Stairs

The staircase is one of the most important elements in a building. Finding a suitable design and location for the staircase in the room is a serious challenge for both homeowners and architects. Based on the experience of the stair manufacturer, it would be advisable to provide answers to the following questions when finding a solution for the stairs:

1) Should the staircase be an accent of the interior design or rather merge with the rest of the design
2) How much floor space (including the part of the room) you are willing to assign to the stairwells
3) Should natural light fall on the stairs
4) Whether and how much should the staircase turn
5) Whether turns the staircase are solved with stair landings or fan shaped treads.It is worth noting that the staircase with a platform or a landing is more convenient to use, but always takes up more space than a fan-shaped tread staircase.Staircase style and budgetBased on the answers, the style of your staircase will develop. If you chose a centrally located parade staircase, you should now continue with the choice of materials that support the primary choice. However, in a more modest position in the background of the room, the stairs can be ordered to be made of simpler and cheaper materials. As in fashion, stair fashion has its own trends. To keep up with the latest stair trends, it is worth consulting architects and interior designers. The price of the stairs is mainly determined by the complexity of the work, the amount of material and its quality class. If, in addition to precious wood, glass and metal are added to the selection of stair components, a larger stair budget must be considered.Safety and ease of useThe staircase connects the different levels we live on and the traffic between them is different at different stages of life. When planning a staircase in a house or apartment where currently no small children live, one could also think about the time when children appear in the family. The safety of using the stairs is important not only for children but also for older family members. When designing a staircase, we can have a lot of influence on the safety of its further use. A handrail-free staircase may seem minimalist, but in the long run it certainly involves dangers. One should not be afraid of handrails. By choosing anti-slip coverings for stairs and avoiding narrow stair turns, we create a connecting path that invites us to use it and is safe even after decades.Stair formula 2H+B=63, what is it?Did you know what the formula 2H+B=63 often found in the information materials of stair manufacturers means? Using this formula, it is possible to find/check the optimal ratio of step height to depth. H=step height and B=step depth. Example: Your staircase should comfortably take you from one floor to another with a height difference of 2450 mm. Suppose you divide this height by 14 steps. Thus, the difference in height of all steps (step height) is 17.5 cm. You offer 30.0 cm for the depth of the step. Let us check the operation of the formula: 2 * 17,5 + 30 = 65 If the value derived from the formula is close to 63, it is a comfortable and optimal staircase.
