Code-Compliant Stairs for High-Traffic Buildings

Kershbaumer Stairs & Rails designs and installs commercial stair and railing systems throughout Newtown, Pennsylvania for property managers, developers, and business owners who need code-compliant solutions built to handle continuous use. You need commercial-grade stairs when occupancy codes require specific riser heights, tread depths, and handrail configurations, or when the building sees foot traffic levels that would damage residential-grade construction. These systems use heavier materials, reinforced connections, and finishes that resist wear in lobbies, stairwells, exterior access points, and multi-story buildings.

The crew works from approved plans that meet local building and accessibility codes, including ADA requirements for handrail height, extension, and graspability. Stringers are built with commercial-grade lumber or steel, and treads are selected for slip resistance and durability. Railings include continuous handrails on both sides, proper clearance from walls, and returns at the top and bottom of each run. Materials are chosen to meet fire ratings and finish requirements specific to the building type and use.



If your project requires stairs that meet commercial building codes and will hold up under heavy use, this service delivers systems designed for compliance, safety, and longevity in Newtown properties.

Handrails are mounted at the code-required height, typically between thirty-four and thirty-eight inches, and extend horizontally beyond the top and bottom risers to provide continuous support. Treads are fastened with industrial adhesive and mechanical fasteners rated for commercial loads, and nosings include slip-resistant inserts or abrasive strips where codes or high-traffic conditions require them.

Once complete, your staircase will pass inspections for riser height uniformity, handrail placement, load capacity, and accessibility compliance. The system will handle daily use from tenants, customers, or employees without loosening, squeaking, or showing premature wear. Kershbaumer Stairs & Rails coordinates with general contractors and inspectors to ensure installations meet Pennsylvania building codes and ADA standards applicable to the property type.



Commercial work follows stricter timelines than residential projects, and delays in material delivery or site access can affect scheduling. The scope typically does not include permits or architectural drawings, which are provided by the property owner or general contractor. Installation requires clear access to the site and may need to occur outside regular business hours to avoid disrupting building occupants.
