for an additional charge. Instructions: All hardware and complete assembly
instructions are provided with each staircase kit.

planning notes...
The Albany spiral staircase is available in both clockwise and counter-clockwise
ascending directions. There are 13 treads to the circle (360 degrees). This means
that an average flight (13 risers/treads) rotates a full circle. Each rise is 8” (203 mm).
Stair elevations may be adjusted by reducing or adding to each riser as needed.
There is a small charge for this service. To determine the correct number of complete
risers required, simply divide your elevation by 8" (203 mm). Each riser comes
equipped to accommodate one Georgian Baluster.
Landing note: 1. The landing plate and the top tread must form a square platform
when boltedtogether. (See diagram). The minimum size of the 4’ Albany landing is
25" x 25" (635 mm x 635 mm); for the 5’ Albany it is 31.5” x 31.5” (800 mm x 800 mm).
2. The thickness of the landing plate should not be greater than 2" to allow for
sufficient headroom.

optional parts...
A selection of stock and custom components is available to complete and customize
the Albany installation. Landings: Custom cast aluminum or steel plate landings can
be made to each job’s specifications. Whatever shape the stairwell may be, Steptoe’s
shop can create the necessary landing. Two patterns are available: the checkerplate
surface and the decorative surface. Alternatively, a local carpenter or metal fabricator
can prepare the landing from a wide range of materials. Angle collar: This small
brass attachment permits the connection of straight handrail to the brass finial ball
supplied with the staircase. Extension railings: Straight lengths of tube (steel or brass)
are sold, per foot, to be used as handrails.
Georgian balusters: Stair treads can accommodate up to three Georgian balusters,
if necessary, to satisfy specific job requirements. Standard baluster height is 38.5"
(978 mm). Additional balusters are available in different heights and come with either
hanger screws or machine bolts for individual anchoring. Treads are drilled for this
option at no extra cost. Well ring: Large circular rail to follow the line of the circular
well. One leg attaches to finial ball. Back to the top.
