Kit Form Staircase
Kit Form Staircases
“Installing a basic steel staircase that has been supplied in kit-form can be a simple task for most competent tradesmen or even DIY enthusiasts as most of the hard work has been completed with the design and fabrication. More complicated stairs with changes of direction, spirals or multi-flight stairs may however be best left to the professionals...”
If you came looking for information on the flimsy mass-produced staircases that fit together with an allen key, you’re unfortunately in the wrong place…... We can however assist with bespoke steel staircases that are manufactured to order to your exact requirements. Our stairs are very substantial and fully building regulation compliant yet still designed to fit together in largely kit form, with some basic tools. We provide both basic external fire escape and access stairs as well as more attractive wow-factor designs with a range of glass, stainless steel and timber options.
Kit form staircases will typically comprise:
Steel stringers with welded connection plates, holed to suit tread plates.
Individual tread plates with bolts to connect between stringers.
Balustrade / handrails to suit. Most balustrades or railings are a fully welded construction supplied in a large panel, that will simply bolt to the stair stringers pre-drilled holes. Where glass balustrades are used, the posts are preassembled and the handrails all pre-drilled for easy, fast installation.
Larger staircases may incorporate landings, kite-winders, half landings or more complicated balustrade systems that are all still manufactured to be installed in a kit-format, but perhaps more suited to a skilled installer, builder or tradesman than your average DIY enthusiast.
All our steel staircases are manufactured to order and typically take between 3-6 weeks to complete, depending on the specification. Each stair will be supplied with a declaration of performance to warrant the construction as is required legally under BS-EN1090 regulations and used for building control sign-off.
