The owners of small two-storey houses and apartments in Townhouses often have to fit the staircase into close space. How to reduce the dimensions of the staircase march without turning the rise and descent to climbing exercises?
Select the type and configuration of the staircase (marching or screw, with or without), preferably before the construction of the house. After the construction of partitions and overlaps, provide a convenient message between the floors and enter the staircase in the interior will be much more complicated.
The projection dimensions of the stairs on the plan can be varied in fairly wide limits, but it must be borne in mind that with an increase in the steepness and a decrease in the width of the march, the movement will become less comfortable.

Spiral stairs are comfortable, compact and elegant, however, they are made only to order, and often a pre-assembly is performed on factory stakele
The degree of steepness
There are several ways to save space during the construction of a traditional staircase on the growths or cosos. Some of them allow to reduce the cost of the structure. However, it is not always possible to provide a convenient inter-storey message.

You can get used to the magnified steepness and turns to get used to the march. But if, as a result of inaccurate measurement and unscrupulous installation, the first or last stage will be much higher or lower than the rest, the movement on the stairs will be unsafe
An increase in the ripples of the rise to 45 ° and more (the norm is considered 30-40 °)
From a technical point of view, this event does not represent any complexity: moreover, the load on carrier beams is reduced (and therefore it can be done thinner) and the number of steps and balasine decreases. But the size of the march is depends on the inclination of the march (that is, the depth and height of the steps); If the first value is less than 27 cm, and the second will exceed 18 cm, then it will be hard to climb the stairs, and even dangerously descend.To save space, it is not necessary to increase the lifting steer. You can, for example, arrange a storage room under the storage room for the storage of seasonal things or sports equipment
Of course, you can not sew the risers, use the duck step type in combination with the anti-slip coating. Nevertheless, such designs are essentially a hybrid of an inter-storey staircase and an attic. Despite all the tricks of the designers, they remain uncomfortable for the elderly.
Dimensional landmarks
The greatest comfort is ensured when the ratio of the sticky and the riser ranges from 300 × 150 to 280 × 170 mm. The maximum permissible size of the classic design is 270 × 200 mm. When the device of steep marchs, it is necessary to use the stages of the indirectacular shape, which makes it alternately (on the right, then to the left) to increase commens. The optimal height of the railing is 90 cm, and the distance between the racks is about 15 cm. The width of the handrail should be 55-75 mm; It is desirable that it is assembled without angular joints (smooth bends) and discontinuities.Reducing the march width to 60-80 cm (instead of the 90-110 cm)
The winning area in this case is small, and comfortably decreases sharply.
The staircase with one-sided movement will cause congestion (especially if you have a big family and you like to receive guests), and the furniture is available on the cables through the balconies and windows.
Device running steps
The rejection of the staircase when turning the march allows you to give 1-2 m2 on the first or second floor (on this area it will be possible, for example, to place a guest sofa) while maintaining a normal angle of inclination, that is, without serious damage to the convenience of the rise and descent. True, ladders with overtakers are produced mainly to order after removing measurements, moreover, such models are 10-30% more expensive than products with a platform (mainly due to a more complex configuration of beams).

