A Unique Helical Stair by Spiral Staircase Systems

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

The Helical Staircase from Spiral Staircase SystemsSpiral Staircase Systems are leaders in bespoke contemporary stair design, building them from glass, acrylic, timber, stone and metal. Each and every stair is purpose designed for a specific site.

Spiral has achieved a first, by building a spectacular Helical Stair from glass supported on a single tubular stringer, which makes the spiral stair extremely elegant, giving it a sculptural feel that is rare with domestic stairs.

In order to support the toughened glass treads and balustrade panelling on a single helical stringer, Spiral designed a system of cast stainless steel brackets that not only perform the required structural task, but also keep the stair compliant with building regulations.

Usually risers have to be added to the back of each tread to remove gaps greater than 100mm in diameter, however the cast supports also fulfilled this requirement.

The SS 601 helical stair was designed as the key feature for a two-story conservatory in a Baronial hall. This is indeed a unique spiral staircase.
