Why Choose Steel Stairs for Your Property?
Welded steel stairs offer superior strength, clean construction, and long-term performance compared to bolt-together kits or wood alternatives. They’re built to handle heavy use, meet commercial safety codes, and hold up against local weather—making them a smart investment for high-traffic buildings across south-central Kansas and surrounding areas.
Where Are Steel Stairs Commonly Used?
Steel stairs are a go-to solution for commercial and multi-family buildings that require long-term strength, weather resistance, and strict code compliance. We frequently fabricate stair systems for:
- Apartment complexes and townhomes
- Office buildings and commercial towers
- Hotels and motels
- Multi-unit residential developments
- Exterior fire escape stairs and code-required egress systems
Every system is custom-made to suit the property’s layout, usage, and building code requirements.
Types of Steel Stairs We Build
At Wichita Metal Stair and Fabrication, we fabricate different stair styles based on each project’s requirements. Here's a breakdown of some of the common items we work on:
Pan Stairs with Concrete Treads
A popular choice for multi-story apartments, motels, and office buildings, pan stairs feature steel pans designed to hold concrete treads. The pans are accurately measured and welded in between each stringer for maximum stability. These stairs offer quiet foot traffic, improved fire resistance, and long-term durability.
Steel Stringer Stairs
Steel stringers are the backbone of most commercial stair systems. We fabricate straight, switchback, and multi-flight configurations to support various layouts in stair towers, lobbies, or exterior access points. The majority of our steel stair requests are accompanied by the need for matching railings that are secured to the staircases.
Apartment Stair Systems
From compact two-story walk ups to large stair towers, our apartment stair systems are fabricated to handle high traffic and meet Wichita’s building codes. These are often built with concrete treads, weather-rated finishes, and site-specific measurements. We can work from drawings or blueprints supplied by your team.
Fire Escape and Egress Stairs
Exterior egress stairs are often required in multi-unit housing, motels, and buildings with upper-level living spaces. We fabricate code-compliant, welded emergency exit stairs built for reliability and longevity. We can build new escape stairs or repair your existing flight depending on their condition.
Can Steel Stairs Be Used Indoors and Outdoors?
Steel stairs offer unmatched versatility for both interior and exterior commercial applications. Our team customizes each stair system based on its location, expected traffic, and exposure to elements.
Exterior stairs are welded for strength and finished with coatings that protect against corrosion, ice, and UV damage—making them ideal for fire escapes, back entrances, and exposed stair towers.
Interior stairs are precisely fabricated for clean lines, code compliance, and seamless integration with commercial construction.
Whether your stairs are inside your property or fully exposed to the elements, we build them to last. Our process is turnkey meaning that we’ll do your on site visit for measurements and an understanding of the objectives. We secure the materials and fabricate the pieces as needed. When we’re not building on site, we’ll transport the finished products and serve as your local Wichita stair installer. We’re here every step of the way, including the rare case when a follow up visit is needed for any fine tuning.
Why Metal Stairs Work Well in Wichita’s Climate
Kansas weather can be tough on materials—hot summers, icy winters, and plenty of moisture in between. Our steel stairs are designed to handle all of it:
- Powder-coated, painted, or galvanized to prevent rust
- Fire-resistant for enhanced safety
- Structurally strong with low long-term maintenance
- Code-compliant across Sedgwick County and surrounding areas
- A reliable fit for everything from inner-city properties to growing communities like Andover, Derby, and Goddard

- Your system is built to spec and made to fit right the first time
- Your timeline is faster—no waiting on out-of-town suppliers
- Your design can be adjusted for specific needs, layouts, or finishes
From helping with the layout to coordinating installation, we bring hands-on support to every step of the process.
