Stairs on a metal frame. Features of a design
Long gone are the days when metal stairs were used only in industrial and commercial premises. The stereotypes that metal frames look rough and have no place in the interior of the house have disappeared. Modern ideas about the interior dictate their own trends, and metal stairs have successfully become part of fashionable design solutions. The neat design of this staircase allows you to decorate refined and strict interiors in different styles. Apartment, House, Office, sports complexes and shopping centers, administrative buildings and community centers – everywhere you can find stairs made of metal. It is the variety of their shapes and types that makes them a universal option for any interior. In particular, stairs with a metal frame can be spiral, cantilever, Modular, on metal skewers and on a bowstring.
Spiral staircases differ from others in their compactness, because due to their shape, they take up little space. Such stairs consist of running steps that are attached to a central post. As a rule, the design of spiral staircases does not provide for risers - their presence makes spiral staircases inconvenient in everyday use. Spiral staircases are divided into two more subspecies - round and square. Round spiral stairs have the shape of a circle, the complete set of such stairs includes a fence and a spiral handrail made of PVC or wooden handrail. Square stairs of this type, in turn, have a similar configuration, but are made in the form of a square.
An equally compact option is a cantilever ladder. If you need to save space and choose a modern design, designers offer this type of staircase. Such an ascent to the second floor does not require additional costs for railings and fence installation. However, this is not the cheapest option due to the complexity of installation - the metal frame is sewn into the wall. There is no usual march, string and vertical support. The staircase is open on all sides, which creates the effect of weightlessness. Handrails can be fixed to the wall, but most often they are completely absent. According to designers, installers and builders, the production of stairs in the form of consoles is ergonomic and high – tech. However, due to the lack of railings, this design is less safe, especially if there are children in the house.
Modular stairs are stairs whose frame consists of several modules that are assembled together using bolted connections and are a prefabricated metal structure. The advantages of this design are that you can assemble the ladder yourself, you will save on installation if you have experience working with your hands. In addition, the cost of modular stairs is lower, due to the use of a monostring and the absence of risers.
Stairs on strings consist of steps, strings and handrails. The basis of the structure - string - is an inclined beam, on which steps are laid on top. Installation of this type of staircase begins with fixing the skewers to the floor and wall. After that, the steps themselves, balusters, pillars and railings are attached. Stairs on strings have a universal character and are suitable for installation in all types of premises, in addition, they are characterized by high strength and reliability. And the design of the stairs will attract connoisseurs of stability and respectability.
Similar in appearance to the stairs on strings are ladders on bowstrings. The bowstring is a supporting supporting structure, which is presented in the form of a beam with special cutouts on the inside. Cutouts are designated as grooves or sockets and contain steps. This is not the only method of fastening, but it is considered a classic one. As for the sequence of installation, first of all the threads are adjusted to the floor and ceiling. Then the entire structure is twisted together and already fully assembled is installed in the right place. After that, balusters and handrails are attached and, if necessary, the lower filing of the stairs is carried out. This type of staircase enjoys well-deserved popularity.
Stairs on a metal frame are durable, practical, unpretentious in maintenance and repair, do not creak (with proper manufacture and installation) and fit into any interior.
