Prefabricated Steps for Homes
Choosing the Right Steps
The Oliver Technologies' wood/metal steps, versatile and adaptable to different customer needs, are available in two distinct styles:
Our Premium step, meticulously designed to strictly adhere to the 2018 ICC/IRC code, boasts a tread depth of 10.25", closed step risers, and a width of 42". Premium Steps come complete with two side rails, one side rail, and one back rail for a side entry configuration where applicable.
Our Standard step, a budget-friendly option, is ideal for customers who need a simple or temporary solution for accessing their home without breaking the bank. Standard steps have a tread depth of 9.25", open step risers, and a width of 40".
Both styles are available in 24", 32", and 40" height models. Handrails are sold separately and are available in open and IRC-compliant versions. Once installed, Standard and Premium Steps can easily be enclosed with skirting or custom material (not included) to match the home.
