WHAT IS THE STAIR?

In buildings, the stair is a term applied to a complete flight of steps between two floors. A stair flight is a run of stairs or steps between landings. 

A staircase or stairway is one or more flights of stairs leading from one floor to another, includes landings, newel posts, handrails, balustrades and additional parts.

They may be in a straight run, leading from one floor to another without a turn or change in direction.

The stairs may change direction, commonly by two straight flights connected at a 90-degree angle landing.

They may also return onto themselves with 180-degree angle landings at each end of straight flights forming a vertical stairway. Commonly used in multistory and high-rise buildings.

STAIRCASES IN ARCHITECTURE

Many variations of geometrical stairs may be formed of circular, elliptical and irregular constructions. Staircases are one of the strongest transition elements in architecture.

They are designed to connect two spaces, whether it is interior to exterior or different interior levels.

The positioning of staircases and stairs in a building has always been critical and an important design factor. And it’s becoming ever more significant with modern open plan layouts of houses and office spaces.

A well- made, a beautifully constructed staircase can be an amazing thing to any home. However, you must consider design and functionality before choosing a staircase.

Conversely, nothing is more important than selecting the most appropriate materials for your stairs. And steel builders are there to ensure you don’t get confused in this.

Steel has a lot of benefits, and it’s the most versatile material you could use for your building. Staircases respond to the type of society for which they were built.

They help inform us about the existing state of the arts, fashion, and technology. Over time, they have become trademarks and famous landmarks, and can always provide someone with a constant source of inspiration.

In this modern architectural era, staircases occupy a special position and can often totally overshadow the building, and they are a part of. This is due to the skill at which they have been designed, manufactured and installed.

When looking at certain staircases, you can clearly see the thought process and how far a designer has stretched their human imagination to create something special.
