Your Friendly Staircases

Friendly staircases are one of the most important means of movement between different levels. They should be designed with great sensitivity and attention should be paid on appropriate dimensions, materials and the detailing of treads and risers for a comfortable and safe transition between levels of both directions.

Landings

Landing provided after a maximum of 16 risers.

Nosing Strips

Treads of non-slip finish with permanent contrasting colour non-slip nosing strips integrated as part of the steps.

Handrail Extensions

Handrails on both sides of the staircase extending beyond the top and bottom steps.
