Outdoor Aluminum Staircases
Welded and Custom-Made
Learn more
The outdoor aluminum staircase is a welded structure that replaces wrought iron and steel stairs. It does not rust, requires no maintenance and withstands Quebec winters without deteriorating. At Vaudry Villeneuve, every staircase is welded and custom-made in our Terrebonne workshop. Three types available: spiral, heritage and straight.

Welded Aluminum Spiral Staircases
Learn more
The spiral staircase is entirely welded in aluminum. It is ideal for multi-unit buildings and properties with limited ground space. Its circular design maximizes space while providing safe access between floors. Our spiral staircases comply with the Building Code and are manufactured to the exact dimensions of your property.
Welded Aluminum Heritage Staircase
Learn more
The heritage staircase replicates the classic wrought iron stair style found on Montreal facades. It is made of welded aluminum, giving the same appearance as traditional steel, but without the rust or maintenance. Some Montreal boroughs require this style for heritage districts.
Welded Aluminum Straight Staircase
Learn more
The straight staircase is the simplest and most common model. It is suitable for facades, backyards and secondary access points. Clean structure, quick installation and compatible with all our aluminum stringers and our fiberglass steps or aluminum.

Why Choose a Welded Aluminum Staircase ?
Welded aluminum offers the best durability-to-maintenance ratio for an outdoor staircase in Quebec. It does not rust, does not rot and maintains its appearance season after season without painting or treatment.
Unlike steel, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant. It withstands de-icing salt, melting snow and freeze-thaw cycles without corroding. Welding provides structural rigidity comparable to steel, but in a much lighter material.

Our aluminum staircases are coated with a factory-baked paint that resists UV rays and weather. The finish does not peel and requires no maintenance over the years. A once-a-year cleaning with soap and water is all it takes.
Every staircase complies with the National Building Code requirements for step height, minimum width and guardrails. Our aluminum railings and our aluminum columns complete the package for a cohesive project.
Aluminum Staircase vs Wrought Iron Staircase
Wrought iron (steel) staircases are the classic material found on most apartment buildings in Quebec. They are strong and rigid, but they rust. Every year, you need to sand, treat and repaint to prevent deterioration. Over time, wrought iron weakens structurally.
A welded aluminum staircase looks similar to wrought iron, but it does not rust. It is lighter, requires no maintenance and lasts longer. Aluminum welding provides structural rigidity that meets the same load standards as steel.
For income property owners, welded aluminum eliminates recurring maintenance costs: no sanding, no painting, no premature replacement. It is an investment that pays for itself within a few years.

FAQ: Outdoor Aluminum Staircases
What is the price of an outdoor aluminum staircase?
The price of an aluminum staircase varies depending on the type (spiral, heritage or straight), height, width, number of steps and chosen components (railings, steps, columns). Each project being unique, contact us with your dimensions for an accurate quote.
What is the lifespan of an aluminum staircase?
A properly installed welded aluminum staircase lasts 25 years or more. Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant and withstands Quebec’s freeze-thaw cycles without deteriorating.
What is the minimum width for an outdoor staircase?
The minimum width required by the National Building Code is 36 inches (91 cm) to ensure safe passage. For a spiral staircase, the minimum width can be approximately 30 inches (760 mm) in some residential cases. In Quebec, a non-primary spiral staircase can have a minimum clear width of 760 mm (30 in.) or 36 in. if adjacent to a wall. However, if the spiral staircase serves more than two units or is a common stairway, a minimum of 900 mm (approximately 36 inches) is generally required. Our aluminum staircases are custom-made to your property’s dimensions.
How to maintain an aluminum staircase?
Maintaining an aluminum staircase is virtually effortless. A once-a-year cleaning with soap and water is enough to preserve the finish. No sanding, no painting, no rust treatment.
Is an aluminum staircase as strong as wrought iron?
Welded aluminum provides structural rigidity that meets the same load standards as steel. It is lighter, but just as strong for residential use. Our staircases comply with the National Building Code requirements.
Which type of staircase takes up the least space?
The aluminum spiral staircase is the model that takes up the least ground space. It is ideal for buildings with limited space at the front or in the backyard.
Is a permit required to replace an outdoor staircase?
In most municipalities, a permit is required to replace an outdoor staircase. Requirements vary from one city to another. Check with your municipality before starting your project.
