Building a Functional and Beautiful Steel Staircase

Staircases are perhaps one of the most functional—and one of the most underappreciated—aspects of modern architecture. They are a great way to get up and down in any building or home, but they can also play a crucial role in the aesthetics of your home or business. The right or wrong steel staircase can completely change the way your room looks. If you are ready to build stairs, here are some considerations to get the perfect steel staircase from Wasatch Steel for your home or business.

Consider Function

There are so many different types of steel out there that you can get the exact material you need for whatever kind of staircase you intend to build. If you are building a functional steel staircase for a work area that needs to have the right traction for safety reasons, you can get perforated steel, diamond plate, and other materials that will ensure the safety of your workforce. On the other hand, if you are hoping to add a beautiful accent piece to your existing architecture at home, the type of steel you choose will be entirely different. Perhaps you will prefer to go with a unique shape, color, or style that can add a new dimension to your home’s style. You can find several different options at the steel supermarket at Wasatch Steel.

Consider Style

While steel might seem like a cold, characterless material to use for your stairs, it is in fact quite the opposite. The right stylistic touches can bring out the life of your steel in a way that no other material can. Finishes like powder coating can add color and life to your steel, while small details in the finish can allow you to have a one-of-a-kind staircase that truly matches your home. You can also get steel balusters and rails that come in a wide variety of styles, including nature shapes, geometric shapes, abstract shapes, and more.

Consider Costs

Steel is also a beneficial material to use for your staircase because it can be a cost-effective option. It is one of the strongest and most durable metals available, which means your steel staircase will be built to last. When you shop at Wasatch Steel, you can find the materials you need for just about any steel staircase that you can imagine, all at very reasonable prices. In addition steel is a very lightweight material, making it inexpensive to ship and keeping costs low when you purchase it for your staircase. The light weight also ensures that it can be used for just about any architectural setup.

Steel staircases can add dramatic flair to your home or office, or they can simply be a very functional and affordable option to ensure the safety of your employees.
