Why go for spiral stairs instead of straight ones?

i) Architecturally pleasing Spiral staircases are more slender and less dominating when compared to straight stairs. Spiral stairs always blend the surrounding sometimes even appearing as part of the interior furniture. ii) Flexible Spiral staircases are less steep in a small space as compared to straight stairs. Their left or right turning allows for several treads. iii) Light Design Spiral staircases are light since they don’t require heavy constructions to sustain extra load for the landings. iv) Saves Space Spiral staircases occupy less space as compared to straight stairs. If you have small space spiral stairs will save you the problem of congestion. v) Secure Spiral staircases are more secure. If you accidentally trip, balustrades are likely to guard you against injury since the spirals will give you the opportunity to grab the railing. vi) Easy to erect The spiral staircase kits are easy to assemble on site. You only need a spanner, an Allen wrench and a drilling machine.

Choosing the Right Spiral Staircase Kit

• Interior or Exterior The first consideration is if your stairs are for your interior or exterior. Spirals are defined by different characteristics; wood, iron and steel are always used for the interior while, aluminium and galvanised steel are often used for the exterior. • Wooden spiral stairs We don’t settle for just any wood; check on durability, grain pattern, versatility, and design complement on the wood. It is mandatory to ensure that the wood is shaped and constructed well. Another main consideration is the colour or pattern of your décor; which pattern of grain matches your décor, lighter or darker? Are you going for stained or painted steps? • Design After narrowing down your search, the next step is to look for the design. For instance, if you decide on wood, then examine the spiral assembly. However, if you want a classic look, go for steel, while for a rustic look iron is ideal. If you choose to colour then you need the colour that will match with your space. Be fully informed when making design decisions. • Galvanised steel This material is durable, maintenance free, and cost effective. While most of galvanised steel has a metallic grey finish, however, they can be easily painted. • Aluminium stairs Aluminium stairs have numerous customisation options than galvanised steel. Aluminium can be powder coated with a variety of colours to choose from. It can also be blended with wood, making it rust resistant and able to withstand extreme weather.
