Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What are side stringer stairs?

    Side stringer stairs are a type of staircase where the stringers, or the support structure, are placed on the sides of the stairs instead of under them. This design gives the stairs a clean, open look and can be customized to fit many different styles and spaces.

  • What are the advantages of side stringer stairs?

    Side stringer stairs are visually appealing and flexible. They can be made to fit a variety of designs, including straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, and geometric configurations. The open design makes them a great choice for modern and minimalist spaces. They also allow for more design options with the treads and risers.

  • Can side stringer stairs have open risers?

    Yes, you can opt for open risers with side stringer stairs. Open risers create a more open, airy feel, and we can help ensure the spacing meets safety regulations. If needed, we can add riser space limiters to keep the gap between risers under 4 inches, which complies with building codes.

  • What materials can be used for side stringer stairs?

    Side stringer stairs can be made from a wide range of materials. Some of the most popular choices include wood, stone, cement, tile, and steel. You can choose the material that best matches your home or office décor, giving your staircase a unique look and feel.

  • How wide can side stringer stairs be?

    Side stringer stairs can be customized for wider staircases. For example, if your space requires a stair width of more than 48 inches, we can design the stairs with two stringers set apart to support the additional width and provide a sturdy structure.

  • How do I start the process of building side stringer stairs?

    To begin your project, simply reach out to us with your design ideas or space requirements. We will provide you with a personalized quote and guide you through every step of the process to create the perfect staircase for your space.

  • What exactly is a side stringer stair system, and how does it differ from traditional stair designs?

    A side stringer stair system supports the stair treads by running the structural support along the sides rather than underneath or in the middle. This design creates a clean, modern aesthetic with open space beneath the treads, which many homeowners prefer for its sleek appearance. Unlike traditional staircases that use a central stringer or multiple supports, side stringers emphasize structural integrity on the sides, offering both strength and design flexibility. This is ideal for spaces where visual openness and minimalism are desired without compromising safety or durability.

  • How customizable are the side stringer stairs from Acadia Stairs?

    Acadia Stairs offers extensive customization options, including material choices (wood, metal, steel), finish colors, tread styles, widths, and riser heights. Customers can select from various modern and classic designs to fit their interior or exterior spaces. Because side stringer stairs are highly adaptable, they can be tailored to both residential and commercial projects. This flexibility extends to modular sizing and configurations to accommodate unique layouts, ensuring the stairs perfectly match your space, style, and building codes.

  • Are side stringer stairs suitable for outdoor use, and how does Acadia Stairs handle weather resistance?

    Yes, side stringer stairs can be designed for outdoor use. Acadia Stairs utilizes weather-resistant materials like galvanized steel and treated wood, along with powder-coated finishes, to protect against corrosion, moisture, and UV damage. Proper sealing and maintenance recommendations are provided to ensure longevity. Their outdoor stairs are engineered to withstand seasonal changes common in Fishkill, NY, and nationwide climates, providing safety and durability while maintaining their aesthetic appeal over time.

  • What maintenance is required to keep side stringer stairs looking and functioning well?

    Maintenance varies based on materials but generally includes regular cleaning, inspection of fasteners and joints, and refinishing or repainting as needed. For outdoor installations, sealing exposed wood and checking for corrosion on metal parts are crucial to prevent deterioration. Acadia Stairs provides customers with detailed maintenance guidelines tailored to their specific stair system, helping prolong lifespan and maintain aesthetic quality with minimal effort.
