The height
The height of the staircase can be determined by accumulating the number of treads needed to reach to the according level, knowing that the tread height is 20cm (7,874 inch / 0,656 feet). If necessary, the height of the treads can be adjusted (diminished by milling) in order to make a perfect fit.

The diameter of the staircase is 1310mm (51,2 inch / 4,27 feet), which is the outside diameter, handrail included. Ideally the stairwell is of the same dimension, but can be larger as well. The staircase is available both turning clockwise and anti-clockwise with a rotation speed of 16 treads to the circle (360 degrees turn).
The weight
The total weight of the staircase can be determined by multiplying the number of treads with 33kg / 73 pounds (lbs).

The staircase is delivered in raw loose parts without any finishing. It is up to the customer to choose the desired finishing: either to keep the raw appearance of the metal, to wax or to paint. A (metal) wax or matt paint (anthracite grey or black) can be ordered and delivered with.
