What should be the stairs in the house

Before designing a staircase to a house, you need to consider what requirements it must meet. This is important not only for the interior, but also for your safety. First of all, the ladder must be very strong and reliable. It is important that it is safe to move along it, that is, there is no risk of accidentally falling from a height. The rise to the floor should be well lit, positioned so as not to take up too much space, and located with a minimum slope. The greater the slope, the harder it will be to overcome the steps.

How to choose an internal staircase for a private house — If there are elderly or disabled people in the house, then you should also think over all the nuances: it is possible that a lifting device will be required to climb the stairs

Based on all these requirements, we will consider the options for stairs and how suitable they are for a private house.

Staircase with modular steps

Nowadays, modular designs are considered the most modern and stylish. Such stairs can be without railings, but still it is better not to risk it.

The materials of modular stairs are quite durable and strong, but if we consider the reliability of the structure as a whole, it is inferior to the classic options

Swivel staircase

This version of the staircase is usually mounted near the wall. To reduce the slope, a turn is provided.

In general, this option significantly saves space, and the area under the stairs can be turned into a storage cabinet or pantry for inventory.

Spiral staircases and their features

Screw structures are considered the most compact, since there is enough space for them of only one and a half square meters.

But the operation of such structures will cause a lot of inconvenience: you cannot lift furniture up such a ladder, it is unsafe for children and elderly family members

One- and two-flight stairs

A single-flight ladder is a simple, straight structure that can be placed literally anywhere.

The only condition is to maintain a comfortable angle of inclination for lifting.

Two-march buildings are only suitable for houses with a large area, because they occupy at least 35 square meters, which means that the hall must be at least 70.

But such stairs also look decent and there are no complaints about convenience or safety.

What to make a staircase from?

There are three material options for a staircase to a house: wood, metal or concrete.

Each of the materials has its own nuances. But if we talk about the conformity of structures, then ordinary straight and modular stairs are usually made of wood. Metal is commonly seen in a screw structure, and concrete is suitable for all options, including rotary ones.

When choosing a tree, keep in mind that it requires constant maintenance. It is necessary to ensure that the steps are not warped by moisture.

But on the other hand, you can walk barefoot up the wooden stairs.

Concrete in this regard requires much less attention, but it is a cold construction.

But a concrete staircase can serve indefinitely.

Iron, especially when hand-forged, looks stylish. But like concrete, it is a cold material.

Ideally, wood and iron should be combined - it will turn out to be both stylish and practical.

If you make a choice from the options presented, then for a small country house, a rotary staircase made of metal and wood will be the most convenient. And it will save space and meet all safety and reliability requirements.
