Metallica Continuous Handrail Staircase: continuous and inclined PVC handrail throughout, for smooth grip going up and coming down. Solid lacquered beech treads, powder-coated steel in grey, black or white. Minimal footprint 130 x 78 cm. Adjustable step height 190–235 mm.
The Metallica Continuous Handrail staircase stands out thanks to a detail that makes a real difference to everyday use: a continuous, inclined PVC handrail, which accompanies the entire ascent without interruption. Unlike a staircase where grip is provided only by vertical balusters, this handrail follows the slope of the staircase from the first to the last support point — a genuine comfort for children, elderly people, or anyone using the stairs frequently.
With a ceiling opening of only 130 x 78 cm, this model remains one of the most compact in the Metallica range. The solid lacquered beech treads rest on a powder-coated steel central column, available in three finishes: grey, black or white. The handrail follows the same colour for complete visual consistency. Thanks to the adjustable step height between 190 and 235 mm, the staircase adapts precisely to your floor height over 12 steps.
This model is particularly suited to households looking for a spiral staircase that provides reassuring support throughout the entire journey, without sacrificing compactness.

On a classic spiral staircase, safety often relies on independent vertical balusters at each step, with no continuous handhold. On this model, a PVC handrail follows the actual incline of the slope, from the first to the last support point. The hand movement remains fluid throughout the ascent, with no break or change in grip level between steps.
This technical detail makes a real difference to everyday use, particularly for children, elderly people, or when carrying objects whilst keeping one hand free on the handrail.
Before ordering, essential measurements: Check that your ceiling opening measures exactly 1300 x 780 mm minimum (fixed dimension). Record your exact floor height, finished floor bottom to finished floor top. Measure the available width at the foot of the staircase, minimum 2 m² for reception and assembly.
Step height determination: With 12 steps, the staircase covers a height between 228 cm and 282 cm. Your exact floor height determines the optimal step height. Please provide it at the time of ordering for configuration validation.
Site preparation: Flat and stable floor support, solid ceiling anchor for the central column. Minimum 2 m² of access at the base for receiving the modules.
Assembly: Staircase delivered pre-assembled in sections. Steps: positioning the column (precision under 2 mm), stacking the treads, fixing at the two support points, fitting the continuous handrail following the slope of the ramp. Estimated duration: 3 to 4 hours with two people.
Lacquered beech: Clean twice a month with a microfibre cloth dampened with warm soapy water, pH neutral. Avoid standing water and harsh solvents.
Powder-coated steel: Wipe monthly with a dry cloth. In humid environments, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Check annually for any chips exposing bare steel.
PVC handrail: Clean with neutral soapy water, no abrasives. Check annually that the handrail is securely fixed at its support points, particularly at changes of incline.
Lifespan: With regular maintenance, this staircase retains its functional and aesthetic qualities for a minimum of 15 to 20 years in residential use.
The continuous, inclined PVC handrail, which follows the actual slope of the staircase from start to finish. On a model without this handrail, support is provided only by the independent vertical balusters at each step, with no continuity of grip.
It provides constant support throughout the entire ascent, reducing the need to change grip between steps. This is particularly appreciated by children, elderly people, or when carrying objects whilst keeping one hand free on the handrail.
An exact opening of 1300 x 780 mm minimum is required, a fixed dimension that cannot be adjusted. If your opening is smaller, this model is not suitable.
The staircase features 12 fixed steps with an adjustable step height of 190 to 235 mm. This range allows a clearance of between 228 cm and 282 cm. Please provide your exact floor height at the time of ordering for configuration validation.
Three matching finishes for the column, barrier and handrail: grey, black or white, to be paired with solid lacquered beech treads.
No. With 12 steps, the maximum clearable height is 3055 mm finished floor to finished floor. This model does not offer a height extension.
