3 Steel Staircases that will transform your open plan living space

Open plan living spaces require steel staircases that offer unique designs that keep the natural flow of the interior between rooms. A stair must not only draw attention in the area but also demands safety and durability.

Many of today’s modern interiors offer open plan living spaces. Design concepts that cater to people who love entertaining and spending time with family and friends. Living areas are joined into one large space to hold contact and conversation. In a home that offers more than one level, a stair is a pre-requisite. Instead of having a staircase design that is purely a means of transporting you to another level of the home, consider one of these  3 steel staircases to bring beauty and value to your new home.

These 3 steel staircases will transform your open plan living space by adding beauty to the interior without blocking the flow of the interior design.

Custom mild steel staircase with side fix glass balustrades and stainless handrail

This steel staircase is fabricated in mild steel with modern profiled laser-cut lines. The spaces between the treads are open, allowing light to move through the treads and the room. Mild steel gives you the option of painting the spine of the stair in the color of your choice. The stair treads are manufactured with mild steel tread pans, then filled with concrete and afterward, tiled. A brass strip finishes off the edge of each step beautifully. This staircase design offers a side-fix plate to which a frameless glass balustrade panel is fixed with a stainless steel balustrade component.

This living space boasts a single stainless steel round stringer tube that forms the basis of the structure. Stainless steel tread plates hold safety-engineered glass treads. A frameless glass balustrade is fixed to the side of the structure and includes a stainless steel handrail which is offset from the glass balustrade edge. As a good safety measure, a self -closing glass gate can be added to prevent mobile toddlers from accessing the staircase. Stainless steel is an environmentally friendly and low maintenance material option for this staircase design leaving you with minimal cleaning and future upkeep of the structure.
