At the company`s headquarters in Harahan, Louisiana, industrial and commercial metal egress stairs are carefully designed and custom­built to fit specific height and building code requirements. To further tailor projects, clients choose from a variety of material options for stair handrails, stringer, and treads. Today, more than 40,000 space­saving Lapeyre® stairs are in use around the world, allowing workers to easily and safely access crossovers, catwalks, and other tight spots that don’t permit the use of conventional staircases.
