Staircases,
sculpted in steel.
Vancouver Stairs fabricates custom steel staircases in Metro Vancouver. CWB-certified fabrication, BC Building Code coordination, and clean installation — from first sketch to finished install.
Vancouver Stairs is a CWB-certified (CSA W47.1) steel staircase fabricator based in Burnaby, BC, serving Metro Vancouver since 2010. The shop designs, fabricates, and installs custom mono stringer stairs, floating staircases, commercial egress stairs, cable railings, and glass railings for residential, commercial, and institutional clients. Notable completed projects include Surrey Memorial Hospital, BCIT Burnaby, Collingwood School, and Guildford Town Centre. Every project includes site review, shop drawings, engineer coordination under the BC Building Code, and full installation — from a single residential stair flight to multi-storey commercial stair packages.
Modern stairs, durable railings, practical steel.
Each stair type has its own structural requirements, finish system, and code considerations. We fabricate and install the right one for the building.
Residential Metal Staircases
Feature staircases, interior railings, exterior replacements, and custom steel details for modern homes.
Commercial Stair and Railing Fabrication
Stair systems and railings for offices, retail, strata buildings, institutions, and tenant improvements.
Steel Structures and Miscellaneous Metals
Platforms, canopies, gates, brackets, structural connections, and custom steel components.
Measure once, coordinate early, fabricate cleanly.
Custom stairs fail when the important decisions are left vague. We bring structure, treads, guards, finish, and installation access into the same conversation before fabrication starts.

Steel has to read clearly from the first sketch.
Every stair starts as a line drawing. Structural decisions — stringer type, tread depth, connection points — are locked in before fabrication begins.
