Features
100% Aluminum – Long Lasting
Our aluminum commercial steps will never rust, warp, or rot.
Easy Installation
Upside’s prefabricated metal stairs typically take about 1 hour to install.
Slip-Resistant Decking
We use a solid material that has raised ridges for maximum slip resistance.
Reconfigurable
Our team can design modular stairs to reach any height that you need, both indoors and outdoors.
ADA & IBC Compliant
We manufacture exterior aluminum stairs and platforms that adhere to ADA Stair Code and IBC Stair Code.
HPD/LEED/ESG
Prefabricated systems are typically made with 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys containing ≥99% and ≥50% recycled content. Some prefabricated systems can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.
Custom Layouts
Our team of engineers will design commercial stair layouts just for you. Professional engineer stamps are available.

Modular Commercial Stairs
Upside’s APEX stairs are engineered to integrate seamlessly with our ramps and canopies, providing a great solution for modular buildings and loading docks.
Because the APEX System is modular, ramps, stairs, and railings can be reused, added to, and reconfigured as your needs change.
How we design
Our internal engineering team designs ramp, step, and canopy systems. We collect important information like threshold height, compliance requirements, space constraints, and any existing obstacles, and we will design a layout that will fit within your footprint.
