Feature Staircase

Elevating Design: Custom Feature Staircase Solutions for Iconic Spaces

Bespoke Design Meets Technical Excellence

Our approach to steelwork staircase design is rooted in a deep understanding of the material’s capabilities and the latest in engineering principles. We meticulously analyse every aspect of the staircase’s design, from stress-strain relationships to vibration design, ensuring a seamless blend of form and function. Our designs comply with SCI P354 guidelines, ensuring your staircase meets the highest standards of safety and performance.

Finite Element Analysis: The Backbone of Our Designs

At the heart of our design process is finite element analysis (FEA). This powerful tool allows us to simulate and evaluate the complex stress-strain behaviors of steel staircases under various conditions. By predicting how your staircase will perform, we can optimise its design for both durability and aesthetics, ensuring a final product that stands the test of time.

Vibration Design: Ensuring Comfort and Stability

Understanding and mitigating vibration is crucial in the design of feature staircases. Our vibration design techniques ensure that your steelwork staircase not only meets aesthetic and structural requirements but also provides a comfortable experience for users. We focus on minimising vibration levels to enhance the usability and comfort of your space.

Compliance with SCI P354

Compliance with SCI P354 is at the forefront of our design process. This standard guides the design of steelwork for buildings, including feature staircases, ensuring safety, reliability, and performance. By adhering to these guidelines, we deliver steelwork staircase designs that are not only beautiful but also meet rigorous structural requirements.
