Site Measure to Final Touch: 8 Steps for a Perfect Custom Staircase Installation

Creating and installing a custom steel staircase is an art that combines precision, planning, and craftsmanship. At PNA Steel Stairs, we follow a proven process to ensure every project meets the highest standards—right from the initial site measure to the final touch-up. Here’s how we make sure your staircase fits perfectly and looks stunning:

1. Check Site Access During the Initial Measure

Before anything else, we assess site access—making sure there’s a clear path for materials and tools. This helps us plan for smooth delivery and installation.

2. Accurately Measure the Site

Precision is key. We take detailed measurements of your stairwell and surrounding area to ensure your staircase will fit seamlessly.

3. Determine Finished Floor Thickness and Materials

We confirm the thickness of the finished floor and the type of timber or other materials being used for treads and risers. This ensures the final height and step proportions are spot on.

4. Produce Flawless Shop Drawings

Our team creates detailed shop drawings for both client review and fabrication. Every drawing complies with relevant standards and shows both the general layout and intricate details.

5. Fabricate with Care and Precision

Using the approved drawings, we fabricate your staircase with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring high quality at every stage.

6. Double-Check Site Opening and Structural Members

Before installation, we verify all dimensions and check structural supports like LVL beams or steel columns, ensuring everything is ready for a secure fit.

7. Erect and Secure the Staircase

We install the staircase on site, using mechanical fixings or welding as needed. Every tread is checked for level to guarantee safety and comfort.

8. Final Inspection and Touch-Ups

After installation, we inspect the steel surfaces and use touch-up kits to repair any minor scratches or dings, leaving your staircase looking flawless.

Conclusion:
By following this comprehensive process, we deliver custom steel staircases that are not only functional but also beautifully finished. At PNA Steel Stairs, our commitment to quality and detail means you can trust us to handle every step, from site measure to final inspection, with professionalism and care.
