Entryway Gates
Particularly popular with our younger families, entryway gates offer you some peace of mind, ensuring your staircase is safe, eliminating direct access to the stairwell for smaller children and pets. With an easy latch, the gate can lock shut, protecting your family, your pets and your guests from any unfortunate falls or accidents. Depending on your needs and preferences, gates can be added to the top and/or bottom entryways of your stairwell. Because your spiral staircase is an addition to your deck, your gate can match the railing style and color(s) of your deck and staircase, ensuring a seamless addition that is sure to ease your mind.
Post Lights & Accent Lighting
Including lights into your outdoor spiral staircase design doesn’t only establish a safer space, brightening the space in the dark, but it also creates some ambiance with a warm, welcoming space for your friends and family to enjoy. Lights can be incorporated into the tops of your platform posts and base floor posts, lighting up the entryways in the dark, allowing for you to see your first steps clearly.
If you tend to utilize your outdoor deck in the evening, it may be useful to have some accent lighting along your railings and/or steps to further illuminate your walking path. This will ensure a well-lit space for you and your guests, while adding a cozy warmth to your space that will truly inspire you to spend your evenings outdoors.
Railing & Spindle Embellishments
To really add your personal touch and style, you can select embellishments to your railings and spindles. Customizing the color of your railings is one easy way to ensure your new spiral staircase stands out and complements your home. By adding decorative spindles, you can customize a staircase that represents your style, whether it be whimsical, traditional, modern or ornate. Rest assured, as these decorative spindles are just as durable and secure as the standard ones. Adding decorative spindles will really make a statement for your staircase.
