Galvanized Steel Exterior Spiral Stairs

Exterior installations of a stair require that it be constructed using only durable material. Steel that has been “hot-dipped galvanized” is such a material. The process begins by “hot-dip galvanizing” all of the individual component surfaces—inside and out. When the stair is assembled, all the joints are coated which prevents them from rusting. Now you have an exterior stair that is easy to take care of for years to come.

You can choose to leave the spiral stair in its natural light gray galvanized finish. If you prefer to have a specific color, the galvanized stair can be painted using the proper primer. The galvanizing greatly increases the life span of the paint and reduces the need to repaint the stair at a later date. So if you are looking for a cost- effective yet durable stair, look at our Galvanized Steel stair packages.

Tread Styles

GT-1. Standard steel tread.

GT-2. Curved Up steel tread. Provides a thinner profile.

GT-4. Long Curved steel tread. Provides a graceful profile.

GT-5. Ivy stencil steel tread with closed ends. Provides a decorative feel.

Balcony and Deck Rails
Another consideration when purchasing a galvanized steel stair is railing for your deck or balcony. Railing is intended as a safety feature to protect people from falling, but it can be coordinated to match the stair railing and fit into your over-all style. Although you may choose a stair with a wide baluster spacing, the balusters on the balcony and deck railing are spaced at 4" or less, which is what the national building code requires.

Classic Style Railing
• Available in straight sections only.
• Strong 1" x 1" steel Frame.
• Round steel balusters that match the
  balusters on the stair.
• This railing system is pre-welded to the
  required lengths.
• Optional, matching railing top
  1 1/2" Round Steel Top
