Yes. FLIGHT Spiral is a custom-prefabricated kit. We design, engineer, manufacture, and ship every component you need as one integrated system — treads, center structure, landing components (if applicable), railing, infill, and hardware — so everything is built to work together on site.

Each FLIGHT Spiral system typically includes:

• Custom-engineered spiral structure

• Helical hardwood or aluminum treads

• Center support and connection hardware

• Integrated railing posts

• Stainless rod infill

• Handrail, brackets, and terminations

• Detailed engineering drawings and installation instructions

If you choose Viewrail Certified Installation, labor is coordinated separately but based on this complete kit.

FLIGHT Spiral is designed for tight footprints. Typical diameters range from about 5' to 10', which is significantly more compact than most straight or switchback stair layouts. Your design team will size the diameter and rotation to maintain comfortable walking lines and meet code while fitting the space.

In many homes, FLIGHT Spiral is engineered and permitted as a primary stair, provided it meets local code requirements for width, headroom, landings, and egress. In other layouts, it’s used as a dramatic secondary connection (to a loft, library, or roof deck). Our team will help design to your intended use.

Yes. Unlike old-school kit spirals with narrow wedge treads and just-adequate centers, FLIGHT Spiral uses helical treads and a rigid, engineered structure to create a wide, predictable walking surface and a no-wobble feel underfoot. When installed correctly, it’s a solid, everyday staircase.

Absolutely. You can tailor:

• Tread species and stain

• Powder coat or stainless finishes on the structure

• Handrail finish

• LED tread lighting

Stainless (or Endurance) rod infill is our alternative to cable railing infill, and is the only infill designed to curve around the radius of the system. It uses hollow 1/4" 2205 stainless steel rods to deliver the same sleek, horizontal look as cable, but with better tension, easier installation, and superior long-term durability. The smooth surface minimizes places for corrosion to start, and each rod is engineered to stay rigid and secure over time.

Both stainless rod and cable infill are modern, low-profile options, but there are key differences:

• No sagging: Rods are rigid, so they don’t develop the gradual “smile” that poorly tensioned or aging cable can.

• Smoother surface: No braided grooves where contaminants can sit.

• Curved and spiral friendly: Rods can be bent to follow curved and spiral layouts for a cleaner, continuous look.

Yes. Our stainless rods are made from 2205 duplex stainless steel, which offers significantly higher corrosion resistance than 304 or 316 in harsh environments, making it ideal for decks, exteriors, and many coastal applications when paired with the proper post and finish package. Always review your project location with our team for the best material recommendation.

For FLIGHT Spiral projects, Stainless Rod Infill is laid out, cut, and engineered as part of your kit:

• Posts arrive pre-drilled.

• Rods are provided to length with a straightforward installation process.

• Hardware is either hidden or cleanly integrated for a minimal look.

• You (or your installer) follow our project-specific drawings and installation videos.

Most crews find rod infill installs faster and with fewer steps than traditional cable.
