Stairs on Kosoura today - the most popular version of this building structure. They usually have a graceful appearance and have a number of advantages. They can be made from almost any structural building material, whether it is wood, stone or even glass. The base itself - the kosour - is made exclusively of durable metal profiles or prefabricated cranked beams. This is what gives the whole structure the following advantages:
- The staircase on such a support looks weightless and elegant. This is especially important if it is installed in a room where it is impossible to perform any other design because of its small size.
- The versatility of this design allows it to be used both for residential premises and for industrial and public buildings.
- It is possible to use various elements to decorate the structure, since the kosour is a very durable element that can withstand heavy loads.
Types of structures
Structurally, staircases on the kosoura can be made single-marching, if this allows you to make the amount of space chosen for it. In this case, the rise should be gentle enough for convenience.
They can also be made with a rotation of 90 °, where the marches are located at right angles to each other. These kosoura staircases save space without losing reliability and durability.
180 ° swivel constructions or U-shaped staircases on Kosoura can also be completely wooden. At the same time, for strength, two side braces can be made instead of one.
Mounting Features
It is believed that the wooden staircase on the kosoura is one of the simplest in execution technology. Usually for her, not one, but three braces are performed. For wooden structures, the right choice of material is very important. Softwoods are durable and easy to process. Beech and oak wood is very durable, but can be processed much worse.
Structurally, the steps are mounted in grooves made in a board, which is a kosour. The board selected for this should be strong enough even after the grooves are completed. The steps can be mounted directly on the carrier board or mounted on the riser. When the two-ladder staircase is installed, an intermediate platform is made, which is installed on vertical racks. Their height is determined by adding the height of all risers from below. The space under the stairs can be occupied by arranging a pantry there.
Wooden staircases on Kosoura look very impressive with various decorative details. This can be a railing made with elements of artistic woodcarving, invitation steps, a special varnish coating, which allows to highlight the natural structure of the tree and paint it in the desired shade. That is, wood as a material provides many options for decoration. Forged metal railing can also be used as decoration, which will also give the design a certain charm.
