What material should I make my stairs from?
Timber, Mild Steel & Stainless Steel make excellent structural components for stairs. Generally a timber is
used as tread material for its acoustic value when walked on and often found to be more aesthetically
pleasing than steel, however it all depends on personal taste. All the materials that Oz Stair use are of the
highest grade so you can be assured no matter what material you choose, you will get an exceptional quality stair.
