When choosing what floor to remodel, homeowners often overlook the area in between.
A beautiful, strong spiral staircase can complete a space, but how do you make the addition truly yours? At Tuckey Metal Fabricators, Inc., we have the knowledge and equipment to generate a custom metal staircase for your property’s interior or exterior.
Our custom metal fabrication process opens up many possibilities for functional and aesthetic purposes. You can choose the composition from a single metal or a combination. The versatility of stainless steel can function indoors with a sleek, stainless finish or withstand outdoor weather with a rugged galvanized construction. Homes throughout Carlisle, PA and the surrounding area have added aluminum and ornate brass into their designs as well.
An important residential code requirement for spiral staircases is a minimum width of 26 inches for each tread, and each must be identical. To give enough clear walking space, a diameter of at least 3 feet 6 inches is recommended for most spiral stairs. Homeowners can widen their staircase for more comfort, and this influences how large the opening through the floor must be.
When it comes to measuring height, you must know the distance between the finished surfaces of the upper and lower floor, accounting for any layers of concrete, tile or carpet.
Stairs can descend clockwise or counterclockwise, often by 30 degrees per tread. Your staircase plan should anticipate where the spiral will open on each level, and accommodate the headroom requirement of 6 feet 6 inches.
Often, spiral staircase treads will extend from a central metal column that’s bolted at its base to the floor. Each tread is either welded or fastened to the pole. Your stairs can also attach along your wall for a partial turn, saving needed space and opening the spiral where it’s most convenient.
