Steel staircases deliver strength in compact footprints — perfect for outdoor passages, lofts and commercial access. Use this checklist with Vortex Steel Welders.
1. Rise, going and headroom
Accurate site measure prevents trip hazards. We calculate tread dimensions to suit your floor-to-floor height and available run length.
2. Tread type
- Diamond / checker plate for outdoor anti-slip
- Open bar treads for drainage
- Closed treads for indoor architectural looks
3. Handrails and balustrades
Pair stairs with matching steel balustrades — round handrails and vertical balusters remain the most requested combination.
4. Finish for KZN weather
Outdoor stairs need primers and topcoats suited to humidity. See our rust prevention guide.
