Mono Stringer Staircases in Burnaby
Burnaby mono stringer stairs serve new builds in Brentwood and Metrotown as well as renovations in established neighbourhoods like Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill. The key is matching the stair to the home's scale and the project timeline.
Mono stringer stairs are precise, visible steelwork. The beam, tread brackets, guard integration, and floor connections all need to land cleanly because the finished stair becomes a main architectural feature.

Process
Drawing coordination
Prepare shop drawings and coordinate guard, handrail, tread, connection, and finish details with the project team.
Fabrication
Cut, fit, weld, and check the steel in the shop so field installation is controlled and predictable.
Finishing
Powder coating, galvanizing, stainless finishing, or paint preparation is selected for the exposure and design intent.
Installation
Install with attention to protection, alignment, field fit, and final coordination with adjacent trades.
Local conditions

none exposure. Finish and hardware choices should follow the exact site conditions.
New stairs, altered guards, and structural steel attachments generally need permit or engineer review.
