What are straight stairs? Straight stairs are stairs without any changes in direction. They are certainly one of the most common types of stairs found in both residential and commercial properties. Below are examples of straight floating stairs made with a variety of stringer styles, railing types, and wood species. Advantages of Straight Stairs: • Straight stairs tend to be the easiest to go up and down, or, ascend/descend, as we say in the industry. • They are typically the easiest to build, however, this depends a lot on the level of detail in the design. • Straight stairs only need to be connected at the top and the bottom (no intermediate supporting structure is required). • They work well with minimalist designed homes due to their inherent simplicity. • By selecting thinner treads, open risers, and thin metal stringers, straight stairs can be made more transparent than other types of stairs, allowing less obstruction to the view beyond. • No landing is required if the number of risers is kept under 16 or the overall vertical height is less than 12 feet. • It’s relatively easy to build railings and handrails for straight stairs. • Measuring for railings for straight stairs is simpler than for other stair designs. Disadvantages of Straight Stairs: • Straight stairs use up a fair amount of linear space, which has to be planned for in your design. • Some of the other stair types create a privacy barrier between the floors of your home. Straight stairs do not offer this ...

Seasoned remodelers know the deal: Making one design decision leads to what seems like a million other to-dos. (So you want tile in your kitchen? What color tile? What pattern?

14 Different Types of Staircases Which Type of Staircase is Best? The fundamental aspect found in buildings enabling access comes in different types of staircases designs and tastes. Some are a sight to behold. Others are as basic as their sole use, designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances known as steps. In the ancient days, stairs were made for several reasons, some were to protect the community from attacks made as a form of a burglar alarm. The unexpected change of straight flight stairs from the burglar alarm would deceive the robbers causing them to trip in the darkness alerting the guards. Others were used for sacred rituals such as the Mount Girnar in India, while others were a symbol of royalty. Architects have articulated the art of making masterpieces converting dull houses to lively ones, offices, and museums. One’s taste, space, and financial resources are the determinants to the types of stairs they want. There are more than 14 types of staircases namely the L-shaped-shaped, Winder stairs, Spiral, Spiral case with landing, Circular, Curved, Ladder, Split, Space-saving, Floating stairs, I-Shaped staircase, Stairs with storage, Sculptural floating staircase, Bent metal, Floating stand-alone staircase, Stairs with bookshelves, Concrete, Marble, Carpeted, Organic, Graphical iron, Two-tone spiral, enclosed two-wall, partially open-one wall, Granite, Bifurcated, and Three-quarter turn. We have all experienced the i...

For many of us, walking up and down stairs is a routine part of our day. We may use stairs at work, at entertainment venues, and in our home without thinking twice about how their design and function contribute greatly to life safety in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Recently, I wrote about the details and the importance of handrail design for safe and efficient stair use. Here I will focus on other details of stair design including riser height, tread depth, stair width, stair landings, and construction uniformity that are mandated in order to create a safe path of travel when using the stairs to move throughout the building. These standard stair design details are mandated for egress stairs in the exit access, exits and exit discharge. ( Where you have other than standard stairs such as curved stairs, spiral stairs or winders within a means of egress, consult NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, Chapter 7 for further details on their design.) Construction All stairs serving as required means of egress must be of permanent fixed construction (unless they are stairs serving seating that is designed to be repositioned, such as those in theaters, for example, where seating sections are added, removed, or relocated and it is impractical for stairs associated with that seating to be of fixed, permanent construction). In buildings required by Life Safety Code, to be of Type I or Type II construction , each stair, platform, and landing, not including handrails and existing ...

Duplex Jardim Zaira / Studio 3.7 Arquitetura. Image: © Evelyn Müller Vertical circulation may be just one of the functions of a ladder. Always occupying a reasonable area, this element can serve to bring some other uses when it is thought of in a more integrated way with the entire room, providing living spaces, storage and also a greater aesthetic appeal. That is why we have gathered some ideas on how to occupy the areas around a staircase in different projects: from home to industrial scale. + 14 © Haiting Sun Stairs are often an inevitable part of a building's DNA. Nowadays, staircases not only serve the function of practicality but are also a showcase of their own kind, especially if paired with a color that is guaranteed to grab attention. Among warm colors, red is considered to be the most powerful one. On one hand, it evokes feelings of joy and energy, and on the other, feelings of alertness and danger. + 49 Twisting Wooden Staircase Prototype / ACME. Image © Ed Reeve Stairs in architecture are oftentimes a design focal point- the heavyhandedness in creating something that moves us from one level to the next, up and down repeatedly, something so simple and familiar with a twist is what makes the experience of traversing a stair so unique. Our obsession with stairs and the level of illusion that they create in architecture perhaps stems from the way that they’re able to twist the optics and perceptions of space. We understand that they transport us in one direction o...

Here’s our stair dimensions guide including the measurements of a straight-run designs and other different types of stairs & railing sizes. When building a home with multiple floors, it is integral to know proper stair dimensions. This knowledge will ensure that everyone can have the safest way possible as they transcend and descend the stairs. Below, we provide you with the basic dimensions to consider when planning your staircase. Table of Contents • • • • • • • • • Standard Stair Dimensions Straight-run stairs are the standard stair type you usually see in regular and traditional residential homes. They are the easiest to build and also the easiest to climb up and down in. Standard straight-run stairs have dimensions of a stair width of 36 inches or 91.4 centimeters, a stair tread depth of 11 inches or 28 centimeters, a stair riser size of 7 inches or 18 centimeters, and a length from the bottom to the top of the stairs of 10 feet or 3 meters. Stair Width Dimensions Stair width is the length of a stair from side to side. The International Residential Code and other local building codes have a standard, and this standard is usually 3 feet or 36 inches wide or wider. This size does not include the handrails. The best thing about this is, more often than not, these dimensions are flexible, so if you meet the minimum feet, you can go however wide you want your stairs to be, depending on the size of your house, your budget, or your needs. Stair Tread Dimensions The stair tre...

The enduring decorating concept of lights and darks strikes an elegant balance with this staircase design idea. The crisp white-painted base pairs expertly with the deep brown wood treads and hand railing. If this combo suits your taste, choose a paint that promises a hard, scuff-free surface and use a durable clear finish over the wood stain. This statement-making staircase wraps around one end of this light-filled home. The staircase's open construction emphasizes the home's open floor plan. Its simple design doesn't draw attention away from the soaring ceilings and plentiful windows. The dark wood risers and railings lend a hint of contrast.
