The Classic Steel Stair with Refined Beauty

Salter Industries specializes in manufacturing pre-engineered spiral stair kits with all of the features of an expensive custom stairs. We sell our stairs direct to builders, architects and do-it-yourselfers. The stairs are shipped directly from our plant in Pennsylvania and are delivered to your job site. After the stair parts are manufactured, all the individual components are packaged and given to a freight company, for delivery. The advantage of a pre-engineered kit is that it is economical to deliver and it can be carried into the home in manageable size pieces. Stock adjustable stairs are available or we offer stairs with continuous sleeves that are built to your height. This type of stair is ideal for new construction and renovation. The stairs have been designed so a do-it-yourselfer or carpenter, with no special tools or skills, can assemble it. See how the stair is assembled at our "Steel Stair Installation" segment of this web site.
