Ajax properties—from Lakeside homes to newer subdivisions and commercial plazas—often require safe, code-compliant egress solutions for basements, side entrances, and workplace emergency exits.
Art Metal designs and installs engineered steel egress stair systems that meet Ontario Building Code requirements while providing long-lasting durability.
We install egress stairs for:
Basement walkouts & secondary dwelling units
Commercial emergency exits
Industrial loading and access points
Multi-unit residential buildings
Retail and office back-of-house exits
Whether you’re in South Ajax, Pickering Village, Duffins Bay, Discovery Bay, Central Ajax, or along Salem & Harwood corridors, our team handles full design, fabrication, and installation tailored to your property.
Egress stairs in Ajax face unique environmental conditions—lake-effect moisture, clay-heavy soil, and freeze-thaw cycles common near the waterfront. That’s why we build stair systems that stay secure, stable, and safe year-round.

Anti-slip treads for rain, snow, and humidity
Galvanized or powder-coated finishes to prevent rust
