Stairs Designs
The stairs is considered as the passageway of the house from the ground floor to the upper level. Houses that are built with two or more storey require the construction of stairs to be able to go from the first floor to the succeeding floors. Different stairs designs can be implemented in the construction of a house which depends on several factors such as the space where it will be constructed, the appearance that is aimed to be achieved, and the materials to be used in constructing the stairs.
If the area where the stairs to be constructed is small, a spiral staircase is perfect for it. A spiral staircase is made with a round frame where the way to go up is done in a spiral manner. This is a space-saving stairs design because it only requires a horizontal space equivalent tot the diameter of the staircase. A spiral staircase is commonly made of metal.
A regular staircase can be constructed in a spacious area since it usually eats up a large space. Concrete staircases made with this design usually require a very large space to be constructed on. To add functionality to the space that this design of stairs has occupied, a storage room can be built in its base. Another innovation of this design is constructing it with drawers in every step of the stairs.
Hanging stairs are commonly used in fire exits. This design of stairs is what you can see in the exterior of most residential or even commercial buildings. Some modern houses use this design of stairs to make their house unique. This is applicable for bachelor pads and not for family houses since this design of stairs is not very child friendly.
