Spiral Staircases

Special requests from architects always present us with the

challenge of realising the request in accordance with valid re-
gulations. We are also a strong partner in the manufacture of
complex welded structures.

MEISER is qualified to web steel structures in accordance to

ISO EN 1090 -1/-2 EXC2.

Taking into account experience gained from accidents, the step

measurement formula is applicable from a safety perspective if
it leads to rises of between 140 and 190 mm and runs between
260 and 320 mm. The relative size of the rise and run take into
account the average persons step measurement.

The following is valid for a staircase that is easy to walk on:

2x (s) rise + (a) run = 630 ± 30 mm

The angle of climb should be between 30° and 45°.

A rest landing should be included after a maximum of 18 steps

(per flight of stairs).

Grating flooring on spiral staircases is fitted with anti-skid pro-

tection as standard without a non-slip front edge, and wel-
ded in a surrounding frame in flat-rolled steel (outer edges are
straight and of uniform height). An additional welded, non-slip
front edge forms the connection to the straight grating step in
accordance with DIN 24531. It ­improves safety during the use
of spiral staircases, but is not officially required.

Not every building is suited to the mounting of a staircase

system at all points. Our design engineers and structural engi-
neers will, how­ever, always provide you with a special solution
to connect the s­ taircase to the building safely.

The connection to the building is an important element in the

overall structural concept. We always work with our customers
to find the best solution; a solution that fulfils all requirements
so that it is ­simultaneously architecturally justifiable and stati-
cally verifiable.

Straight Staircases

It is not possible to install a spiral staircase in all buildings.

Different building law requirements in the various federal
states often mean that straight staircases are prescribed
and installed as rescue stairs / fire stairs.

Other possible arguments in favour of straight staircases are

the ­necessity of enabling large numbers of people to escape
and using the given advantages of staircase geometry.

It is, however, also often architectural reasons that are decisive

when manufacturing a staircase tower with two or four sup-
ports. If gratings are used to brace the central supports, they
give the impression of a stabilising wall and give the staircase
its own character.

Straight Staircase with two Central Supports

The use of individual supports in the stairwell gives the entire

­structure a special touch, whereby safe application of force into
the building must be given. The roles are clearly defined here:
the building holds the staircase – not the other way around.

It is possible to improve the corrosion-resistance of the surface

of ­individual staircase components by applying additional co-
atings to the galvanisation of all parts of the staircase (please
test necessity on flooring elements). If the flooring elements are
included in the coating process please note that mechanical
load (frequent use) needs to be excluded from the guarantee.
The decision concerning execution lies solely with the custo-
mer. This process also gives you the opportunity of integrating
the staircase even better into the colour concept of the building
as a whole.

The realisation of this kind of project is a challenge that we are

always happy to take on.

S t a i r To w e r w i t h f o u r S u p p o r t s

The compact steel structure of straight staircases of-

ten fascinates the observer. Stair widths of 1,250 to
1,500 mm or even more often need to be realised in lar-
ger buildings such as residential homes, h­otels and hos-
pitals where large quantities of people may need to be
rescued. The higher structural loads usually mean that the sup-
porting structure design needs to be stronger.

Various federal states also require that an additional children’s

hand rail is installed at a height of 650 to 750 mm along the
walking line in this kind of building to enable children to use
the escape route safely too.

Stair treads with raised safety nosing

As of now we also offer our stair treads with a raised safety

nosing.

cases

Industrial staircases need to withstand the highest demands

every­ ­day. They have to reliably fulfil their function at all times
in their ­relevant area of application, whether in the food in-
dustry, heavy industry, in a warehouse, a sewage plant or as
staircases and walkways in p­ roduction-relevant areas. It goes
without saying that all safety ­aspects prescribed by the relevant
trade associations must also be taken into account.

Industrial staircases can be either indoors or outdoors, can

vary as a straight staircase, a walkway or a spiral staircase
over numerous storeys. No maintenance work must ever be-
come necessary over the course of their entire lifespan.

Given the limited space that is available in technical systems, it

is also possible to find the solution for a technically necessary
climb in a c­ ombination of spiral and straight staircases. We
construct ­specialist steel structures for the stabilisation of the
staircase systems in ­accordance with requirements and can be
included in the scope of delivery of the staircase system.

Winding Staircase

A winding staircase in the form of a two-string staircase is

the ­superior alternative to a tank staircase. Larger structural
elements or entire modules can be delivered to the building site
pre-fabricated. It is attached to the tank via various brackets
(included in the scope of delivery if so agreed) and according
to structural necessity (e. g. in the vicinity of the landings).

It is true that this kind of winding staircase is more complex to

manu-facture but they are usually easier to install.

In the event of an early order, it is possible to determine the

connection­points during the planning phase in cooperation
with the tank manu-facturer. This has the advantage that the
installation of the connection elements can take place during
the manufacture of the tank, thus completely removing the need
for any welding work on the building site.

MEISER Indoor and Balcony Staircases

It is important to not only look at aesthetic aspects and the

available space when choosing the right staircase form, but
also its intended purpose. That is to say whether the staircase
is to lead into a living room, secondary room, cellar or attic.

Thus spiral staircases are being used increasingly to reduce

the ­distance between balcony and garden. For many years this
path led first through the living room or hallway. Now an ele-
gant spiral s­ taircase can create a direct connection.

Subsequent installation of a spiral staircase with a diameter of

­approximately 1,600 mm or more is easily feasible for most
steel or wood balconies.

Spiral Staircase

Modern architecture is increasingly promoting attractive and

space-saving staircase options, for example for apartments
over two storeys or for attic renovations.

A spiral staircase is the ideal solution with its relatively simple,

space-saving structure and striking appearance.

We design and manufacture each staircase specifically to the

customer’s requirements and the individual application. You
can choose to have clockwise or anti-clockwise spirals with
the n­ ecessary radius and with a sunken or surface base plate
on the central column – whatever you desire.

MEISER is happy to provide advice. We can decide together

which ­staircase type is most suitable for your floor plan and

By special structures we mean staircases that do not initially fit

into one of our defined categories. In the end they are usually
also spiral staircases or straight staircases but they do not
always fulfil the purpose of a normal fire escape or industrial
staircase.

Special structures, such as lookout towers for example, are

always a special case, as with this project, where interaction
is required­between the staircase and the steel/wood structure.
Close cooperation­between the staircase manufacturer, third
party trades and planners is essential for the success of the