In popular models today on steel cososours and bolted tightenings - the bits of the risers, as a rule, leave open
Buy or order?
Nowadays, sets of components for stairs - steps, support pillars, balaasine are quite widely represented in construction hypermarkets, there are even rigs with a standard tilt (about 35 °). A homemade master without much difficulty with bolted screeds, furniture screws and joinery glue will collect direct march or design with a platform from these parts.As for the factory stairs, they are mainly supplied to order (buy a set from the manufacturer's warehouse - a big luck). When buying a domestic product, the prepayment amount is 5-50%, and the period of waiting is 15-45 days; If we are talking about the import staircase, you will have to pay 50-100% in advance of the cost and wait until 3 months. Over the same period or even faster in the joinery workshop, they make a piece model - one of the typical projects or the sketch of your designer, and it will cost cheaper by an imported factory similar type, similar dimensions and made of the same materials.
Using a modular rotary cowra
Such spaces are collected from the parts of the Z-shaped form, which when installing are inserted into each other and fix the screws or weld. Modules can be rotated relative to each other and adjust the height of steps in the range of 20-40 mm by means of installation.
Distance washers, thanks to which it is easy to arrange a turn march without a platform and adapt the staircase to the size of the room. Such structures are sold in the form of prefabricated sets, and parts almost do not require fitting on site; Their cost starts from 80 thousand rubles.
Bearing elements of stairs (theetics, boosters, consoles, support pillars, etc.) It is allowed to fix only to the beams and slabs of overlaps, capital walls
Rock up the spiral
Screw stairs occupy little space, have a convenient tossy height (usually no more than 17 cm) and it is easy to adapt to the layout of the room and the height of the ceilings. Such models can be ordered in a joiner's workshop or purchase in the form of a kit of factory-made parts and to assemble themselves, which will save money and time. Budget series of finished products produce companies such as "our staircase", Alfa Scale, Dolle, Oman.

Quality control
When choosing a wooden staircase manufacturer, it is necessary to be attentive, as many companies allow for marriage. You can pre-evaluate the product in the quality of the wood used. On the growths and cosos, there should be no bitch, and on the steps and handrails - plots with porous core, large custodial defects (to distinguish the splock from the wood is not difficult: it is always another shade, usually lighter). If a non-disgraced wood was used, the details will soon begin to crack and brew. And bad glue will be the cause of the symbol. Alas, to independently evaluate the moisture content of lumber and the quality of the adhesive is difficult, so you will examine the reviews and make sure that the firm performs warranty obligations.The steps of the screw staircase are put on the central pillar, separating remote beds, and their second ends are combined by the hospitals. The latter in tandem with railings perform the function of the volume frame. In custom products, instead of hospitals, it is sometimes used by a vita theater or referred to the end of the steps on the wall (with an angular arrangement).
In the manufacture of piece models, polished stainless steel and wrought elements of the railil are widely used, in the mode of a stage of multilayer glass, porcelain stoneware and quartz agglomerate, built-in backlight.
The height of the spiral staircase can be changed due to the number of steps - it is only important to observe the variety of sizes and correctly calculate the direction of exit from the march.
The price of the domestic harmonized cooker Economy Sonic Stairs - from 45 thousand rubles, European production - 60-180 thousand rubles. Custom oak products are from 120 thousand rubles.
Staircase in the attic
If at the attic houses are equipped with utility rooms, it is advisable to acquire a convenient invisibility staircase, for example, FAKRO or OMAN. A similar design consists of folding or sliding sections and is removed for hermetic heat-insulated hatch, which is embedded in the ceiling. To decompose the attic staircase, only a few seconds will be required: it is enough to open the hatch cover with the help of a special rod, and then pull the lower step. Attic stairs are worth from 18 thousand rubles.
Outdoor approaches simplifies the lifting at a significant steepness of the march, but the main thing - the staircase becomes almost transparent, does not brave space, and it seems that it takes quite a bit of space.

The beams of stairs, that is, the tents and boosters, domestic producers are made mainly of glue wood
Foreign firms are widely used metal products
Beams from glue wood
Traditional stairs with a rotation of 90 ° and the spacious platform are most convenient, but there are a lot of space.
Turn 180 ° in combination with overtakers allows you to save up to 30% of the area or to increase the height of the rise without changing the tilt of the march. True, the savings of space justifies themselves, only if you can successfully enter the staircase in the layout of the room
The staircase on the central modular koser is easy to transport and collect. In addition, you can arrange a turn march
Turn the march can be given the shape of the spiral
The composite beam does not have sufficient rigidity, so the design is reinforced by brackets attached to the wall
Either by hospitals that are located at the base of the racks of fence
The attic stairs are equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism that makes it easier to fold.
The minimum permissible diameter of the screw staircase is considered 100 cm, but the movement becomes convenient only with diameter of more than 120 cm
The main load in the screw construction perceives the central support pillar
