How Much Space Will A Spiral Staircase Need?

Do I have sufficient space to install a spiral staircase? This is the first question that pops up in a homeowner’s mind. While there are no set space requirements for spiral staircases, there is a footprint. The footprint is the diameter of the staircase, i.e., the total width you will need to install the stairs. At Brooklynz, we manufacture a range of spiral staircases in Singapore.

The smallest has a diameter of 3’6,” which means a footprint of 42-inch x 42-inch. We also offer spiral staircases with the diameters 4’, 4’6”, 5’, 5’6”, 6’, and more.

What Is The Cost Of A Spiral Staircase In Singapore?

If you have adequate space for a spiral staircase, then the next concern is the price. Most people think that spiral staircases come with an exorbitant price tag, while the truth is that they come in a range of budgets. The cost of a spiral staircase in Singapore depends upon two factors:

• The size
• The customisation

The more tailored the design, the more the price and the bigger the staircase, the higher its cost. That said, most spiral staircases fall within the price range of 800 to 27,000 SGD. Brooklynz also has the ability to manufacture bespoke spiral staircases that cost as much as 136,000 SGD.

The one factor we emphasise to our customers when it comes to the price is quality. Irrespective of the cost of the staircase, each product is manufactured using the same process and adheres to the same quality standard. The difference in price is due to customisation, size and the material used to make the spiral staircase. For instance, Aluminium Powder Coated staircases will have a different price point to a forged iron staircase.
