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.

To get a jump on your weekend project, paint the stairway ahead of time so it will dry before installing it.

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.

If an internal staircase has to be provided, the same may be constructed, in any room excepting the northeastern room and southwestern room. The steps should be designed in such a way, that they do not touch the eastern wall and a minimum inter space of three inches must be allowed in between the staircase and the wall. The steps should proceed either from north to south; or alongside or away the southern wall from east to west or alongside or away the western wall from north to south and the above inter space principle may be followed in respect of the staircase towards north, to step up from east, to west.

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

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.

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

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.

A manufactured staircase can outstrip the site-built version in price and quality.

With any metal painting job, it's best to prime first, and since a staircase receives much wear and tear, it's also important to choose a quality, durable paint.
