ABOUT meiser MEISER, founded in 1956, is a medium-sized family-owned company based in Schmelz-Limbach in the Southwest of Germany. A steel working company specialising in gratings, profile planking, stairs and stairtreads, galvanising and split materials, the company employs 1,800 people, over 1,200 of them in Germany. There are two main factories in the Saarland and Saxony plus other subsidiaries in Belgium, France, Hungary, Egypt and Dubai. There are branches and agents worldwide, thus guaranteeing a personal customer service throughout. We have our own galvanising, splitting and cold rolling...

MEISER Staircases Staircases are seen as connectors between at least two different ­levels. Vertical risers and horizontal treads are connected to steps over a slope. A staircase serves to provide horizontal and vertical access to buildings in order to negotiate height differences with the least possible exertion of force. Building law and safety matters, user concerns and identification, function and spatial experience, clarity and traffic flow as well as aesthetic concepts are determined very early in the course of a basic design brief. Ramps with a lesser pitch (< 20°) could also be authorized...

Physical structures must be built in such a way that outbreaks of fire and the spreading of fire and smoke are prevented and that it is possible, in the event of fire, to rescue people and animals and to carry out effective fire-fighting operations. A second escape route via fire escapes and fire stairs is obligatory in many buildings to ensure that safe escape is possible in an emergency. The fire stairs could be the last resort in the event of fire. The second escape route should also enable access by the fire brigade. All usage units with habitable rooms on each level must be accessible via...

Spiral Staircases The spiral staircase represents a special case among all the forms of circular stairs and requires the least space. Its main characteristic is the load-bearing column in the centre. Spiral staircases are often only mentioned as an aside in standard literature as there are no concrete provisions that regulate them. Because of the special form of the steps we need to differentiate in principle between the clear tread width (distance between the central column and the inside edge of the banister hand rail) and the usable tread width (from 100 mm run, see DIN 18065) in spiral staircases....

Spiral Staircases Special requests from architects always present us with the challenge of realising the request in accordance with valid regulations. We are also a strong partner in the manufacture of complex welded structures. MEISER holds the manufacturing qualification in the welding of steel structures in accordance with DIN 18800 Part 7; 2002-09 Class C. Taking into account experience gained from accidents, the step measurement formula is applicable from a safety perspective if it leads to rises of between 140 and 190 mm and runs between 320 and 260 mm. The relative size of the rise and...

Straight Staircases It is not possible to install a spiral staircase in all buildings. Different building law requirements in the various federal states often mean that straight staircases are prescribed and installed as rescue stairs / fire stairs. Other possible arguments in favour of straight staircases are the ­necessity of enabling large numbers of people to escape and using the given advantages of staircase geometry. It is, however, also often architectural reasons that are decisive when manufacturing a staircase tower with two or four supports. If gratings are used to brace the central...

Straight Staircase with two Central Supports The use of individual supports in the stairwell gives the entire ­structure a special touch, whereby safe application of force into the building must be given. The roles are clearly defined here: the building holds the staircase – not the other way around. It is possible to improve the corrosion-resistance of the surface of ­individual staircase components by applying additional coatings to the galvanisation of all parts of the staircase (please test necessity on flooring elements). If the flooring elements are included in the coating process please...

S t a i r To w e r w i t h f o u r S u p p o r t s The compact steel structure of straight staircases often fascinates the observer. Stair widths of 1,250 to 1,500 mm or even more often need to be realised in larger buildings such as residential homes, ­hotels and hospitals where large quantities of people may need to be rescued. The higher structural loads usually mean that the supporting structure design needs to be stronger. Various federal states also require that an additional children’s hand rail is installed at a height of 650 to 750 mm along the walking line in this kind of building to...

Winding Staircases Winding staircases in the form of evenly winding stairs are often used in public areas as a usable walking width is easy to achieve in this form. This single stringer staircase, designed by architects as a winding staircase, was very demanding for the structural engineers and ­design engineers in the planning phase and for our skilled workers in the realisation of the theoretical calculations. The light appearance of the staircase was consciously chosen in order to emphasise the curving design, but also demonstrates the different interpretations of existing building law requirements...
