearance. Offering exceptional strength and resistance to wear and tear, ensuring longevity, they’re often used in commercial spaces, industrial facilities, and residential structures. Straight steel staircases can be customised to fit specific design requirements, offering flexibility in terms of size, shape, and finishes. They’re ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic and offer both modern appeal and structural reliability.

Security stairs

Security stairs (AKA emergency stairs or fire escape stairs) are an integral part of building safety systems. They provide a dedicated and secure means of evacuation during emergencies, such as fires or power outages. The benefits of security stairs are their ability to ensure quick and efficient evacuation, separate from elevators or other potentially hazardous areas.

These stairs are typically constructed with fire-resistant materials and designed to withstand extreme conditions. Security stairs are found in various types of buildings, including commercial complexes, residential high-rises, hospitals, hotels, and educational institutions, improving safety and providing peace of mind for occupants and visitors.

Spiral staircases

Spiral staircases revolve around a central column, forming a helical or spiral shape. Their  unique, visually pleasing design means they can be found in various architectural styles throughout history. Why are they so popular? Compactness, architectural charm, versatility in design and installation, improved circulation, and suitability for both indoor and outdoor use.

Spiral staircases are found in residential buildings, commercial spaces, historical structures, outdoor environments, and specialised settings like museums. However, due to their spiral nature, they may not be the most practical choice for individuals with mobility issues or for transporting bulky items. Building codes and regulations often dictate safety and accessibility requirements for spiral staircases.

Enclosed stairs

Enclosed stairs provide improved safety, security, and privacy in buildings. They can serve as fire escapes, preventing the spread of smoke and fire. Noise reduction is another big advantage, making them ideal for offices, hotels, and residential complexes. Enclosed stairs offer confidentiality, so are commonly found in hospitals, schools, as well as residential buildings. Building codes regulate their dimensions, materials, and fire safety features.

Customised steel staircases

Because customised steel staircases are versatile and durable, they can be tailored to suit specific design requirements and architectural preferences. Their inherent strength ensures longevity and stability, making them a reliable choice. These staircases are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings, as well as industrial spaces. Customised steel staircases can be designed to fit any space, whether it’s a grand sweeping staircase or a compact design. They provide a modern and sleek appearance – a practical and visually appealing solution for various applications.
