Latest "part staircase" Information

Staircase is necessary to reach the terrace or the first floor of the house. It has to be constructed depending on the vacant space in and around the house, and the face of the house.

If a linear staircase, is designed either in side or outside, steps should proceed either from east to west or from north to south initially and can turn towards any direction thereafter.

staircase: A series, or flight, of steps between two floors. Traditionally staircase is a term for stairs accompanied by walls, but contemporary usage includes the stairs alone. The origin of the staircase is uncertain. On the road up Tai Shan (mountain) in China there are many great flights of ancient granite steps.

Built in the 1800s, the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico houses one of this country's most miraculous achievements, a spiral staircase built without nails or visible support and surrounded in mystery. As the story goes, the nuns and choir students built a singing platform nearly 50 feet above the floor in the back of the chapel. A straight up dangerous ladder was used for access. One day a stranger arrived to worship in the chapel and suggested he could build a safe stairway to prevent injury or death to the nuns and the choir. He proceeded to build this most magnificent wooden spiral staircase over a weekend. Upon completion, he vanished without discussion and without seeking to be paid. The staircase is an engineering marvel as no one can figure out how it was built or why it didn't fall under use. The staircase was used regularly for over 100 years until closed down recently. Historical photos show nearly 50 choir boys on the staircase at one time, an amazing image considering engineers believe even one person climbing it should cause its collapse as built. Not only are there no visible signs of fasteners or nails of any type, the wood used is of unknown variety and origin. If you ever have the chance, do visit the Loretto Chapel and witness an engineering miracle that is one of the most magnificent "man" built works of wood art in the world.

When you are putting in a spiral stairway, you need to consider where you want to enter the stairway and where you want to end up when you get to the top. There is no right or wrong answer -- it is just a matter of preference.

Choosing the right stair parts for your stairway will make the job of your installer much simpler. StairSupplies.com suggests that you contact your stair installer prior to purchasing your stair parts. Your installer will help you select the stair fittings that he/she is accustomed to using

Whether entry hall or back stairs, there is no reason why they should not resonate with color and a warm welcome to all who tread upon them. Rather than carpeting, which is usually confined to a neutral color scheme that is not readily changed, consider a wonderful painted pattern.

Any staircase with three or more steps should have a handrail going all the way up the open side. A good height for the handrail on a stairway is about thirty-four inches. For balconies, the suggested height is at least thirty-six inches. The balusters should be no more than four inches apart. Be sure the rails are secure and sturdy. If you discover your rails are loose, use long nails or screws to tighten the baluster.

It's aesthetically better to look through a stairway from the main part of the room, than to look directly up the stairway.
