Floor to Floor measurement: is there any guidance on how you get this measurement?
Use a tape measure or laser measure to measure the vertical distance between finished floor levels.
This is the distance from the finished floor (e.g. paved patio) to finished floor (decking/landing). You will need this measurement before you place your order so we can send you the right spiral staircase kit for your space.
Don't forget to specify the right base plate...
Do you provide fixings for securing the top of the stair?
When you make a spiral staircase, you will require fixings in order to secure the top of the stair. We do not supply these as they will vary depending on what you are fixing the stairs to.
How much do your staircase kits weigh?
This will depend on the size of stair you order but most of our staircase kits weigh between 300 and 400kg. With the maximum weight being 400kg.
Please consult your own structural engineer to ensure your foundation is adequate.
What material are your staircase kits made from?
Our kits are fabricated in steel with a nonslip pattern to the treads.

Technical information
column 1
Material: 3mm steel, galvanized
Hot dipped galvanized:
Our DIY spiral staircase kits for external use are hot dip galvanized which means they are long lasting and can stay maintenance free for decades.
Hot dip galvanising is when clean steel is immersed into molten zinc, a series of zinc-iron alloy layers are formed by a metallurgical reaction between the iron and zinc, providing a robust coating which is an integral part of the steel.
All our galvanised spiral stair kits are hot dipped in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and under the control of ISO 9001.
Treads: Are mild steel and come in two sizes 750mm radius and 950mm radius with standard 120mm front and back fold down in a non-slip tread plate pattern.
Balustrade: 22mm diameter balusters that are slotted to accommodate the aluminium coil handrail.
Handrail: 40mm x 6mm aluminium coil with PVC slotted handrail to go on top.
Rectangular landing:
With 750 tread radius: 814mm x 944mm
With 950 tread radius: 1014mm x 1144mm
