The Architectural "Floating Spine"
The success of a Metal Creations installation begins with the central steel spine. While traditional stairs rely on two bulky side supports that close off the room, the single stringer system uses a high-strength, laser-cut steel beam positioned directly under the centre of the treads. This structural "purity" allows the staircase to occupy a smaller footprint, making it an ideal choice for both expansive open-plan living areas and compact modern apartments where space maximization is a priority.
By utilizing SABS-approved mild steel, Metal Creations ensures that the spine is rigid enough to support loads of up to 3200kg with zero "bounce," providing a rock-solid feel despite its slender appearance.
