Precision-engineered steel stair systems designed for modern, open-concept homes — combining structural strength, clean architectural lines, and long-lasting durability.
Custom metal stairs have become a defining feature of contemporary residential architecture—offering structural reliability, clean geometric lines, and an open flow between levels. Each staircase is engineered to fit your home’s layout, enhance visual continuity, and support comfortable daily movement.
Weld Rich & Steel delivers stair systems shaped by a structural-first approach. Using mono-stringer, floating, double-stringer, and switchback configurations, our team engineers and fabricates each system from structural-grade steel profiles with exacting precision. The result is a durable, stable, and visually seamless staircase that complements both modern and traditional interiors.

What to Consider
Metal stairs must follow relevant Ontario Building Code (OBC) standards, including riser height, tread depth, headroom, structural capacity, and guardrail integration. Proper code compliance ensures safe, reliable everyday use.
Depending on the configuration—mono-stringer, floating, or double-stringer—some stair systems may require engineer-stamped drawings. Weld Rich & Steel assesses load capacity, vibration control, and attachment points to ensure a safe, stable final installation.
Stair design must adapt to existing floor openings, wall locations, and load-bearing capacity. Proper measurements and alignment are essential for a seamless fit, especially for floating or open-riser systems.
Steel offers outstanding longevity for both interior and exterior staircases when paired with high-quality coatings. Powder coating, galvanizing, and specialty finishes protect against wear, corrosion, and everyday use.
