Since ancient times, people have built houses on several floors. An integral part of them are interstorey staircases.
The staircase in the house now plays not only a functional role, as it was before. It still performs an important design function, being one of the main decorations of the room.
Modern staircases are distinguished by their design features, materials of manufacture, types.
Staircase interstorey can be of several types:
By its design, the staircase of the interstorey is divided into the following types:
For the manufacture of stairs are suitable for almost all types of building materials:
In many cases, the materials are combined, which makes each individual staircase unique.
Stairs can not only be bought, but also manufacturedyourself. For this you need to take into account the size and height of the room, the maximum load, how often it will be used, what additional functions it will carry. All this needs to be considered at the design stage of the building.
In the absence of experience, it is not necessary to choose complex andintricate designs of stairs. From materials it is best to prefer wood. In this case, shortcomings during work can be hidden or corrected without significant problems. Another plus in favor of wood is light weight.
Construction begins with the design andcalculations. Particular attention is given to safety and comfort. For safety requirements, the staircase must necessarily have handrails. And the distance between the balusters should be such that the head of the child does not pass between them. The recommended height of the handrail is 90 cm.
The width of the steps is recommended not less than 25-30 cm, so that the foot is completely placed on them. The desired height is 20 cm. To calculate the number of steps, the floor area is divided by their width.
The angle of the stairs is 30-40 degrees, which provides convenience and safety of movement.
After manufacturing and installation, the staircase between floors is covered with decorative and protective means, which makes it more attractive.
