Emergency Egress Solutions: Durable Access Stairs for Public Infrastructure

At Star Metal, we specialise in the design, fabrication, and installation of high-performance emergency exit staircases that meet the highest safety standards. Our staircases are custom fabricated in our Perth workshop, ensuring full compliance with Australian Standards and the durability required for critical infrastructure and commercial projects.

Most recently, we were proud to deliver multi-storey external fire stairs for the newly upgraded Beckenham and Oats Street Stations as part of the Thornlie Line Extension. This major government project required precision manufacturing and seamless on-site installation — all handled in-house by our experienced fabrication and installation teams.

Whether you’re planning a new build or upgrading your emergency egress systems, Star Metal provides turnkey solutions tailored to your project’s needs. With years of experience working on complex metalwork packages for public infrastructure, we understand the importance of reliable, compliant, and visually integrated emergency access.

  • Expert installation team for seamless on-site delivery

  • Proven track record on large-scale government and commercial projects

  • Local support and fast turnaround times

Built to Last — Galvanised for Longevity

All our exterior staircases can be finished with hot-dip galvanising for maximum protection against rust, weathering, and environmental wear. A galvanised finish extends the life of steel in outdoor conditions, making it the ideal choice for high-exposure infrastructure like fire stairs.

  • Corrosion-resistant in harsh Australian climates

  • Low maintenance and cost-effective over time

  • Ideal for public infrastructure and coastal environments

Built to Meet Australian Standards

All Star Metal staircases are designed and fabricated to meet Australian Building Standards, ensuring safety, durability, and compliance. Our designs follow the National Construction Code (NCC) and AS 1657, which govern key features such as:

  • Minimum tread and riser dimensions for safe footing

  • Consistent step height and depth

  • Slip-resistant surfaces for outdoor safety

  • Adequate headroom and landing spacing

  • Handrails and guardrails to meet access and mobility codes

These standards ensure our custom-fabricated staircases are not only built to last but also provide safe and compliant access in all conditions, from commercial buildings to critical public infrastructure.
