Code Stair Package

If your area is regulated by the National Building Code (BOCA) or the Uniform Building Code (UBC) we can provide conforming spiral stairs. Be aware that your state codes may override aspects of these codes. Before ordering a spiral stair, check with your local building inspector for the dimensional requirements. The smallest stair available to still maintain the building code is a 5' diameter. Salter Industries manufacture this stair package in 5', 5'6" and 6' diameter.
BOCA and UBC Code Packages Include:
(A) 30º stair treads
(B) 3 to 4 balusters per tread (maximum spacing of 4").
(C) A 60º platform. This will provide a minimum of 6'6" headroom.
(D) 1½" aluminum handrail with end caps.
(E) 1 platform rail.
(F) Center column, base plate and top cap.
(G) 38" tall column extension (not shown).
