Making staircases the special way

Far from being a mere functional connector between two floors of your house, a staircase can be an expression of style and beauty that accents and enhances your whole home.  And that's particularly the case when a well-established company like Margate Engineering is involved.

"With many years of experience in building such steel structures, we've acquired the equipment and know-how to manufacture staircases to almost any specification," says Margate Engineering Managing Director Geoff Howard-Tripp.  "For instance, one client may desire a 'floating' staircase, so known for their physically unobtrusive appearance, while another may want a personalised ornate or curved one.  One of my personal favourites is the spiral staircase which in addition to fitting in a more compact space, can have a very aesthetic, stylishly curved appearance.  If you couple this with stainless steel railings, it can be particularly striking." Geoff invites you to learn more from his company's informational website at www.margateengineering.co.za or to visit Margate Engineering itself on Marine Drive in Manaba Beach.
