What are the advantages of metal stair designs?

Do not forget about the shortcomings
The negative side of metal structures is relatively small, but this does not eliminate the need to get to know them. The most frequent troubles faced by their owners are:
- The street metal ladder, as well as its "home" version, needs periodic staining, which protects it from rusting. Eliminate this defect by purchasing a structure from chrome-plated steel, metal with special spraying or cast aluminum;
- short life and creaking of steps from the tree;
- noise, which will inevitably occur when walking on the stairs.

It is worth noting that all these shortcomings can be completely eliminated by modifying the product and its adaptation to a particular room, design and other operating conditions.
