Mono Stringer Staircases in New Westminster
Mono Stringer Staircases for New Westminster projects, planned around local site conditions, finishes, access, and permit expectations.
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
1.6 kPa reference value for early planning. Final engineering confirms project-specific assumptions.
moderate exposure. Finish and hardware choices should follow the exact site conditions.
Heritage and multi-family settings can change documentation requirements.
