Today, let's take a look at the types of metal staircase frames: monocosaur, bowstring, spiral staircase or cantilever staircase. And most importantly, what type of stair frame is the most practical together with the consultant - estimator Drevych, who will explain to us all the intricacies of this question for his practice of implementing more than 700 successfully completed stair objects in Kyiv and Lviv.

When ordering metal stairs for the house, you should already understand what types exist and what nuances they have.

Standard stair frames are divided into two types - closed and open type, which differ in appearance and decoration. An open stair frame is more difficult to manufacture and install, and more expensive mainly in terms of cost. But the main advantage of an open staircase frame is that such stairs allow you to create a special interior design, it seems as if there is much more free space in the room and have the ability to let in natural sunlight, they are also ideal for installing stairs with LED lighting so that the feeling of lightness is preserved even in the dark time of day
Closed stair frames are more popular in classic interiors, because they are easy to manufacture and install, and do not require additional processing of railings to the stairs on the frame.

Let's take a closer look at what categories they are divided into:
The metal frame of the stairs of the closed type:
According to the manufacturing scheme, a metal channel and a corner are used. Such designs are intended for sewing with any material. It is the most affordable among the following options. Finishing of the metal frame is carried out after the completion of all construction processes. It is perfectly combined with Drevych wood cladding and tempered glass. Due to the monolithic construction of the metal frame, closed-type stairs are the most stable and stable and can withstand large loads on the structure.
The metal frame of an open-type staircase on a kosour:
  The metal frame of the open-type stairs on kosours provides a minimal finish. For creation, a profiled metal pipe is used, followed by cleaning of the seams. In the end, the structure of the metal frame of the stairs is painted, and it is ready for laying the steps. Cladding the metal frame with oak or Drevych ash will provide your interior with maximum convenience, aesthetic pleasure for the eyes and a pleasant staircase budget.
Metal frame on a monokosour:
They are used to create "air" stairs and are made of sheet metal and a profile pipe that is placed in the center of the stair frame.
   Screw metal staircase frame:
  Basically, the use of such structures is appropriate when space is limited, but spiral stairs are one of the most expensive. After all, during the manufacture and installation of the spiral metal frame of the stairs, it is necessary to apply metal bending and the subsequent cladding of the stairs, adding round or rounded parts and elements, the production of which is extremely difficult and expensive.
A metal ladder ladder on bowstrings.
  Channel and sheet metal are used to make bowstring. Belongs to the foundations of the open type and differs from other options only in the option of fastening the steps.
  The metal frame of the stairs on bolts:
Another option for fastening to the surface, which is provided with the help of vertical supports. It belongs to the open type of construction, and has all its advantages.
Metal frame of weightless stairs or cantilever stairs.
They have a unique technology of fastening to the wall with the help of anchors, but they also have restrictions on the thickness of the walls in order to withstand the load. Cantilever bases create the appearance of a levitating staircase. The metal frame is completely hidden from prying eyes because it is attached directly to the wall, and then sheathed with wood, stone, and any other decorative materials. Cantilever stairs look flawless both with and without handrails. However, for the maximum safety of all residents of your home, we recommend installing tempered glass handrails from Drevych.


When choosing such an element as a base for future stairs, it is necessary to take into account many nuances before ordering it from the company. Basically, everything rests on financial possibilities, as well as the aesthetic preferences of both the customer and the designer, the dimensions of the room, the thickness of the walls and many other things.
