What is NextGen? NextGen™ is an award winning quick-fit modular aluminium staircase system that is virtually silent underfoot. The grippy treads have integral sounddamping cores, and their sleek aerofoil profiles add something visually unique to the stylish design of the staircases. NextGen™ stairs are installed rapidly and accurately. When the treads are attached to the stringers the connection is invisible. The design-to-delivery process is supported by an online configurator which immediately provides designers and contractors with staircase visualisations, detailed design, specification data,...

NextGen’s Benefits NextGen™ was initially designed for use in offices, which is why the stairs were independently strengthtested, and ISO-accredited in relation to their acoustic performance. However, NextGen™ is equally suitable for interiors such as storage facilities, and certain types of open plan retail, or various types of back-of-house spaces. 1 — Innovative design at good value 2 — Easy online configuration 3 — Instant pricing, BIM model, and lead time 4 — Streamlined design-to-delivery process 5 — Rapid and secure installation

Colours & Finishes

Colours & Finishes NextGen™ stairs have set a new benchmark in the design of functional staircases. The stairs have extremely clean lines, with crisp minimalist detailing. EeStairs offers two colour options for the treads, and the stringers can be in any RAL colour – which makes the NextGen™ a genuine designer stair system. Handrails can be supplied in timber or stainless steel, and two types of glass for the balustrades – which are float glass and extra clear glass. The anodised aluminium treads are supplied with a ribbed anti-slip top surface as standard, there is also an option to specify...

Silent Stairs

Silent Stair Acoustics The acoustic performance of the NextGen™ stair treads was tested by Peutz. NextGen™ was found to be quieter underfoot than standard steel stairs, and acoustically comparable to wooden treads.

Configuring & Fitting

Configuring Contractors, designers and other professional specifiers can configure and cost NextGen™ stairs using EeStairs’ online configurator. The process is logical, straightforward, and can be completed in a few minutes. The first step in the configuration is to enter the plan and sectional dimensions of the stairs, along with the heights of the floors that the stairs and landings will rise to. Other basic details will need to be entered, and these include the angle of the stairs, the vertical distance between the treads, how wide the treads are, and whether the stairs are in a straight run,...

Johan Talks NextGen™ EeStairs’ Project and Design Engineer Johan Floor explains to architecture writer Jay Merrick how the NextGen™ stairs were designed and developed. JM — What was the basic idea behind NextGen™? JF — Most functional staircases, whether made of metal or wood, are not exactly beautiful. We wanted to design a really durable functional staircase that looked like a designer staircase, and was also lightweight and almost silent underfoot. JM — Was the decision to use low carbon aluminium technically challenging? JF — Yes, in three ways. First, we had to design the section of the...

Aluminium extrusion profile and optional LED lighting behind transluscent strips. Aluminium extrusion profile with acoustic infill to reduce vibrations and foot contact noise. The treads have anti-slip top surfaces. Staircase — Structural glazing using laminated, toughened, float or extra clear glass, fitted securely in a channel in the top edge of the stringer. Landing — Structural glazing with laminated, hardened, clear, or extra-clear glass, seated in a profiled aluminium extrusion similar to the profile in the stringers. Treads — Aluminium Stringers — Aluminium Balustrades — Laminated, hardened,...

Safety & Regulations The NextGen steps have been tested by the independent engineering consultants, Nebest, for deformation and failure. The tested steps were progressively loaded to a maximum of 15.9kN (1590kg). Permanent deformation of the step occurs at approximately 10kN (1000kg) and confirms that NextGen stairs are very strong and safe.
