Outdoor staircases play a vital role in both residential and commercial properties. Whether it’s a fire escape for an apartment block or external steel access for an industrial unit, these structures must combine strength, safety, and functionality.
Why External Staircases Matter
Unlike internal stairs, outdoor staircases are exposed to the elements all year round. This means they need to be designed and fabricated using materials that withstand harsh weather and heavy use. That’s where steel comes in. Galvanised or powder-coated steel ensures longevity and corrosion resistance—ideal for safety-critical applications like fire escapes.
Fire Escape Stairs for Compliance and Safety
Fire escapes are more than just a secondary exit. They are a legal requirement for many buildings and must meet strict building regulations. Riteweld Engineering designs and fabricates custom fire escape stairs that not only meet these regulations but also fit the layout of your property.
- Anti-slip treads for safety in all weather
- Handrails and balustrades for added stability
- Sturdy platforms for intermediate landings and safe descent
