Metal stairs for a private house and summer cottage

Note that completely metal stairs are not so common. This material is considered too cold and industrial to be actively used in residential buildings. But with the right design, a metal staircase will become an excellent interior element in high-tech style or even a modern interpretation of the classics..

The indisputable advantages of metal stairs include their compatibility with other materials. In this case, the steps are made of wood, and the structure itself and the railings are metal. This is a classic combination that allows you to soften the brutality of the metal and make the steps more comfortable, not so booming..

An example of a combination of a metal staircase with glass. Glass and metal are the distinguishing features of the “couple”, such combinations are loved by modern designers. Somewhat cold, but stylish, reliable and durable.

Full metal stairs are quite common for outdoor use. It is not surprising, because metal reliably treated against corrosion is not afraid of external influences, moisture and temperature extremes.

Another plus of metal stairs is that they can be folding structures that hide and do not take up space until they are needed. For example, here’s a staircase to the attic. At the same time, it looks very elegant when unfolded due to an interesting engineering solution..

In the case of spiral staircases, metal is optimal, even the only option for creating a structure. To prevent an all-metal staircase from looking too simple and rough, forging is widely used. These openwork railings will certainly decorate any interior..

Metal steps can be beautiful too, as in this case. Note that the process of building a metal staircase is not too complicated. If all the parts were created in advance exactly to the dimensions, then the assembly process takes place on site. But to completely paint a metal staircase, especially with a wrought iron railing, is a long and painstaking task..

In order both visually and in fact to facilitate a metal staircase, you can use such openwork steps. They are quite comfortable, they go well with the rest of the forged details, and they look very unusual..

A reliable metal frame allows you to create stairs of any size and shape. And it is not at all necessary that they will look massive and rude. In this case, the staircase takes up very little space, there are no unnecessary details in it, the only decoration is traditional forged curls.

In this staircase, metal is again combined with glass, because this theme has become the main theme in the entire interior. The design itself is simple, even the metal rivets on the steps did not hide, on the contrary, they serve as an important design detail.
