Tread materials
Steel plate, chequered plate, wood, tile or glass treads suit different looks. Wood or tile treads add comfort, while steel plate suits outdoors. Choose non-slip surfaces outdoors.
Handrails and safety
Handrails at 90 cm, balusters spaced under 10 cm and non-slip treads prevent falls. Spiral stairs need wide enough treads. Check local building rules for tread and rise.
Load and structure
Stairs need a strong stringer, solid anchoring at top and bottom and enough foundation. Poorly anchored stairs shake and can fail. Ask the fabricator for details and use an engineer for tall stairs.
Welding and rust protection
Good welds are continuous and clean. Protect with red oxide primer, enamel paint or galvanising, and repaint regularly, especially for outdoor stairs.
Design and permission notes
External stairs may need approval from building authorities or neighbours, especially on boundary walls. Check rules before fabrication. Place the ladder on firm, level ground, keep three points of contact, never overreach and check it for damage before each use. Fixed work at height should use a trained person and proper fall protection.
Before you decide
Get a written quote with design, thickness and finish, and check the anchoring and local rules. Compare at least two quotes on the same specification, keep the invoice and warranty card, ask for the model name and material in writing and test the product on your own door or in your own room before paying in full. Keep a spare key, card or code record in a safe place, and ask the seller what happens if the item fails within the warranty period. Photographs of the delivered item and its packaging make any claim much simpler later. Prices change with exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
