Custom Curved Steel Staircase and Railing

This was a feature staircase installation in a hotel lobby and it is exactly the kind of project that requires every trade involved to be at the top of their game. Our scope was the steel structure and the railing system, which on a curved staircase of this caliber is a substantial undertaking.

The railing follows the full curve of the stair from the ground floor up to the mezzanine level with a brushed metal finish that was specified to complement the interior design of the space. Getting a continuous curved handrail to flow smoothly without any flat spots or inconsistencies in the radius requires the fabrication to be worked out very carefully in the shop. You cannot force a curve into steel after the fact and expect it to look right in a space like this where every detail is scrutinized.

The glass panel infill within the curved railing adds another layer of complexity. Each panel has to be sized and set so the glass sits correctly within the curved frame without any gaps or misalignment. In a lobby where guests are forming their first impression of the property, the quality of the finish work is immediately apparent. This staircase earns its place as the centerpiece of that space and our team delivered the level of craftsmanship the project demanded.
