The Beauty of L.J. Smith Stair Systems

    Homeowners who are looking for an easy way to add a creative touch to a new home should look no further than the staircase. Spenard Builders Supply is now stocking L.J. Smith Stair Systems, products created by one of the largest stair parts manufacturing companies in the country.

 

L.J. Smith’s American craftsmanship began back in 1885, when L.J. Smith began making staircases and stair parts in Pittsburgh, then in Ohio with his son. Unique in design, yet durable and beautiful, the combinations of balusters, handrails, fittings and steps offer an endless array of options. Builders love the fastening system, quality control and that the products specifications are consistent.

Stair parts are available in oak, beech, poplar, maple and cherry. From there, L.J. Smith makes selecting a stairway simple with its “Four-Step System for selecting a Beautiful Stair System.” Choose the post to post style, or the over the post option, if the stairway will have open treads or a kneewall. Then, select the balusters, handrails and posts. It might be a little tougher than that, as the selection of wood and ornamental balusters is numerous, not to mention the array of post styles. A complete ornamental iron collection offers mild steel construction that is highly durable, but adds elegance to new and older homes alike. Add options such as rosettes, brackets, bending rails and wall rails to the picture and pretty soon, you can build a staircase that is unlike any other in the neighborhood.

L.J. Smith also offers a full line of installation hardware and tools to improve the strength and quality of the finished product. SBS carries some of the L.J. Smith staircases in-stock and most others are available by special order. Ask an SBS expert for a L.J. Smith stair systems catalog or visit the company on line at www.ljsmith.net.
