Why spiral staircases are the best solution for secondary escape route in buildings
Safety concepts for buildings present architects with the challenge of finding space-saving and functional solutions that also work reliably in an emergency. Spiral staircases offer decisive advantages, especially as a second escape route, and impress with their intelligent design and versatility.
Compact design with maximum functionality
Spiral staircases are the perfect choice for architects who need a space-saving yet safe escape route solution. Their modern spiral design allows them to be used in confined spaces without compromising stability or load-bearing capacity. They are an ideal solution, particularly in urban environments or buildings with limited space, such as rear courtyards.
Escape spiral staircases - the ideal choice for retirement homes and assisted living facilities
Spiral staircases with an extra-wide passageway are indispensable for facilities such as retirement homes or assisted living centres. They offer enough space to transport rescue stretchers safely and comfortably - even when the patient is lying down. Helpers from the rescue service or patient transport can climb several floors in one go without any obstacles. This saves valuable time and energy in an emergency and can save lives.
In addition, exit landings or balcony systems can be installed for each floor to facilitate access. The complete system can also be retrofitted in rear courtyards or areas that are difficult to access - a flexible solution that adapts to any building structure.
Efficient evacuation and safety
The even distribution of steps around a central support point ensures that people can evacuate quickly and safely using the handrail. Unlike spiral staircases or narrow external staircases, which are often difficult to negotiate, spiral staircases enable smooth evacuation - a decisive advantage in stressful situations.
Comparison with other types of stairs
Straight stairs: Require significantly more space and are unsuitable for use in narrow backyards.
Spiral staircases: Although they save space, they usually do not offer the necessary width for rescue stretchers.
