Another ancient builders had the secret of the design of stairs intended for the convenience of lifting or descent. In this case, only the designs are capable of ensuring proper comfort that observe the required ratio of distances to which a person is lowered or rises and which he moves forward.
Today, such terms are used to determine these values as “the height of the Approach”, as well as the “width of the daze”.
The height of the approach is the height of the rise or the vertical plane of the step. This parameter fluctuates usually within 12-22 centimeters.
The width of the detle is calculated in the form of a step width or distance between the edges of the neighboring steps and to ensure the required convenience, as a rule, is 25-40 centimeters.
In particular, all these parameters can be purely individual and are determined primarily by the purpose of the stairs.
How, at the same time, looking at the catalog of stairs to choose the perfect staircase for the home, especially given the need to save the useful area and the constraint of the existing space?
So, to ensure the optimal convenience of movement between the floors of the house you can pay attention to the following parameters of the builders of the structures proposed today:
– The ability of the stairs and the railing to withstand the loads applied to them. Moreover, for the railing, this figure is at least 100 kg, and for the steps directly ranges from 180-200 kilograms.
– The width of the stairwell determines both convenience and safety of movement, therefore, it should be at least a meter, while in some cases it is allowed to reduce this number to 80 centimeters.
– The minimum railing height is 0.9 m, and the distance between balusters should not exceed 15 centimeters.
– It is also worth taking into account the necessary height of the passage, namely the distance from the steps to the ceiling, which for convenience should be at least 2 m.
– For curved stairs, the radius of curvature should be at least 30 cm.
– Also, do not neglect the parameters of security, for example, the distance between the wall and the stairwell, the permissible value of which cannot exceed 5-6 cm.
