The alumium alternating tread stair:

  • Utilizes a central stringer with curved treads that weld directly to the handrail
  • Ideal for outdoor areas where corrosion and rust are a concern, as well as rooftop applications where weight is a major consideration.
  • Shipped as one complete welded unit, ready to bolt into place.
