Can spiral staircases be built to any height?

No, spiral staircases cannot be built to any height. Building codes set maximum and minimum heights for each tread and the overall height of the staircase. In addition, the height should be proportional to the diameter of the staircase to ensure safe and comfortable usage. As the height increases, the diameter of the staircase also needs to increase to accommodate the necessary number of treads and maintain a safe and comfortable level of steepness.
