Fire Escapes and Safety Compliance

If you own a multi-story building, a safe fire escape is a legal requirement. Consequently, we take this responsibility very seriously. We build our steel stairs and fire escapes to meet strict safety standards.  Also, we ensure the correct width, tread depth, and handrail height. This means that in an emergency, your staff can exit the building quickly and safely. Finally, we can work with your architect to ensure full compliance.

Industrial Access Stairs

Factories and warehouses often need access to mezzanines or plant rooms. For this reason, we build heavy-duty industrial stairs. Unlike light internal stairs, these are built to withstand heavy boots and constant use.  In addition, we use non-slip treads. Whether you choose “Durbar” checker plate or open mesh flooring, we ensure excellent grip. Thus, you prevent slips and trips in the workplace.

Durable Finishes for Outdoors

Most fire escapes are located outside. Therefore, they must be protected from the weather. We recommend a hot-dipped galvanized finish for all external steel stairs and fire escapes.

Because this process coats the steel in zinc, it becomes rust-proof. Furthermore, we can powder coat the steel to match your building. As a result, you get a safety structure that lasts for decades without maintenance.
