One special and very specific type of curved stair is the Double Helix. With all due respect to James Watson and Francis Crick (who recently celebrated 50 years since their discovery of the DNA structure), we feel that our Double Helix can be one of the building blocks of a beautiful home or office.
Often referred to as a spiral stair without a center column, the dramatic look, grace, and beauty of this stair is unparalleled.
Benefits of the double helix stair include: handrails on both sides, greater tread widths ( normally 36" wide), and little "roomier" stair - people often need a spiral type stair but want a stair that offers a larger radius than one gets when walking up around the center column on a standard spiral.
For more than half a century, Spiral Stairs of America has meticulously handcrafted staircases for public, commercial, and residential clientele around the world.
