Metal Staircases – Where Function Meets Architectural Style

staircases and steel fabrication in cape town

Staircases are more than just a way to connect floors—they are a critical design feature that can influence the functionality and style of a home or building. At Spragar Works, we specialize in the design, fabrication, and installation of custom metal staircases that enhance both residential and commercial spaces. Our staircases are engineered for durability and crafted for elegance, making them a popular choice across Cape Town.

The Versatility of Metal in Modern Design

Metal offers a unique balance of strength and adaptability. Unlike wood or concrete, metal can be formed into intricate designs or minimalist frames without compromising on structural integrity. This allows our team at Spragar Works to create a wide variety of staircase styles, including:

  • Straight Staircases
  • Spiral Staircases
  • Floating or Cantilevered Designs
  • Multi-Flight Commercial Stairs

Each staircase is fabricated to suit the specific layout and aesthetic of your space, ensuring a perfect fit and a striking visual impact.

Engineered for Strength & Safety

Every Spragar Works staircase begins with detailed planning and CAD modelling to ensure compliance with safety standards and building regulations. Our metal staircases are engineered to support heavy loads and resist flexing, providing users with a solid and safe experience.

We use top-quality materials—typically mild or stainless steel—for both structural frames and balustrades. Our finishes range from industrial exposed steel to powder-coated styles in colours that match your interior or exterior decor.

Custom Balustrades and Handrails

A staircase isn’t complete without the right balustrade system. We offer:

  • Steel tube balustrades for minimalist appeal
  • Decorative panels for visual statement pieces
  • Glass infill systems for a modern, open feel
  • Timber/metal hybrid rails for warmth and contrast

Every detail is manufactured and installed with precision, providing a safe, compliant, and attractive result.

Seamless Fabrication to Installation

All metalwork is crafted in-house by our skilled team, then delivered and assembled on-site with efficiency and care. Our end-to-end process allows for full quality control, and our experienced technicians work quickly to ensure deadlines are met without sacrificing quality.

We work closely with architects, interior designers, and property developers to ensure that each staircase installation complements the vision and structure of the overall project.

Durable Steel Fencing for Residential & Commercial Properties

Durable Steel Fencing for Residential & Commercial Properties

When it comes to securing your property, whether residential or commercial, few options offer the combination of strength, longevity, and style that steel fencing does. At Spragar Works, our fencing solutions are designed not only to protect but also to enhance the appearance of any space. In this blog, we explore why steel fencing remains one of the top choices in Cape Town and beyond, and how our expertly crafted solutions set us apart.

The Enduring Strength of Steel

Steel has long been known for its superior strength, making it the ideal material for fencing systems that require durability and resistance to the elements. Unlike wood, which can warp or rot, or plastic, which may crack under pressure, steel fencing maintains its structure for years with minimal maintenance.

Spragar Works uses only premium-grade steel, treated and coated to withstand corrosion, weather fluctuations, and physical impact. For properties in coastal areas like Cape Town, where salt air can accelerate rusting, our galvanised and powder-coated finishes offer long-term protection and peace of mind.

Aesthetic Flexibility

Modern fencing isn’t just about protection—it’s a visual boundary that contributes to the curb appeal of your home or business. Our custom fencing solutions include a variety of styles, such as:

  • Palisade Fencing: A robust and visually open solution that deters intruders while maintaining visibility.
  • ClearVu / Anti-Climb Fencing: Ideal for commercial premises, this fencing offers maximum security with a minimalist appearance.
  • Welded Mesh Fencing: A versatile option suited to both residential gardens and commercial zones.
  • Decorative Steel Panels: Crafted for aesthetic appeal, these panels are perfect for homes, estates, or hospitality venues.

Every project begins with a site assessment and design consultation, ensuring the fence complements the property’s existing architecture.

Tailored to Your Needs

At Spragar Works, we understand that every property has unique security and design requirements. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re looking to enclose a garden, secure a warehouse, or enhance the front boundary of your estate, we work with you to design fencing solutions that are functional, affordable, and visually appropriate.

From the depth of the footings to the height of the panels, every element is calculated for maximum performance. We also offer automation for gates and pedestrian access, seamlessly integrating your fence into the overall security system of the property.

Built to Last, Installed with Precision

Spragar Works handles the entire fencing project in-house—from fabrication to installation. Our team ensures all components are securely anchored and aligned for structural integrity. By using advanced welding techniques and precision tools, we minimise on-site adjustments and ensure clean, professional finishes.

Each installation is completed in a timely manner with minimal disruption to your schedule or operations. We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean worksite and excellent communication from start to finish.

Transform Industrial Spaces with Structural Steel Partitions

Structural Steel Partitions

Introduction


Warehouses and industrial spaces can be hard to adapt into functional offices due to their vast, open layouts. Without proper partitioning, noise leaks, inefficiencies, and safety hazards arise. Spragar Works’ structural steel partitions solve this by creating strong, modular, and modularly expandable systems.

Problem #1: Weak, Temporary Partitions

Solution: We use steel C-sections and beams bolted into floors and ceilings, creating sturdy partitions that support drywall, glass, or composite infill.

Problem #2: No Integration with Services

Solution: Partition design includes cable trunking, vents, fire exits, and emergency lighting—integrating seamlessly with your fit-out.

Problem #3: Disruption During Installation

Solution: Manufactured off-site, our frames are pre-assembled and installed quickly, reducing downtime and improving site safety.

Problem #4: Cosmetically Inconsistent Results

Solution: We follow through with sanding, powder-coating, and finishing, leaving partitions clean, professional, and aligned internally.
