Domestic or business, spiral staircases have a place in all properties:

Perfect as loft or attic access

Visually if makes the space appear less cluttered, whilst architecturally, it adds interest to a difficult area.

Large Foyers

Grander Irvine properties, from the bigger homes through to larger business premises, the sweep of spiral staircases is complimentary to its surroundings, adding a grandiose ambience to any entrance hall. Quite simple, we believe that spiral staircases can ‘work’ in any room or space.

And not just for the outdoors…

Another place where spiral staircases are traditionally spotted are as a second staircase on the exterior of a building, offering in some cases the all-important fire or emergency exit. Typically made from steel, these stairs at one time were seen as ugly piece of engineering; today, some opt for this industrial style but you don’t have to. Exterior spiral staircases at your Irvine property can be made from wood, metal or a mixture.
