“Producing timber stairs for multi-purpose apartments is a growing area of our business and the guide is designed to provide architects and specifiers with all the information they need,” said Tony Pell, JELD-WEN product manager.
The company said key factors to take into account when specifying common flights are a building’s acoustic requirements and fire retardancy.
JELD-WEN’s stairs now have the option of a fire retardant surface coating which provides a viable alternative to concrete for architects and specifiers who are looking for a product with aesthetic and functional benefits that meet fire regulations.
