Escape
Spiral escape stair for Stowe School
This steel spiral staircase was for the historic eighteenth-century Temple Boarding House at Stowe School, near Buckingham.
The school required a fire escape staircase as part of alterations to the living accommodation. We dismantled and replaced an existing fire escape and extended it to a newly installed door giving a means of escape.
The spiral staircase we installed was over 10 metres high and designed to BS 5395 Part II. As a Category C Small Semi-Public Stair. This type of stair is intended for use by a limited number of people, some of whom may be unfamiliar with the stair e.g. in factories, offices, shops.

Fire escape spiral stair
The stair was a huge steel spiral which gave a means of escape from two floors of the Temple Boarding house. Fabricated in mild steel and galvanised to prevent corrosion and increase durability the external escape stair had a non-slip pattern to the tread plate with 2 vertical balusters on each and a black PVC capping to the handrail.
