Spiral staircases are an affordable way to save space, allow for ease of access between floors, and add value and visual interest. But how do you know what type of spiral staircase fits best for your space? Whether you choose a wood spiral staircase or a steel spiral staircase , both have unique qualities.

Step 1: Location, Functionality, and Color

A steel spiral staircase is an ideal choice for home or office and can be used indoors or outdoors. Indoor spiral staircases are great for open floor plans. They invite natural light in, and add value to the space. Outdoor steel spiral staircases are the perfect option to connect your deck to yard or patio spaces.

Our spiral stairs are already assembled at our factory to your personal specifications. Having the staircase already welded together means that you simply bolt the top landing up to where it goes, set the staircase up to the landing and vice grip the landing to the landing bracket. You will need to drill 4 holes into the landing then use the bolts supplied to bolt them together. Then bolt the base plate and the tabs on the bottom balusters down to the floor. If your stair is all steel you are done. If you have oak treads and or handrail, it comes un-finished. You will need to stain and finish the wood to your satisfaction and use the screws supplied to attach the wood parts to the stair.

In our last post, we said that wood staircases take longer to install. That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

Goddard Steel Spiral Staircases are usually built in 1 piece. Our customers often ask “how do we get them into the house”? A 5’ diameter steel spiral staircase will cork screw through a 36” door that measures at least 34 ½” from jam to jam. You will need to have a straight shot to where the staircase will go. The staircase will not fit down a hall way or through a small entry way getting them into the house. If you have a hall way that is not large enough for the staircase to go through we can build your staircase in 2 sections and bolt them back together using only 7 bolts and screws.
