The flamboyant structure of the steel stairs presents itself like a sculpture in the foyer of the customer center at the Mercedes Benz factory in Stuttgart/Sindelfingen. The glass railing which is inserted in the box-type stringers juts out freely from the bearing structure and conveys the impression of transparency and elegance.

  • Consisting of a four-sided L-frame, 8 to 10 mm thick, with steel sheet step on the top side to accommodate the landing cover
  • Frame height up to 230 mm
  • With welded-on steel fishplates for fastening to the unfinished floor
  • Tread of 5 to 6 mm-thick steel sheet with stiffeners on the underside, suitable for a multi-piece wooden covering

Inner railing with wooden handrail

  • Top chord and posts of flat steel 50/15 mm welded together to form U-shaped baluster spans
  • Handrail support as continuous flat steel chord 50/8 mm
  • Handrail bracket made of 8 mm-thick steel sheet, fastened to the railing posts

Outer railing as glass balustrade

  • With clamping structure to hold the glass balustrade, welded to the side of the box-type stringers of the steel stairs or the bridge
  • Balustrade filling on both sides made of 20 mm-thick laminated safety glass panes, regularly curved in accordance with the stair flight, cast in the U-pocket of the clamping structure and sealed (dispenses with screw connections, thereby more attractive)
