Prefabricated metal stairs are an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor use and will surely fit any structure – whether it be for roof access or silos and bridges.

One of the many advantages of prefabricated stairs is the versatility they offer when it comes to both temporary and permanent usage. The majority of entrances can be accessed using prefabricated metal stairs, made possible by the fact that prefabricated metal stairs are adaptable to nearly all types of installations and come completely fabricated from the factory for easy assembly. Additional galvanizing, non-skid coatings, and perforated grating are available for safety and it is reccomended that you specify these options when you order your set of stairs. Whatever your need be – landings, platforms, decks, mezzanines or towers – prefabricated metal stairs will meet and exceed those expectations.

Before installation, the manufacturer will recommend either an excavation, footing, or a stoop ledge at the foundation wall for proper installation. The heights for the prefabricated metal stairs range from 3′-12’3″ and the designs that they’re available in are numerous.

The most attractive aspect of prefabricated metal stairs may well be their price. The price ranges from $170 to $850 depending on the size, handrails, precast concrete unit and landing features that you or your builder specify. Not only will the cost of the prefabricated metal stairs not burn a hole through your wallet but the installation will take no time at all when compared to installing a site built set of staircases.

Prefabricated metal stairs will have to meet the building codes and regulations set by the building and zone board of your state. Stairs that are used for the building’s primary exits will have to meet the provisions that are set by the IRC with a minimum width of 3 feet. For example, a handrail must be installed for stairs containing more than four risers, while the landing on one side can be no more than 7 inches from the door threshold and a minimum depth of 10 inches is reccomended.

Most prefabricated metal stairs will be delivered completely finished and ready to install as soon as they arrive. Do not go one more day without prefabricated metal stairs in your home or workplace. Prefab stairs are affordable, durable and will give you easy access for many years to come.
