Aluminum Stair Fabrication
Aluminum stair have significant advantages to consider. Some of the major benefits of aluminum stair include:
Lightweight
Aluminum stair is 30% lighter than similar stair made from steel and this lighter weight makes them easier to assemble, disassemble, and relocate.
Affordability
For maximum cost efficiency, aluminum stair are usually constructed from 6000 series aluminum alloy with 6061-T6. This also reduces any necessary long-term maintenance costs.
Environmentally friendly
Aluminum is endlessly recyclable, which means the lifecycle of the material really never ends. Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever made is still being used.
Aluminum stair is easy to install because they are constructed to code before they are ever installed. They are also designed to be easily adjusted to meet local code variations. Since they are so much lighter in weight, they are much less expensive to ship, further lowering costs.
When comparing stair, here are some key features of aluminum to consider:
- Lightweight
- Long product life
- Customizable heights
- Code compliant
- Reusable
- Portable
- Versatile
- Recyclable
- LEED contributor
- Protective natural oxide layer
Aluminum is remarkably stable and will never rust, warp, or rot in dry environments. Its superior corrosion resistance occurs because aluminum forms a thin oxide layer when exposed to oxygen in the air. Since this layer forms naturally, it is able to self-repair when there is damage. It also provides superior paint primer adhesion compared with other bare metals.
Miracle Welding also fabricates aluminum handrail in different styles. Some are decorative, but most are primarily designed for support and to prevent falls. Handrails are mandatory for safety and in conjunction with guardrails can prevent falls on landings, platforms, decks, and porches.
