When it comes to building and installing stairs, you can’t take any chances. Safety and quality are paramount. At Midwest Iron, we are well aware of the high standards for construction, which is why safety and quality are at the core of everything we do.
We offer a Quality Promise in all of our work that guarantees it will stand the test of time. In this blog, we’ll explain how quality is infused into every step of our stair fabrication process, and why that positions Midwest Iron the industry leader.
What is the Midwest Iron Quality Promise?
The Midwest Iron Quality Promise means that we fully stand behind everything we build. We hold the highest standard of quality in every part of the stair fabrication process, from initial prototyping to shipping. Here’s what that means, step by step:
Value Engineering
Our stair design method is value-engineered to save on your most expensive cost: field labor. That’s why all of our aluminum stairs are custom-made and require our engineer review process. This ensures smooth production from design to finish, while also providing additional oversight to ensure that our safety and quality standards are met.
3D Modeling and Prototyping
3D Modeling allows us to visualize — and be confident in — the end result, as well as make any necessary modifications before fabrication.
100% Hand Welded
With safety as our primary goal, we ensure that our steel and aluminum stairs are hand-welded. Fully welded construction means rust-free longevity and stable materials.
In-House Powder Coating Finishing
Choose from more powder coat colors than you’ve ever seen before. We apply powder coating in-house; this gives you a wide array of options as well as peace of mind knowing that the job will be done right.
Reliable Shipping and Delivery Support
To make sure your stairs get to you safe, we offer nationwide shipping with options to have your stairs flat packed or shipped all in one piece. We also take measures to ensure a seamless installation – our prebuilt stairs install in mere moments with no onsite assembly required. Additionally, our certified installers are ready to assist with installs in the Wisconsin area, and we offer installer training to all of our customers.
Style without Compromise
Just because safety is our top priority doesn’t mean that we don’t care about style or versatility. We can build stairs to fit every function. Some of our most common stair projects include:
- Monumental stairs
- Modular stairs
- Egress emergency exit stairs
- Access stairs
We can also incorporate a wide array of styles to suit the atmosphere of the building:
- Spindle
- Balustrading
- Bullnose step
- Flight
- Landing
- Nosing
- Pitch
- Riser
- Tread
