HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPIRAL STAIRCASE FOR MY PROJECT?
Choosing the right spiral staircase for your building project is crucial in order to meet functional, aesthetic and building code requirements. A well planned steel staircase not only ensures optimal use of space, but also increases the value of your property. In this guide, we show you what you should look out for when making your choice.
Determining the area of application
Spiral staircases are versatile and suitable for different areas of application.
First consider where the stairs are to be installed:
o Outdoor area: For balconies or as escape stairs.
o Interior: For homes, offices or industrial areas.
Tip: For external spiral staircases non-slip weather-resistant materials such as hot-dip galvanized steel are ideal.
Choice of materials: Robust and aesthetic
The material of your spiral staircase plays a key role in its appearance, durability and installation:
o Steel: EUROSTAIR uses innovative and high-strength steel which enables a much lighter construction, guarantees durability and enables a modern design.
o Steel with wood or carpet elements: Perfect for integrating warmth and elegance.
Surface treatment for durability and appearance
The correct surface treatment is a decisive factor for the durability and appearance of your spiral staircase. Various options are available depending on the area of application and desired design:
o Powder coating: Protects the stairs from corrosion and offers a wide range of options for individual color design. Ideal for interiors and modern architecture. In urban areas, certain color tones may be specified by regulations.
o Hot-dip galvanizing: A robust protective layer against rust, perfect for external stairs that are exposed to the weather.
Tip: Hot-dip galvanizing is recommended for stairs that are heavily used on a daily basis, as a powder coating will not remain intact in the long term due to wear and tear and could compromise the design.
Space-saving solutions
One of the biggest advantages of spiral staircases is its compact design. Measure the available space carefully to ensure optimum use of room. Especially in small rooms, space-saving steel stairs are the perfect choice.
Design and aesthetics
Your spiral staircase should harmonize with the overall style of the building:
o Minimalist design: Ideal for modern architecture.
o Classic shapes: For traditional or historic buildings.
o Colors: Powder-coated steel can be designed in color.
Safety and regulations
When building a spiral staircase, certain standards must be observed, such as
o Eurocodes: Regulations on gradient, tread and railing height.
o Non-slip step coverings: Particularly important for external stairs.
Budget and costs
The cost of a spiral staircase depends on various factors such as functional, aesthetic and building law requirements. Nevertheless, spiral staircases are usually significantly cheaper than straight staircases. This is due to the more efficient use of materials and resources: spiral staircases require less space, use less material, require less complex infrastructure and are quicker to install.
