Stairs in residential and commercial buildings have many appearances, not only in type and size, but also in material and design. Regardless of the choice of stairs and choice of materials, a technical drawing must be made to solve the level difference between ground and floor. When preparing a technical drawing, there are several factors that play an important role in the development of a safe and comfortable staircase.
The stair length
A safe and enjoyable walkable step is the starting point when determining stair length. Generally, the stair length in a private home is many times smaller than a utility building due to the lack of space.
The stair width
When determining the stair width, it is important to think about the comfort of using the stairs. A stair width where you can easily take the stairs with 2 is on average 90 to 100 cm wide.
The rise angle
The rise angle is the number of degrees by which the staircase rises. To obtain a smoothly walkable staircase that is easy for both young and old to use, we at Nesko Engineering recommend choosing a rise angle of up to 45%.
The smaller the angle of rise, the easier the staircase’s walkability.
The platform
A platform is widely used to cover large distances or allow the stairs to change direction without problems.
Many times a landing is a resting place for the older generation, where they can take a break after climbing the straight staircase.
Stairs in all shapes and forms
Today there are a lot of possible staircase shapes. The use of these forms depends entirely on your personal taste, but of course the available space must also be taken into account. Did you know that the straight pitch staircase is the most widely used and simplest staircase?
