A typical spiral staircase installation in Cambridgeshire.

This was designed based on the guidance of BS 5395 Pt2 and the current building regulations and conformed to
'stair category - E' usage ('public') and the 100mm sphere rule.

Typically our spiral staircase designs follow a modular construction approach. This allows for easier handling,
transport and installation. The galvanizing process also benefits from this method as components are less
susceptible to heat deformation due to incorrectly welding heavy and light gauge materials together in the same
component.

Here we see a standard type industrial staircase.

A free-standing, modular bolted construction employing laser cut profiles, folded treads and welded joints throughout
where appropriate. This type of design is not suitable for areas where the public have access.

A bespoke designed fire escape for a large domestic residence.

This installation had to incorporate gallows type fixing brackets for the upper level as conventional supports where not
possible. The finish is powder coat paint over hot dip galvanize protection.

This installation provides access to an underground plant room.

The unit straddles a pit containing fire sprinkler mains pipework which is in-turn buried under pea-gravel.
Support is at the ends only. Pit plates where also supplied to retain the gravel (not shown here).

Glazed balustrading to the upper concourse.

Feature staircase for entrance lobby.

Designed with an oval section backbone chassis and incorporating laser cut folded tread pans (concrete filled).
Balustrade panels are also laser cut with perforations small enough to prevent a childs finger from becoming stuck.

Safety guarding.

Matching balustrading was incorporated into the design of this staircase in order to prevent casual access to the
underside and rear of the structure.

Wall mount handrails.

We have designed many installations of wall mount handrail using a variety of profiles and materials. Some
installations have incorporated two parallel rails in order to comply with school or DDA regulations.

A staircase designed for a junior school in Newark.

The result was a three flight structure turning through 180 degrees with a fully guarded upper gallery area. The
majority of the construction was in steel, with timber handrailing and cement screed treads.

Heavy duty steelwork for a mezzanine floor installation.

No supports were adopted in this assembly. All of the support came from pad stones introduced into the existing
walls. External pockets were produced to slide the main beams into position from outside the building.

45mm thick laminated glass treads with 19mm thick toughened glass balustrading.

An interlocking laser cut fabrication forming the structural skeleton of a domestic feature staircase.

This structure is fixed at the ends only thus giving a floating effect.

The previous staircase skelton is fully clad with oak timber to give the illusion of a floating timber saw-tooth
construction. Guarding is accomplished using 12mm thick toughened glass panels fixed to the assembly via
large stainless steel button fixings. The upper gallery area is also guarded in the same manner.

A space-saver staircase designed for loft space access.

This unit was fully constructed from oak timber and clear toughened glass balustrading.

The design complies with BS 5395 Pt1, part 'K' of the building regulations and the 100mm sphere rule regarding
child access.

Steel pan floor structure.

Modular steelwork directly fixed to the adjacent masonry. The whole structure was then covered with folded steel trays,
welded together before being filled with a suitable cement screed.

Unsupported stair flight and landing.

This installation prevented the use of conventional supports so the landing and two associated stair flights for
each of three levels were designed for chem-fixing to the well walls.
