Save Building Costs With a Welded Staircase

 

Unless you are building a home or renovating one, a question that you probably don’t think of too often is what material your stairs should be made of, especially in terms of one that is more cost efficient. But what if someone told you that the overall cost of welding a staircase is less expensive than using wood?

• Price: Both wood and metal are raw materials that will cost the buyer. With wood, the buyer would have to purchase a sturdy enough wood that can withstand the heavy usage that stairs are designed for. In addition, many wooden stairs have an additional material that is used to support them or require extra wood as support. Metal stairs can easily be welded to stand alone.

• Design: Woodcarving is a costly venture for creating a staircase. With metal staircases, the metal can be prefabricated into its desired mold and then welded into place at a much lower cost.

• Durability: Though with heavy usage, all treads wear over time, metal tread lasts longer than that of wood. In addition, whereas wood is susceptible to warping over time, metal is warp resistant unless it is exposed to extreme heat from fire.
