Be Bold! Go Spiral! Smile More!
If space is an issue for an exterior landing, then a spiral staircase and matching railing might be the solution you were waiting for! Without a doubt, it makes a statement and adds visual appeal – but it also is cost effective, safe, can last a lifetime, and adds value to your home or business.
Maintenance
Outdoor spiral staircases and railing are always going to face more challenges than indoor designs. Not only do they need to stand up to elements, but they also must fit into a space’s design. Upkeep will be the same as for all other exterior iron pieces, but with a minimal amount of time / money invested it can last for generations. Perhaps the most common use for outdoor spiral staircases is for backyard multi-level decks and balconies. In these cases, the staircase can add an interesting visual element to your outdoor living space. Spiral staircases in the front of a home, on the other hand, can add elegance and boost your home’s curbside appeal.
Spiral staircase kits are great for using outdoors. If you are splitting a house into two flats and need to provide access to the top one, then a spiral staircase will make a fantastic choice. They’re also ideal for people who want to be able to access their garden from the balcony on their top floor bedroom. As we mentioned before, they don’t take up a lot of space, so you don’t have to worry about them taking over your garden.
In this case, natural elements such as the stone and brick contrast the iron railing and spiral staircase to create beautiful symmetry!
Key differences between spiral and traditional staircases
Obviously one of the key differences between spiral staircases and traditional stairs is their spiral design. This tends to be something you either like or loathe but we’ve found that the majority of people seem to like them. There’s something just so aesthetically pleasing about a spiral staircase and its beautiful curves. If you are looking to make a statement in your living room, hallway or even kitchen, then building a spiral staircase is sure to do the trick!
Space saving design
Aside from giving homes the wow factor, spiral staircases also benefit from having a space saving design. Sure, they do the same job as a traditional set of stairs, just in a lot less space. If you’re home is a modest size and you’re looking to make better use of the space available, then it’s well worth considering building a spiral staircase. They’re also particularly great for loft conversions where you need access but don’t want to have to spend the money on building a staircase.
Cost effectiveness
Speaking of money, spiral staircases also tend to be more cost effective than building a traditional staircase. Choose one of our affordably priced spiral staircase kits and you’ll save yourself a significant amount of cash. Not only that but our spiral staircase kits have been purposely designed for easy assembly.
