For people who are building a new home with two or more levels, it is critical that you take into account where you plan to place your staircase and how you intend to design it to eloquently fit the style of your house. The purpose of a staircase is not only to serve as a function to carry people within the home from one level to the next, but also to add character and add to the overall look, feel and character of your home's eloquent design. Also note, that depending on where you place it, it also retains the ability to be used as a focal point at the entryway of your house.
For most staircases, there will be three basic components. The steps are located on what is called the flight of stairs, a term familiar to most all people who have had the pleasure of using a staircase. The landing area is the flat space where you rest on flat plane in between the flights of stairs. Each step contains a tread, the flat surface area where your foot rests in between each step, and a riser, the vertical part of the step.
The majority of staircases from the loft Staircases UK contain handrails to help support people as they walk up and down the various levels within the household, and they can be designed a seemingly infinite number of ways. We cannot stress enough how critical it is that you actively ensure your handrails are safely secure and height proportionate before they are designed aesthetically, in order to prevent any potential falls and to make sure people walking between the levels have that added support. This is advocated for balance, and can be done through making sure you have the right height specifications, as well as ensuring they are securely bolted into the wall or the base of the steps.
You have plenty of staircase options to choose from, and it is just a matter of finding the one that fits the design and functionality of your home remodel. For example, you can choose one that is a direct and straight flight of steps with no resting spaces in between or a spiral Oak Stairs, that wraps around in a circular type motion, occupying less square footage within your home. For those who would like to put landing areas throughout the staircase, it is advised you put them strategically in the middle or at quarter points. Additionally, a landing also grants you the opportunity to transform the direction of the staircase to the next level, so that it can make alternative shapes, quite similar to a spiral staircase. When remodeling or building a multi level home, please take all of these factors into consideration when designing your staircase.
