  • More Commercial Stair Applications


    We supplied a big Commercial Builder with 8 sets of timber stairs to give their workers temporary access to the floors they were working on above and below and because we have our stairs on site asap no time was lost in productivity. With our standard 250mm wide treads and non-slip tread pattern our product at Prefab stairs is BCA compliant both Residentially and Commercially.

    Normally they would use Aluminium stairs but went with Prefab stairs timber option as a cost effective alternative.

    Here is another client who needed to access their mezzanine level for extra storage. Previously they were using a ladder to gain access which was less than ideal. Minimal space has been taken up creating a more user friendly and safer working environment.

  • Stairway to heaven


    On large building sites access for an army of tradesmen and tradeswomen is a top priority. Here is the perfect example of a company using three of our treated pine stairs, to create, a safe and user friendly thoroughfare to transport materials and people around on a undulating work-site. The best part about this is when they have finished in this area, they can pull it apart and either use it on a different job-site or on a separate part of the existing work-site.

    Renting a temporary set of aluminium stairs can be expensive, especially if its potentially going to be on site for an extended period of time. By ordering a set of Prefab stairs you know they will be BCA compliant, they will fit perfectly, and they will be cost effective compared to a rented set. 

  • Sustainable Australian Iron Ash


    Our new range of locally sourced and sustainable Iron Ash is finally hitting stores around Australia.

    With our new tru-core treatment process injected into the Iron Ash it gives it all the benifits of the Treated Pine, but as a hardwood option.

    If you are chasing a different look for your outdoor entertaining area, this could be the pop your after.

    It has a Bushfire Attack Level of 19 which will suit most Medium prone bushfire areas.

    Note the beautiful features of the Iron Ash. Being a hardwood it is also perfect for Commercial building requirements.

  • Commercial Application of Mezzanine Stairs


    A Builder needed to gain access to a mezzanine level, above the newly fitted out office and kitchen area that he was working on in this commercial storage warehouse in Melbourne. 

    The stairs had to be commercially compliant, which wasn't an issue with our standard 250mm wide treads and our reeded non slip nosing pattern. We tick all the box's in this commercial aspect of stair building, being  just another application that Prefab stairs specialize in.

    Because the owners wanted hardwood stairs and it was an internal application, we were able to use the locally sourced and sustainable Vic Ash which isn't treated and was a lot cheaper than the same stairs in Merbau or Spotted Gum. The owner and the builder were extremely happy with the friendly team at Prefab stairs and the finished product and price.
