Building Stairs

Building stairs for interior or exterior home improvements must follow national and local building code requirements to ensure safe to use staircases. An interior staircase serves as the architectural and functional focal structure of the home. Building deck stairs make outdoor decks highly accessible to every occupant of the house. By means of stair remodeling you can transform dull and vertical stairs into breathtaking passageways that are safe to use.

Building stairs services include:

• Contractors
• Staircase Designs

A successful design incorporates ample headroom and suitable width of treads and steps to permit safe and comfortable stair ascend and descend. The term – "unit rise" describes the dimension of one staircase step while "unit run" defines the measurement of one tread. When going up or down staircases we automatically adjust our pace according to actual height of steps. To prevent dangerous falls each unit rise must equal each unit run, otherwise expect to trip down the stairs.

The width-to-length ratio of the entire staircase is an important designing factor in ensuring the welcoming appeal of stairs. High elevations should be sectioned into several landing platforms to prevent very steep and uninviting staircases. We tend to grip handrails for supplemented support when ascending or descending a staircase. In addition to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the staircase, handrails must fit average hand size to enable proper grasping when going up and down the stairs.
