Wire Mesh Stair Enclosures
Framed mesh enclosures shaped around stair flights, landings, and access doors.
Fitting An Enclosure Around A Stair
Stair enclosures use framed mesh to separate restricted areas around flights, landings, and the space below a stair. The panel layout follows the building: sloped runs, landing edges, walls, and door openings all affect the sizes and connections. The open mesh keeps the enclosed area visible.
A plan and elevation are especially useful here. Mark the stair pitch, landings, headroom, doors, and attachment points, then identify the required mesh, frame, locks, and finish. Access and emergency exit requirements need to be resolved with the project design team before the enclosure is fabricated.
Product Details
Stair Enclosure Sketch SheetEnclosures For Stair Flights, Landings, And Restricted Areas
A stair enclosure has to fit the stair geometry and preserve the access the building needs. We fabricate framed mesh panels around flights, landings, doors, and existing walls. Send a plan and elevation so we can review the panel arrangement, frame, infill, and attachments.
Frame, Infill, And Finish Choices
Angle and channel frames provide different panel construction and connection details. Infill options include welded or woven wire mesh, expanded metal, and perforated sheet. Choose the pattern for its specified opening, appearance, and visibility, then confirm the frame and supports. Painted enamel is an indoor finish option; powder coating offers additional colors; hot-dip galvanizing can be reviewed for exterior exposure. The selected metal, coating, and maintenance requirements must suit the site. Hinged or sliding access, mechanical locks, electric strikes, magnets, and closers require an opening and hardware schedule.
Where Stair Enclosures Are Used
Typical projects include office stairs, industrial facilities, parking garages, apartment buildings, schools, and transit facilities. Some enclosures separate a restricted landing; others close off the area below a stair or run alongside several flights. Identify who needs access, where doors belong, and which areas must remain open for circulation and maintenance.

Finishes
Choose your paint color or compare the coating options for your project.
Painted Enamel
Electrostatically applied, air-dried enamel. Battleship Gray and Jet Black are our standard painted colors; include your preferred color with your quote request.
Need a specific paint color? Send the color reference or project specification with your plans.
Additional Finish Options
Hot-Dip Galvanizing
A zinc coating for compatible carbon-steel construction. Review this option for outdoor, damp, or other exposure conditions called out in the project specification.
Galvanizing + Powder Coating
Hot-dip galvanized steel with a powder-coated color finish. Specify both coatings so we can review the preparation, color, and complete finish system.
Color samples are illustrative. Confirm the final color and finish with an approved sample. Coating suitability depends on the selected material and construction; ask us about stainless steel, aluminum, or mill-galvanized and unpainted mesh.
Measuring & Planning
Information To Send For A Quote
Start with a plan, elevations, and site photographs. Mark the flights, landings, stair pitch, clear height, walls, and attachment points. Include the panel heights, mesh, material, frame, finish, and door schedule. For each door or gate, show the clear opening, handing, swing or travel area, and lock function. If access control is required, include the hardware and electrical requirements. We can help identify missing dimensions or details before pricing.
Coordinate Access Before Fabrication
A stair enclosure can affect exit routes, headroom, door operation, and accessible circulation. The architect and responsible project team must confirm those requirements for the complete installation. A mesh panel or a particular lock does not establish OSHA, accessibility, or building-code compliance by itself.
Review The Layout With Us
Send the stair drawings and intended use to Newark Wire Works. We will review the panel package and available construction options with you, including fabrication, finish, delivery, and installation scope.
