Ladders
A staircase is an element designed
to communicate spaces located at different heights. It is made up of steps or
steps and may or may not have several sections separated by landings or
landings. The stairs can be fixed or transportable, mobile. The latter are
used, in general, to work or carry out some specific activity.
To avoid falls, a ladder must be
climbed, if possible, maintaining a gentle rhythm and its slope must be
constant. This means that the relationship between the depth of its steps,
called the tread, and their height, called the riser, must be constant. A ladder
that is too high but with little space for the length of the foot can be very
difficult and even dangerous to go up or down, while a ladder with a lot of
horizontal space, but little vertical, is a bit tedious when used.
A good rule of thumb for the design
of a stair is that the average length of a step, each step, is between 59 and
68 cm long (figure that arises from the sum of the depth of the tread, plus
twice the height of the riser), and that these are always the same on the same
flight of stairs to avoid stumbling. Another issue is that, if possible, do not
exceed 16 steps in each section.
Types
of stairs
With the same objective but
different designs, there are several options and types of stairs.
- Among the fixed ones, we find:
* Staircase of a section: the one
that does not have breaks or turns.
* Staircase with landings or more
than one section: one whose sections are separated by landings.
* Roundtrip staircase: the one that
has its sections in two opposite directions.
* Square staircase: it has equal
sections on four sides, already square.
* Spiral or spiral staircase: the
one that is built with sections of ascending circular shape.
* Imperial staircase: it has one leg
and two narrower back sections, lateral and parallel to the first.
* Stairway: a wide staircase,
generally theatrical, artistic or monumental.
- Transportable ladders can be:
* Ladder: the traditional, portable
one that we use at home for maintenance tasks.
* Chapera ladder: the one used by
electricians or in construction works and which is made up of two inclined and
parallel timbers on which some more or less wide crossbars are nailed.
* It should be ensured that at its
ends some non-slip material has rubber.
* Stepladder or double: the one
composed of two ladders joined at the top with hinges.
* Rope ladder: formed by two
parallel ropes or ropes joined by several wooden or iron crossbars or bars in
the form of steps.
* Most used in the field or rural
areas.
* Scapular Ladder - A portable
ladder used by miners on the wall of mine shafts.
Currently, and for a long time,
there are also escalators or escalators generally used in public or commercial
premises or institutions. In this case, its steps are mobile thanks to an
electrical mechanism.
Designs
and materials for stairs
The perfect ladder for each one will
depend… on each one! Since in terms of designs and materials there are multiple
options from which to choose and everything will depend on the budget,
structural possibilities, style and personal taste. Consulting an interior
architect can be useful and even recommended, sometimes, since he can advise on
structural issues, especially.
The design and style will depend on
the place where it will be located and the general style of the environment and
the house. As for materials, they can be made in the classic and traditional
such as wood, concrete, stone, different metals or even the most innovative or
original such as glass, ceramics or a combination of several. It is advisable
to avoid very slippery materials or, if they are used, treat them with an
anti-slip product.
The use or placement of a railing or
handrail is, of course, optional but also recommended if the design allows it.
Lighting
on the stairs
It is very important to have good
lighting on the stairs, not only for a decorative issue but, above all, for a
safety issue. It is important to see well the steps where one steps so as not
to stumble and fall. And this does not imply that there must be a light on
permanently but the possibility of turning it on when it is used. Currently
there are creative and aesthetic designs with light on the steps or on the
railing.
Decoration
for stairs
Decorators and interior designers
can help you find your own decoration for that staircase that you already have
or that you are going to build. The lighting always helps and is in itself a
decorative element: you can hang, for example, some Christmas-like lights on
the railing or hook them to the wall. You can play with the colors and paint it
in a color that goes with the rest of the decoration. Or that the color and the
intervention are in the part where the ladder rests and not in the ladder
itself. There you can hang pictures, mirrors, photos or whatever your
imagination allows. I toured Interior A to Z! You will surely find inspiration
to make your staircase the perfect staircase.
