Steps for stairs: their features

The staircase is an essential element of the interior and has great functional significance. It can be made of different materials on the basis of various design principles, which allows the product to be of high quality and unique.

Types

Such constructions are divided into three types: marching, spiral and staircase on rails.

March Staircase

The most common type of product is considered to be a marching structure with well-considered biomechanics of human movements, and it consists of so-called marches, which contain from three to fifteen steps. If the product is very long, the correct solution would be to install intermediate platforms equal to the march width. The steps for the stairs should be equal to the length of the step of the person. Marching structures are closed and open, with braids and bowstrings, which make up the main bearing part. In the bowstring products, the steps are fixed in the extended grooves in the interior of the load-bearing beams. In slanting constructions, steps for stairs are placed in “saddles” along with risers.

Spiral staircase

The next type is a spiral or spiral staircase, used in case of lack of space in the room and considered less convenient for movement.

Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the steps for the stairs are mounted around the rack, usually metal or wooden.

Staircase

An alternative in convenience and space saving is considered to be a staircase on bolts, in other words, bolts, pins, pivots, contributing to the suspension of the product in a living room. In this case, the steps for the stairs are fixed to the wall with bolts. According to manufacturers, such designs are very durable and reliable, capable of supporting the weight of one hundred people at a time. This stability can be explained by bolts that are attached to the wall with rubber gaskets. They reduce vibration and stress on the spine with joints. With this model in any room there will be enough light and space.

Dimensions

For the design and installation of a convenient, beautiful and high-quality construction for lifting, certain size requirements must be adhered to. The height of the stairs should be 14-20 centimeters, its width - 80-120 centimeters, and the depth - 28-35 centimeters. It must be remembered that the number of steps directly depends on their height and the entire height of the structure. After all, this product, in addition to beauty, should have such characteristics as safety and convenience. The configuration of staircases is determined by the conditions available in the room, such as size, floor height and purpose of the structure. For example, a staircase leading to the attic will be used extremely rarely, so there is no need for her to be large and executed strictly in all respects. But in living rooms with an attic or a full floor, both children and adults will often move around on it, which means, in this case, you need to carefully think out and design a plan for its construction. The dimensions of the steps of the stairs and risers are calculated according to a special formula, which depends on the length of a person’s step, which professionals use in their work.
