Stairs in the house: marching or spiral?

The staircase is much more than a means of reaching the upper floors. This is an architectural dominant, the visual axis of the house. To her all the attention.

Yes, and to raise / lower furniture is problematic. The most suitable - flat structures with an angle of inclination up to 38 °.

• The comfort step is also influenced by the “step of the staircase” (the ratio of the height and width of the step). And the depth of the steps. Comfortable - 16–25 cm. For safety reasons, a fence with a height of 80 cm or more is desirable. However, it visually makes the structure heavier. Architects offer expressive options without restrictions, they seem to hover in the air. And yet: if there are children in the house, safety is paramount.

• The choice of materials is determined by the architectural concept of the building. Traditional - tree. Preferred hardwoods: beech, oak, maple, ash. To cover the wooden stairs, use non-slip varnishes. And for cleaning - do not use furniture polishes and wax mastic. Wooden stairs can be painted in any color. But truly high-quality painting can be carried out only before the assembly and installation of the structure.

• Stone stairs - the most difficult - not every house will stand; under them lay a separate foundation. Marble is used more often, as well as more wear-resistant granite. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to use polished stone - it is slippery. Very expressive design of the "primeval" concrete.

The staircase in the villa of Villa George Lindemann Junior is decorated with 37 varieties of marble.

• Spiral staircase. The main advantage of this type of stairs: compactness. They are usually twisted counterclockwise. Convenient models have a diameter of 200-220 cm. Less than 140 cm is not recommended. The width of the march in this case is 50 cm.
