Imagine a two-story country cottage, stylish and modern, well-designed and catchy, with an interesting composition and architecture. In a sound and thoughtfully built house, its interior design should be in harmony with the exterior. As a result, various little things play a role in space planning: niches, alcoves, arches and stairs. In this article we will talk about why a spiral staircase is installed so often in country houses.
In arranging the space around us, we strive for comfort and creating a cozy atmosphere. If the house that we are going to build will have two floors, then the construction of a staircase will be required. Screw prefabricated structures are most often used when there is not enough space in the room to install a conventional staircase with marches. What are their main advantages?
- Allows efficient use of living space.
- Attached around a special rack or pole.
- Give the opportunity to transform the look of any room.
The spiral staircase must be erected correctly. For example, few people know: the peculiarity of this design is that the ladders themselves are attached with a narrow side to the rack, and with a wide side - to the railing or balusters. Accordingly, you need to go up and down very carefully. The optimal width of the steps is from 25 to 40 cm. The peculiarity of the screw design is that it can be made of metal or wood, have a square, round or octagonal shape. The choice depends on the style features of the room.
By the way, any spiral staircase is designed for a specific building, and you can even purchase a large-volume structure. But ideally, you need to choose this integral element depending on the width of the opening. It is she who affects the steepness of the stairs, and hence its convenience.
Features of the wooden structure
Today spiral wooden stairs are very popular. In their manufacture, the most complex elements are the bowstring and the handrail. And the popularity of the wooden version lies in the fact that today more and more houses are being built from wood - timber, logs. And this is explained by a gradual return to the traditions of Russian architecture. Accordingly, every detail of a wooden house should correspond to its design as a whole.
Today, beautiful stairs in country houses are not uncommon, and thanks to modern technology, you can create a project in any style. And this will reflectrefinement of taste of future homeowners. Ideally, a spiral staircase should meet the following requirements:
- the width of the step should be comfortable for the foot of an adult;
- handrails must be built, while the shape of the handrail can be chosen depending on the design;
- for a vertical staircase, a central beam must be installed;
- For the steps to be reliable, they need to be fixed on the supporting wall.
When choosing one or another design, start not so much from its external characteristics as from indicators of reliability and quality. This will make the spiral staircase safe to move around.
