Stairs & Staircases

External Stairs & Balustrading

There are different types of external stairs, from car park staircases to fire escape stairs. External staircases are quite common on multi-level apartment buildings, shopping malls, schools and universities. They can be decorative or just functional as an additional exit or entry point. Fire escape stairs, of course, are built to special specifications and serve as an exit in case of fire. Whatever the purpose, the materials used to build the staircase must be durable and capable of lasting through harsh weather conditions.

External balustrades serve both an important safety function and a key aesthetic purpose. External balustrades are used in pool fencing, external stairs, playground fencing, balconies/porches/verandas, ramps for the disabled and so on.
