This would have to be one of the most commonly asked questions. In short, yes. And no… and maybe. It depends on the design, size, and layout of the spiral staircase. The smaller the staircase the harder it is to move furniture up and down them. For example, you would struggle to move a double mattress up a small 1500-diameter staircase, but on a 3600mm diameter helical stair you could move a piano up and down it as effectively as you could on a traditional staircase. A scond consideration is the layout of the staircase and the walls around it. enzie has 40 years of experience without laying our spirals and will talk honestly with you about the pros and cons of all our staircase designs.
Finally, all enzie spiral stairs are modular and mechanically joined meaning that, if needs be, you can dismantle some or all of the balustrade to help you on the rare occasion that you decide to move the piano around.
Hey Enzie!
Hope you are well, I’ve got a question to ask,
I am looking to specify the z fold range for an upcoming architectural project which is looking to begin sometime this year – we’re looking at an interior diameter of 2000mm and roughly a distance of 970mm from inner side of balustrade to the centre column (eg. column is 100mm diameter). I am wanting to inquire if it is possible and whether you’ve done it in the past where clients have wanted to transport king sized beds up the home using the spiral stair. Firstly, is it possible? Provided there is some disassembly.
Hi, Thanks for your enquiry. That’s a challenging one. Firstly if the staircase was not disassembled at all then it would be unlikely that you could fit a king size mattress up and down it. For that reason I might push against the Z tread series as it is very challenging to disassemble. This is because the tread surface is adhered down to the substrate (to conceal fixings). I would recommend the open riser equivalent, the Universal series which can have then same style balustrade. This stair can have the balustrade removed more easily in order to assist with moving large items of furniture around.
