Steel stairs also have great benefits for structural strength in
different forms of fabrication. Steel stairs can be made longer and
stronger than wood stairs therefore the distance between the two floors
can be farther apart.
The stairway you're looking at on your left,
is a new set of stairs, with two steel stringers and concrete
stair tread. Attached to the concrete stair treads, is a metal
hand rail or guard rail. It's hard to tell unless we measure it.
The stairway is a good example of a guard rail without a
gripable handrail (or vice versa), that is between 34 and 38
inches from the stair nosing. This would be a vertical
measurement, or up and down from the tip of the stair nosing, to
the top of the handrail. |
