At C&C Fabrications, we specialise in the design and fabrication of bespoke steel staircases tailored to meet the demanding needs of your working environments. We know that when your business is designing or upgrading its facilities, certain elements (like staircases) demand more than just utility, they require reliability, strength, and long-term performance.
Whether it’s staircases for an office refurbishment or for an industrial warehouse, our team can create the bespoke solution your business needs. Here, we share our insights into why our steel staircases are the optimal solution for your business’s operations facility.
Which environments are most suited to steel staircases?
Steel staircases are essential in a variety of industrial and commercial settings, including:
Warehouses and logistics
Steel staircases can be essential for access to mezzanines, racking systems, or equipment platforms, offering unmatched strength and load-bearing capacity.
Manufacturing facilities
Factories often require multi-level access for machinery, control rooms, or elevated walkways. Steel’s durability is crucial in high-traffic, heavy-duty environments.
Processing facilities
These locations demand easy-to-clean, corrosion-resistant solutions. Stainless steel staircases are especially popular here for their hygiene and longevity properties.
Construction sites
Temporary or permanent stair access using steel ensures a quick installation onsite and provides high strength with minimal maintenance.
Office buildings
With high-foot traffic experienced throughout office spaces daily, steel staircases offer a solution which is highly durable, requires limited maintenance and can withstand large daily loads.
Why choose steel staircases?
Steel offers a wide range of advantages over other materials like wood or concrete, especially in different environments:
1. Strength and load-bearing capacity
Steel has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for supporting heavy foot traffic, equipment, and dynamic loads without the bulk of concrete. Choosing steel means your business can have a visually appealing, structurally sound staircase.
2. Durability and longevity
In changing environments such as manufacturing facilities, materials need to stand up to wear, impact, and exposure. Galvanised or stainless-steel resists corrosion, weathering, and physical damage over decades of use. This gives peace of mind that the staircase will remain safe in changing environments.
3. Customisation for complex layouts
At C&C, we know that no two facilities are the same, like our customers. Our team has the skills to fabricate steel into bespoke shapes and sizes to perfectly fit unique spaces, whether it’s tight corners, multi-level structures, or integrating with existing platforms. We can create the exact staircase solution to suit your business’ needs.
4. Fire resistance
Unlike timber, steel doesn’t burn, which is a critical feature in many industrial or high-risk environments, where fire safety is essential. By choosing a steel staircase, you can have peace of mind that your facility is going to benefit from fire-safe access.
5. Low maintenance
With protective finishes like powder coating, steel staircases require minimal upkeep, reducing their lifetime costs. Opting for a steel staircase in your business’ facilities ensures a cost-efficient investment into the long-term solution to suit the needs of your business.
Fabricated, not forced, to fit
At C&C Fabrications, we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions.
