Definitions for "Spiral Stair"
A stair that is made completely of winder treads with a very tight circular radius. Spiral stairs appear to corkscrew their way around a center post. Sprial stairs take up a very small footprint so they are popular where a stair is needed but cannot take up a lot of room (like in a loft). Click here to see a photo of a spiral stair.
