Aesthetic and durable custom steel stairs from Scarboro Steel Works Inc. in Scarborough, Ontario.

Can you imagine a residential, commercial, or industrial space without stairs? Neither can we! For both functional and visual reasons, stairs are too important to ignore. As an architect, designer, contractor, or engineer, the important question is—which stairs to go with? 

Scarboro Steel Works Inc. in Scarborough, Ontario, offers the best custom steel stairs in Toronto and the GTA. Established in 1950, we have over 75 years of experience in steel fabrication. Drawing from our experience, we list in this blog what makes custom steel stairs a better choice over standard stair systems.

 

What Makes Custom Steel Stairs So Popular?


What do you think will impress your clients more? Standard stairs or custom-fabricated steel stairs made with your client’s preference and taste in mind? Custom stairs often fare as the better option for diverse spaces. They allow you to exercise increased control over quality and execution. 

 

What Are Some Benefits of Steel Stairs?

 

Built With Specific Purpose


No two spaces or clients have the same requirements. For some, the primary purpose of stairs might be the transportation of goods between levels. For others, the goal would be to build a focal point that accentuates the existing decor. Customization allows you to realize all the goals without having to limit creativity or frustrating the clients.

 

Strength And Safety


Not everything is about visual appeal and aesthetics. Strength and safety are prerequisites of any architectural element, and stairs are no different. Built of structural steel, custom stairs offer impressive strength and safety. Features like light weight, strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance make them cost-effective and durable.
