Stair Design
Stair design is a critical part of ensuring that it can perform safely, meet building regulations and high standards.
The BWF Stair Scheme aims to help designers and specifiers achieve the design they wish to achieve without sacrificing performance. We also support our manufacturers, who often play a significant role in design, to help them produce stairs that meet the expectations of clients in terms of a stair’s look, while ensuring they manufacture the highest quality stairs.
