Spiral UK wins contract for celeb stairs
Bespoke staircase manufacturer Spiral UK’s latest contract win is for a feature staircase in the Royal Albert Hall. The company is looking forward to providing the artist’s bar with a glamourous new staircase.
The Royal Albert Hall is being refurbished and restored ahead of the grade 1 listed building’s 150th birthday celebrations in March 2021. This work has included the Great Excavation. A project involving a two-storey expansion to create a back-of-house area with new multi-purpose space for artists, schools and community groups.
The stylish staircase Spiral UK have been contracted to design, manufacture and install is part of the artist bar and dressing room fit out. The feature wall and curved stair combination will lead from a mezzanine area down to an exclusive bar especially for those backstage and performing at the venue.
Spiral UK Managing Director Eric Nicholls said
We’ve had some fantastic contract wins recently and this project is no exception. It’s a privilege to work on a project for such an iconic London venue.
The helical staircase we are creating will have a fabricated steel framework with treads cast in concrete at site. The stringers have been designed to have an elegant saw tooth effect on one side and be hidden in the feature wall on the other. This wall will match the stair balustrade a combination of rectangular vertical bars and Perspex. The staircase will be finished with a beautiful French polished timber handrail.
