Stairs are an integral part of structure, whether you have a one floor house or with two floors
or living in a tall skyscraper, stairs have to be there, even if it means only two steps. Height
from the ground gives a special feel to whole architecture. Metal stairs in many ways are
regarded as a better option over other materials available in the market. They give you
advantage of durability, strength and flexibility of designing and color to suit the style of the
structure, giving a feeling of completeness.
Before, we begin our search for materials, we should first understand or rather realise the
purpose for which we need the staircase, it makes the choice easy and speeds up the work.
All the materials come with their own pros and cons. If metal can give strength and space to
your imagination, wood can bring back those old memories of bygone era and stone can add
more strength. Practical advantages of metal outweigh all other materials and gradually
becoming the preferred choice for modern architecture.

project.
