Combined staircases for the home are a successful combination of design solutions and modern technologies. In their appearance and structures, a variety of building materials are combined with competent design principles, which make it possible to communicate unusual characteristics to the structure.
Features of combined structures
The types of such stairs, as well as the materials used, are very diverse.
Things to consider when designing
- Structurally, spiral, straight and curved flights can be combined in one staircase. They can be equipped with steps with a steepness from 30 degrees to 45. It is permissible to vary all these elements in a different sequence.
- One side of the structure can be mounted on a bowstring (wall), and the other can be assembled on bolts.
Note! There are some of the most popular material combinations for stairs. They must be selected during the design process.
- Kosoura are made of wood, metal, or made of reinforced concrete.
- Steps can be made of glass, stone, or mounted in concrete shells.
- You can choose from plastic, metal, glass, wood or railings. Combined railings for stairs made of these materials are also popular.
- Different elements of the staircase can be made simultaneously painted, polished, varnished, as well as subjected to special types of processing.
The combination of different designs, building materials and types of cladding gives designers and architects the maximum degree of creative freedom. This allows homeowners to get unique structures. That have no analogues.
The combined staircase is in harmony with all architectural and artistic environments. But best of all, it is combined with the interior, which is dominated by eclecticism. The widest possibilities for the implementation of a variety of solutions have made combined structures very popular.
At the moment, almost all types of modern modular and small-sized ladders are combined. For their manufacture, various sets of building materials, marches or spiral structures are used.
Basic structural elements
The main element that the combined stairs to the second floor have are steps, the horizontal part of which is called a tread. The side located in the vertical plane is called a riser or riser.
The dimensions of the steps in the design are determined using the angle that the staircase has a rise. The ascent angle is the distance between the height of the riser and the width of the tread.
These elements form a "lifting triangle". It is exactly the same for both straight and curved steps.
Self-construction stairs
Now instructions on how to build a ladder.
- First, determine the location of the structure, in addition - its configuration. The future shape of the structure, first of all, depends on the material of its manufacture and decorative cladding.
Note! Before starting the installation of the ladder, without fail, accurately carry out all the necessary measurements. Otherwise, there may be problems with its assembly.
- It must be taken into account that the design must include the calculation of the geometry of the structure. If the staircase is of a spiral type, then first you need to draw an opening, which is a circle.When a marching analogue is constructed, it is necessary to carry out calculations of an opening that looks like a rectangle, sometimes a square.
- The optimal parameter is the width of the steps used in residential buildings is approximately 40 cm, the level of their height is no more than 25 centimeters.
- The steps of the stairs can be fixed with your own hands on stringers or on fixed bowstrings. Another mounting method is when the steps are cut like the side of a bowstring.
- In the event that the steps need to be fixed on kosoura, then the first stage is the installation of a support pillar. On the bearing beams, places are marked for the location of the steps. Then, using a disc tire, you need to cut recesses in them.
- Then, using self-tapping screws, it is necessary to attach the stringers to the walls. At this stage, you can apply any of the known methods. It is necessary to take into account, in this case, that the walls must necessarily be located near the interfloor staircase.
- When the future staircase will be of a screw type, in this case, it is necessary first of all to install a special bearing support-rack for the entire structure. It is best to use a metal pipe as a stand. It is undesirable to use a tree. So it will be much easier to change individual parts later than to completely disassemble the entire structure.
- After the rack is delivered, you need to put on a bushing made of wood, then a washer made of metal, then mount the steps from the material you have chosen.
- The final stage of the staircase construction is fixing the railings, posts, balusters and other enclosing and decorative elements. Details that serve to decorate the structure add aesthetics to it. However, if your budget is tight, you can choose not to set them. In this case, the price of the stairs will decrease significantly.
- At the very end of the work, as necessary, the stairs are varnished or painted.
Output
Stairs, which combine different building materials, have an excellent texture, complement the interior, and also give the room respectability and solidity. Therefore, more and more homeowners are choosing just this kind of structures.
In the video presented in this article, you will find additional information on this topic.
I didn’t build it myself, I hired workers, so that for sure and for a long time. but it’s somehow dangerous to make the ladder ourselves, suddenly it will not be strong.
