STAIRS

We need stairs ideas to get the best choice and live in houses with 2 or more levels, even if we had an elevator inside the house, due to security requirements.

Stairs are structures that have consecutive steps that serve to communicate the levels in a house or construction in general. They are structures, but they can also become true works of art within the space where they are presented.

Beyond simple steps and cute sculptural forms, stairs can be very functional elements within a BEAUTIFUL HOME DESIGN, including storage solutions, interior gardens, attractive interior lighting designs, and even spaces to sit. It is for these various reasons that we must devote all the attention they deserve.

Straight staircases, with a single section. It is the simplest model. They are used in places with less traffic of people and bridge floor unevenness that are not very high. It is for this reason that they do not need breaks in between. They can be of different materials.

It must be remembered that the stairs of a flight or stairs of a single branch, should not have more than 16 to 18 steps. This number of continuous steps varies slightly from country to country, so it would be a good idea to check the regulations in your country.

In the event that you need the ladder, more than 18 steps, you must put an intermediate landing. So it would be a straight staircase with two flights, or an “L” staircase with two or more flights.

Concrete Staircases

Concrete stairs are one of the most common, due to the benefits that reinforced concrete offers us, such as better versatility, good durability and lower cost, compared to metal stairs, for example.

Reinforced concrete, being moldable and resistant, allows you to build any type of staircase, be it one, two or three sections, whether in “L”, “U” or spiral. In addition, it can be adapted to any architectural style and to any weather or climate condition.

Another factor, in favor of concrete, is that these can be prefabricated or cast “in situ”. This decision will depend on your design, the facilities to build on site, the available budget, and the speed we need in the execution.

In the architecture of a house, it is a great complement to interior decoration, and even exterior, especially when we have large glass surfaces on the facade.

In buildings with a social function, places that are too important and crowded tend to have sculptural stair designs, thus giving a great hierarchy to hotel lobbies, sports centers, stores, among others.

There are several types of stands that are designed according to the place where they are located, the area in which they are arranged, the functionality and their structural and volumetric shape. Within these types, we find the CONCRETE stairs… You can follow the link.

How to Build a Concrete Staircase (Step by Step)

How to Build a Concrete Staircase (Step by Step)

Carrying out a CONSTRUCTION OF STAIRS inside a house is a complex task, since it is necessary to do (most likely) foundations, formwork, place the steel reinforcements, pour the concrete, complete the stairs with floats and cure it and remove the formwork after a certain time.

Different steps must be carried out in the construction sequence, such as, for example, setting out the concrete staircase in elevation, making the formwork, placing the steel covering pieces, placing the reinforcing steel, among others.

Follow this methodology of HOW TO BUILD A CONCRETE STAIRCASE step by step.

Creative Stairs for Small Spaces

The design of the interior staircase of a house must be adjusted to the dimensions of the house itself. If the house has little space, it is necessary to design stairs that take up less space, therefore, the model or design of the staircase must be adapted to this conditioning factor.

This is for reasons of occupying less space and avoiding being an obstacle to circulation, but also so that the interior design is adequate, without elements that are loud or out of scale.

Today, many people and families decide to build their houses smaller and smaller and… What are the stairs THAT TAKE UP LESS SPACE?

What are the Measurements of a Staircase, By Regulations

There are many different types of stairs, each with different characteristics. Some time ago, we published an article showing you 100 stair designs. These examples can be used for inspiration, but when forced to, each staircase is unique.

In the process of designing and building, there are a few things that you need to consider before you start using them. Before you call in a professional, read on and learn everything you need to know.

In small houses and small spaces, we need small stairs that fit the minimum existing space. So we need to know what the minimum measurements of this important architectural element are. Let’s see, the STANDARD STAIRS DIMENSIONS, by regulations.

In cantilevered or floating stairs for interiors, the steps do not have a riser and are suspended in the air, with a single point of support, so they must be well anchored to the load-bearing wall or support beam, to resist the weight of the people who they pass through them.

Do you KNOW WHERE TO PUT the Stairs in a House?

To correctly design a staircase, it is necessary to have analyzed in detail the space where it would be built or placed, and the functional and circulation relationships of all the related spaces, both those on the ground floor (from where the staircase starts), such as the analysis of the spaces of the upper floor(s).

This first analysis is essential, so that the location of the staircase of a house is right, and then, we could start designing, with good footing, the shape and style of this architectural and structural element, (with possibilities of be sculptural, if it were design stairs), and that will connect the different floors of the house.

Metal Stairs Ideas

Generally, today, these are stairs that are totally or partially manufactured industrially. Its steps, at least, are usually produced in a factory in modular pieces of different styles, sizes, and materials.

These stairs made of hot or cold rolled metal can take any shape, whether straight, “L”, “U” or spiral. Its main drawback is its high cost, compared to concrete or wood stairs.

In a small house, the available spaces and areas are smaller, so the designer who tries to design the rooms and the staircase that connects the different floors must be very precise, in each location that he makes, whether they are doors and windows, corridors, stairs, etc.

Staircases for Small Spaces

In this case, it is about stairs for reduced and small spaces, therefore, they will not comply with the general ordinances, with steps of up to 180mm and/or treads of more than 250mm. Sometimes they are necessary.

To make up for the deficiency of some element of the stair design that may affect its safety and comfort, we can do the following:

  • That the materials of the steps are made of wood or another flexible material.
  • That the ladder has handrails on both sides, improving safety and comfort in its use.
  • That the steps of the stairs are well lit.
  • That there is a color contrast between the stairs and the floor and the surrounding walls.
  • That the floor where the stairs come out, be made of a flexible material, wood, etc.
  • That the edges and corners of the steps are rounded
