Stairs are always used for connecting main areas of house or just for imparting style and character to the house. The combinations one can use are endless as one can use straight stairs, landings or turns.

These can be made in different colors and forms that may vary according to the taste and desires of the user and can thus be matched according to the room. One can also consider getting prefabricated stairs of different kinds, which come in all possible options.

Prefabricated stairs are very safe and can be conveniently used for both indoor as well as outdoor installations. These stairs can be used for both permanent and temporary use and are generally used for accessing landings, roofs, decks and mezzanines.

Prefabricated stairs are available in a broad range of materials, specially for the exterior use, and some of the important features that are found in the prefabricated stairs are that they come with integral rails, landing platforms and can be anywhere from 24” to 48” length wise. These prefabricated stairs are available in a range of materials such as fiberglass, reinforced plastic, pre-cast concrete as well as wrought iron and are even available with concrete foundations to be used with a door system.

Since these prefabricated stairs are made and assembled in a controlled factory environment, the product can easily achieve economies of scale and thus be able to compete easily on price with the custom made staircases. These stairs have another advantage that they can be used once they are installed thus saving that precious time spent in building the staircases themselves.

A custom made staircase takes one skilled carpenter about 6 hours to build, but prefabricated stairs take less than an hour to install. This can be a major cost saver as labor is one of the major costs in building a staircase. The prefabricated stairs are carpeted with recycled material by most of the manufacturers, which in turn reduces the cost considerably over the custom made and a benefit, which is passed on to the customer. Another implication of the cost in case of custom made products are that the treads may be sometime cracked, cupped or bowed thus making the particular block unusable for building stairs. The most widely used stocks for making the staircase is that of spruce, pine and fur, but custom wood treads are available in wide range like brazilian cherry, walnut and oak.

The stairs can be prefabricated in form of L shaped landing, U shaped staircase, 180 degree with one or two landings, curved, spiral or a hour glass form. These staircases are made up of perforated material and are non-grating with a non-skid finish. The staircases come with side risers and rounded tubular safety rails. One of the biggest advantage of the prefabricated staircases is that they are adaptable to all kinds of installations.

Prefabricated stairs greatly reduce the construction time and thus allows detailed planning of the construction process with high standards of quality. The development of prefabricated staircase is done by taking into account all types of conditions like ease of collection, portability and adaptability of bounds to the requirements of the project. Thus resulting in a most simple, safe, economical staircase.

The specific design of the staircase allows for easy storage and handling of the staircase in tight spaces. The geometric accuracy of the industrial tools used in manufacturing ensures the positioning of stairs and landings. These can be handled with ease while installation as the cranes that are used for the installation, as well as the landings and the stairs can be easily carried separately.The simplicity of the system offers significant savings in time required for the implementation.

Also, less skilled labor is required for the installation as one does not need a staff with a high degree of skill or experience in order to attain a total quality staircase.
