Staircases & Fire Escapes
Access to a mezzanine depends on the floors usage. A storage floor requires a staircase that conforms to Part K of the Building Regulations
Document while an office mezzanine requires a staircase that conforms to Part M. Floors that are to be used by the public such as retail mezzanines,
require a public access staircase.
All of our staircases are designed to the current British Standards and are fabricated from mild steel. Finishes avaliable are gloss, powder coat or
galvanised.
