Interbau Stair FAQs
 
What would be the size of the opening in the ceiling for my Interbau Spiral staircase?

In general, the ceiling opening would need to be 100mm larger than the diameter of the spiral stair.

 
 
What floor height is available for the Interbau staircases?

The Interbau staircases are made to measure.  In general terms, for UK Building Regulations, this would mean an individual tread rise of between 190mm and 220mm, but this will depend on your exact floor to floor height and the type of staircase required.  We are always happy to advise on the options for your project.

 
 
Do the Interbau Spiral stairs  comply with UK Building Regulations?

The Interbau staircases are made to your exact floor to floor height to ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.

You would also need to install riserbars to fit between the open treads to comply with the Building Regulations' 100mm gap rule. 

However, many of the standard designs of balustrading do not comply with UK regulations and we will always advise you of alternative designs when required.

 
Is it possible to connect the Interbau staircase  handrailing to some balustrading on my top landing?

Yes, you can specify the matching balustrading to use on your stairwell or mezzanine floor.

 
 
I'm slightly worried about my children slipping on the treads when they use the staircase with their socks on!

The timber treads still retain a very slightly grainy texture to them but, if you want to add some extra non-slip treatment, then buy our special Oakleaf Clear Grip Strip shown on our accessories page.  This is a cheap and quick way to add a durable non-slip treatment that is friendly on bare feet!  We can also offer other non-slip treatments such as inset stainless steel bars.

For their acrylic treads, we can use a frosted finish for non-slip qualities together with the inset stainless steel bars if required.

 
Do I need to specify whether my Interbau Spiral  needs to turn to the left or right before I order?

Yes.  The rotation of the spiral staircase will be part of the made to measure design created just for your project.

 

 
If you have any other questions you would like to ask about the Interbau Staircases, please email us on info@stairsolutions.co.uk or ring, fax or post us a letter.  We're always happy to help!
