Custom steel stairs — exterior, interior and spiral

Interior and exterior steel stairs for houses, upper floors and lofts — frame, treads and railing from one workshop, installed anywhere in Montenegro.

Custom steel stairs — exterior, interior and spiral

STEEL STAIR FABRICATION IN MONTENEGRO

Made-to-measure steel stairs for houses, apartments and commercial buildings: interior and exterior, straight, with a landing, spiral and loft stairs. We make the load-bearing steel frame, treads and railing — from measuring to installation.

  • Steel frame on a single or twin stringer
  • Spiral and circular stairs from Ø120 cm
  • External stairs to an upper floor, galvanised and coated
  • Timber, stone or steel treads, plus the railing

We work across Montenegro — Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Budva, Bar and Podgorica. Measuring is free within 60 km of our workshop in Podi.

Exterior steel stairs

EXTERIOR STEEL STAIRS

Exterior steel stairs are usually a separate entrance to an upper floor or terrace. We build the frame on two steel stringers and add a landing when a flight has more than 18 steps or the stairs change direction.

By the sea, protection matters more than shape: we hot-dip galvanise the frame, then powder coat it, and make the handrail in stainless steel. Treads are galvanised grating or chequer plate — they stay grippy in the rain and do not hold water.

The foot of the stairs is anchored into a concrete foundation or slab, the top into a wall or the terrace edge. If there is no foundation yet, we give your builder the dimensions and anchor positions.

Interior steel stairs

INTERIOR STEEL STAIRS

The type depends on the space: straight or turning on one or two stringers where a flight fits, spiral from 120 cm diameter where it does not, and steeper loft stairs where the opening in the slab is small.

The frame stays visible, so we powder coat it in any RAL colour — most often black or anthracite. Treads are usually oak or ash: we prepare each steel step with supports and holes, so your joiner can fit the timber.

Before fabrication we measure the finished floor on both levels and confirm the finish thickness, so every step has the same rise.

TYPES OF STEEL STAIRS

01

Single stringer

A central box-section beam with treads on cantilevers. A light, modern look for interior stairs — but it needs a heavier frame and precise fixing.

02

Twin stringer

The classic steel frame with beams on both sides. The most economical and the strongest option, suited to wide flights and outdoor stairs.

03

Spiral and circular

Around a central column, where there is no room for a straight flight. From 120 cm diameter up — below that they are hard to use every day.

04

External stairs to an upper floor

A separate entrance to a floor or terrace. Hot-dip galvanised and powder coated, with grating or chequer-plate treads that stay grippy in the rain.

05

Loft stairs

Steeper and narrower, for spaces where a full flight will not fit. We calculate the pitch and headroom so they are safe, not just squeezed in.

06

Cantilevered, into the wall

Treads fixed straight into a load-bearing wall with no visible stringer. Only possible on concrete or solid brick — we check that on site.

THE DIMENSIONS THAT MATTER

15–18 cm

Rise per step

Identical on every step. A difference of just 5 mm is already felt underfoot.

26–30 cm

Tread depth

Room for the whole foot. Steeper loft stairs can go shallower.

2R + G ≈ 63 cm

The stride rule

Two rises plus one going give an adult's natural stride.

80 cm +

Flight width

For interior stairs in a house; 100 cm or more if furniture goes up them.

90–100 cm

Railing height

Measured from the tread nosing. Gaps in the infill up to 12 cm, for children.

200 cm +

Headroom

From the tread to the ceiling or beam — the dimension most often forgotten in lofts.

We work out the exact number and rise of the steps from finished floor to finished floor, including the thickness of the tread finish.

TREADS, RAILING AND PROTECTION

Treads

Oak or ash timber treads, stone, or steel treads in chequer plate and galvanised grating. We use steel treads for outdoor stairs and plant rooms.

Railing and handrail

Steel railings for interior stairs in mild or stainless steel — with bars or cables — and a timber or stainless handrail.

Protection and colour

Indoors, powder coating in any RAL colour. Outdoors and by the sea, hot-dip galvanising before coating is a must.

FROM OUR PROJECTS

WHAT DETERMINES THE PRICE OF STEEL STAIRS

Steel stairs are not priced by the metre — each set is made for a specific opening and height. Five things drive the price most.

After measuring we send a drawing and a fixed price within 48 hours. Measuring is free within a 60 km radius.
  1. Height and number of steps A taller floor means more steps and longer, heavier stringers.
  2. Shape Straight stairs cost least; a landing, a turn or a spiral takes more work.
  3. Frame type Twin side stringers cost less than a single central or cantilevered design.
  4. Treads and railing Steel treads and a simple infill cost less than oak, stone or glass.
  5. Corrosion protection Outdoor stairs by the sea need hot-dip galvanising: more up front, but they last for decades.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT STEEL STAIRS

How long does it take to make steel stairs?

We send the drawing and quote within 48 hours. Fabrication in the workshop takes 7 to 21 days depending on shape and protection, and installation itself usually one to two days.

Can steel stairs have timber treads?

Yes. We prepare the frame for timber treads, with supports and holes in the right places, so your joiner can fit them. If you prefer, we can arrange the treads too.

How much space does a spiral staircase need?

The smallest usable diameter is 120 cm, and for comfortable everyday use we recommend 140–160 cm. The opening in the floor slab needs the same diameter.

Do exterior steel stairs rust by the sea?

Not if they are protected properly. We hot-dip galvanise the frame, then powder coat it, and make the handrail in stainless steel. The frame and coating carry a 5-year warranty.

Do you make the stair railing too?

Yes. We make the steel railing and handrail together with the stairs, in the same colour and with the same protection, and install everything in one visit.

What should I send for a quote?

The height from finished floor to finished floor, the size of the opening, a photo of the space and whether the stairs are indoors or outdoors. We send a quote with a drawing within 48 hours.

MATERIALS AND PROTECTION

By the sea it is the protection that decides, not the thickness of the steel. Before we quote, we ask where the structure will stand and how far it is from the water.

MILD STEEL

The strongest and cheapest option, but only with galvanising and powder coating. Left unprotected on the coast it rusts within a single season.

STAINLESS AISI 304 / 316

For handrails and railings by the sea. AISI 316 where there is salt and spray, 304 for interiors and the inland areas.

ALUMINIUM

Light and rust-free — for lightweight structures and parts that are hard to reach for maintenance.

HOT-DIP GALVANISING

Immersion in molten zinc protects the inside of the profile as well. Powder coating in your RAL colour goes on top.
