The steps are made of birch plywood, with a thickness of 35 mm, assembled together with bolts. The railing is made of vertical columns, fixed to the steps, of the same color of the structure and a square section handrail in solid beech, in the same hue of the steps.

Another company well established in the field of mini indoor stairs is RINTAL that in its projects uses the philosophy of creating the space where there is not.

The models of mini stairs proposed by Rintal are basic but complete and point, as well as the design and technology, to achieve the impossible in terms of space.
Every single element that composes them is studied as a function of a maximum use of space, to go up in extreme and prohibitive conditions even for a spiral staircase. All models are characterized by a minimal look for ease of use, functionality and freedom of movement.


An example is Mini Plus, the nautical stairs designed to connect any type of environment in small spaces where it would be impossible to install a normal open staircase. It is characterized by a very small size, that can cover a level difference of 2.90 meters with a floor space of 1.5 meters. All without giving up comfort rise, quality of materials and a pretty low cost.

To make stairs of this type we use the technique of staggered steps, which guarantees a greater bearing surface both during the phase of rising and lowering.


These steps with a very particular form are made in solid beech wood finger joint and thanks to the particular shape allow to reduce to a minimum the overall dimensions without compromising the supporting surface of the foot, making Mini Plus a perfect staggered steps stairs.

On this space-saver stairs model, it is also possible to install a landing which provides a greater support area and allows you to create configurations in L and U shapes by multiplying the possibilities of installation to accommodate the architectural features of the apartment.

These stairs are available in various finishes for wooden elements ranging from transparent, in which is the wood being enhanced, lacquered. The same can be said of the colors of the structure always matching to the railing, all at moderate costs.

Its special shape allows not only to take advantage of any architectural space available but also to turn it into a beautiful and innovative design solution.

This is possible thanks to the particular shape of the steps that reduce the tread without reducing the bearing surface of the foot.
