Stairs for Private Homes

Metal stairs for private homes are an investment that lasts for decades—a quality metal staircase with professional design and installation harmonizes with the home’s interior, meets safety standards, and requires minimal maintenance. Unlike wood or concrete stairs, metal construction provides a slim, more elegant profile that visually expands the space. BHS manufactures custom metal stairs for private homes.

Types and designs of stairs

Straight stairs—the simplest and most common design with a straight flight from one floor to another. Suitable for spaces with sufficient length for staircase placement. Straight stairs can use metal stringers with wood or metal treads. Spiral stairs—compact, space-saving stairs with a central axis and radially arranged treads. Ideal for smaller spaces or as additional stairs to a rooftop terrace. Corner and L-shaped stairs—with one or two landing turns, suitable for spaces where straight stairs do not fit. Cantilevered stairs—a modern design with no visible stringers, where treads appear to float, attached to the wall. Outdoor stairs—hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated protection ensures durability against weather conditions. BHS designs all these types of stairs.

Materials and finishes

Stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316)—a premium material for indoor and outdoor stairs. AISI 316 contains molybdenum, providing additional corrosion resistance in damp or salty environments. Powder-coated steel—a wide range of colors with matte or glossy finishes, available in white, black, anthracite, and many other shades. A durable and aesthetically appealing solution. Metal and wood combination—a metal frame with wood treads provides warmth and aesthetics that pure metal cannot offer. A popular choice in Scandinavian and modern interior styles. Galvanized metal—an economical and durable solution for outdoor stairs. BHS helps select the material based on application and design.

Safety and regulations

Stairs in private homes must comply with LBN 201 and other construction regulation requirements regarding stair width (min. 80 cm), handrail height (min. 90 cm indoors), tread thickness, and maximum load. The spacing between baluster supports must not exceed 10–12 cm to prevent children from slipping through. Stairs designed by BHS meet construction regulation requirements. Our designers provide advice on safety requirements for each specific case.

Project scenarios for private homes

In a newly built private home, BHS designed straight stainless steel stairs with wood treads and glass balustrade panels—a modern and light-permeable solution that visually expands the staircase space. During a home renovation, old wooden stairs were replaced with powder-coated metal stairs, preserving the existing staircase stringer but updating the aesthetics to match the new interior. For a rooftop terrace, a separate outdoor staircase made of galvanized metal withstands winters and rainy autumns without maintenance.
