Modern solutions
Even an ordinary staircase for everyday work, can be used to improve the interior of the house. What about the other stairs at the entrance to the house or leading to the second floor. A variety of colors, materials and shapes, offer the most profitable solutions.
Spectacular spiral, with and without railings, classic straight stairs ... All of them are created by individual order. The client’s desires are considered, what are the possibilities for a modern staircase - its width, height, number of steps and shape directly depend on the space reserved for the staircase. The external staircase of the house is easier to equip, everything is clear and simple, it remains only to choose the material from which the main decoration of the house will be created.
Outdoor stairs
An external staircase plays an important decorative role in any building. We are pleased with the glossy sheen of the external staircase at the entrance to the bank, or the wooden staircase of a private house, where even from the street an impression of comfort is created. Requirements for external stairs are standard - comfort and safety. Like the external material of the whole house, the staircase is resistant to various weather conditions, such as humidity and low temperature. To protect the stairs from atmospheric influences, various peaks are used and, in privacy, glass peaks. The use of tempered glass visors, at present, is a stylish solution to the interior of the house.
For convenience, during the construction of the house staircase, it should be borne in mind that the average length of our step is 60-65 cm, according to experts, each step should have a height of 18 cm, a width of about 30 cm. An important rule - the higher, the narrower the landing . If the stairs are above 50 cm, a railing is required.
An interesting solution is offered by stair manufacturers - prefabricated structures that can be assembled in one hour.
Most exterior staircases are usually made of concrete and covered with a layer of tile or stone. This solution is very convenient for reconstruction in case of damage. Outdoor stone stairs are made of balsat or granite, they have a durable, abrasion resistant surface, but the use of marble is not recommended, as it is slippery. In addition to stone steps, anti-slip rubber strips are used. A stone road staircase creates a special fairytale atmosphere.
The stairs, covered with clinker bricks, porcelain stoneware and terracotta, are frost-resistant, resistant to abrasion and have low moisture absorption. The outer layer of the stairs provides an attractive look for many years.
Wooden stairs undergo special treatment from the external environment, providing protection against moisture and insects. The boards of the external stairs are most often made of pine, spruce and larch, there are also stairs from more expensive, exotic woods.
Internal stairs
The internal staircase is by far the most impressive detail of the house. She can radically change the whole design and create a unique interior style. As well as a street staircase, the inside can be made of various materials, but there are more opportunities here, and new materials are added, such as glass and metal. The internal staircase differs in shape. For example, this is not just a spiral staircase, but a designer masterpiece.
And this spiral staircase is made no less unusual, its steps resemble a fan.
A spiral staircase is made with or without railing, it depends on its height, and who will use it. It is clear that such a ladder is dangerous for children and the elderly, this is nothing more than a tribute to fashion (modern minimalism).
The most common form of stairs is straight. Depending on the area provided, it can be two-march with or without a landing.
Another type of staircase is the loft staircase for the attic. This is a great solution to save space. The stationary staircase easily folds into the emptiness of the attic and is closed by a hatch in the ceiling.
The main point in the design of stairs is not only the color and shape, but also the width of the stairs or railings. It is known that a wide staircase with bulky railings and beams can reduce the room in the house, so it is recommended to install miniature stairs in small rooms. It can be cantilevered stairs, they create the effect of lightness. Despite the fact that the cantilever staircase is held only by fastenings on the wall, it can withstand weight up to 400 kg.
The most popular material for interior stairs is reinforced concrete. It is cheaper than other building materials, but requires an aesthetic finish. Reinforced concrete stairs from above cover almost all the materials used in the staircase production. Facing is carried out by a carpet, a tile with high resistance to sliding, a tree and granite.
Wooden stairs for a country house should be painted in the color of the interior or varnished, this increases their service life. The wooden staircase is made of beech, ash, birch, oak, cherry and walnut, rarely from conifers. Due to the variety of colors of trees, the staircase is easy to pick up to the interior of the house.
Glass stairs for a country house are extremely durable and absolutely safe. Production technology and stainless steel support provide complete protection against accidental chips. Designers are very fond of working with glass, the glass staircase brings minimalism, illuminates the interior and a special magical aura. One of the brightest ways to decorate glass railings is to put various photographs or drawings between the layers, which gives really wonderful results.
The stairs for a country house are metal, they require proper design, more innovative, bold and modern. Such a staircase is unlikely to fit into the classic interior. The metal staircase is not very convenient, because over time it makes characteristic sounds when walking and has a slippery surface.
Interior design is very important for any home, stairs give impressive results in this area. For a good example, we always offer video viewing.
