Building a house and a staircase in it
It is obvious that, building a house one floor above, one can not help but wonder how these stories are connected with each other. Design a ladder must begin at once to the design of the entire structure. The main function of the stairs – for communications between different levels of free and safe movement up and down, but no less important to consider that the ladder is still one of the key elements of an interior room on it heavily depends on the design of the house. Therefore, if the delay of its design to the last moment, may have difficulty with “fitting in” in its overall style. That’s the style of the interior, as well as floor space, depends on the choice of type, size, configuration steps and, of course, the material for its manufacture.
The materials from which ladders are manufactured in their own homes, is of considerable diversity. It may be wood, metal, stone (natural and artificial), glass, ceramics and various combinations of these materials. In alliance with the latest building technologies and original design ideas, they allow you to create a ladder that meets the highest requirements and expectations.
Perhaps the most often as a material for the manufacture of wood stairs is used. Moreover, a variety of breeds – from hard to soft, from the usual pine and birch trees to the most exotic. Tribute to the tradition, or pay tribute to the many advantages of wood, such as environmental friendliness, ease of construction and relatively low cost? The reasons all his own. The interior of the house with elements of wood creates a cozy and comfortable housing, making it a warm and homely. The texture of the tree is so beautiful in itself, that any additional needs no decorations, wooden stairways often left in its natural form, unpainted. But, nevertheless, we can not focus on one essential lack of wooden stairs. Creaking steps – it’s just about them. Although stair use only plywood, much less subject to deformation and cracking, however, the stairs of wood require constant monitoring and care. They should be promptly processed by special means, varnish, paint. And in the room to maintain optimum temperature and humidity of 60-70%. If you do not, the tree starts to crack and creak stage.
Stairs made of stone in their own homes do not so often, rather, it is the prerogative of the building quite a different type. But, nevertheless, in elite houses a large area such steps are appropriate. This is especially true outside of stairs (steps). The unique texture and pattern gives the building a special stone, a respectable and elegant look. Cool colors give the interior severity, warm – will add life and a sense of closeness to nature. The material is distinguished by high strength and wear resistance, often used for lining the granite and marble. It is for the cladding. The whole structure of stone almost do not, the supporting structure using reinforced concrete, less metal. By the way, natural stone more often successfully replace artificial. He is also handsome and durable, but less expensive.
Stairs made of metal – is not only worthy of decoration, but also a very profitable investment. Metal stairs will last so long that many decades later, it may be the only thing that remained of the house. Usually, in order to facilitate the design, the manufacture of ladders use a combination of different materials. Metal – wood, metal – glass, metal – rock, metal – ceramic. The combination can be chosen completely at any design. For example, a combination of metal and wood interior to fit in a classic style, country style or modern, metal and glass – it’s hi-tech. If the ladder is used for the manufacture of metal profile, and the process of manufacture and installation of stairs takes relatively little time. This is one of the strengths of metal ladders. If the ladder is made of wrought metal, then it can be called a real piece of art as well as ductility of the metal allows you to create something quite unusual and highly artistic. But the time for it required much more. And it will cost more.
The most original, stylish and modern type of staircase – a staircase made of glass and metal. Light, airy, weightless and graceful – that’s what comes to mind when one sees such a structure. The supporting structure of metal and glass steps – option for the most technocratic interior. Glass for safety is only laminated, high strength. The cost of this ladder is very high regardless of the embodiment. Costly to do the glass steps, which are manufactured to the highest technology by multilayer bonding. To make these steps for the safe movement, they are put through an abrasive increasing the friction coefficient of the band, made rubber inserts are placed or carpeting.
Time to design a staircase, to think through all the smallest details and to embody the idea of ??life – of course, it is best to cope with these professionals. In this case, the owner will only have to express their preferences and control the process. Stairs – so important an element of interior of the house, or that the rush to fulfill its unprofessional, poorly can not in any way. After all steps to be for many years to perform two important functions – to ensure the safety of movement around the house and decorate it!
