Staircase Stories: Mrs Skyte, Milton Keynes

modern installation with glass and Abbott-Wade’s cube handrails was the specification required by the Skyte family. The great service and craftsmanship provided left a lasting impression with Mrs Skyte – as did her her new and fabulous staircase!

 

“It’s clear that they care about doing a good job – their hearts are in it which is very refreshing these days. I’m so glad that I chose Abbott-Wade and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Well done and don’t lose the passion!” 

Watch: Climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, Paris

Measuring 324 metres tall (including antennas) and weighing 10,100 tonnes, the Eiffel Towers is one of the worlds most iconic structures despite the fact that when built 130 years ago it was only intended to stand for 20 years before being dismantled.

Today the tower welcomes 7 million people a year – many of which naturally ascend the tower in the lifts which travel a combined distance of 103,000 km a year which is equivalent to two and a half times the circumference of the Earth!

Alternatively, if you’ve got a head for heights and the legs for it you can climb the 1,665 steps instead…or you let someone else do it for you and just watch the video below.
