Spiral staircases are a functional and practical design element to install, able to enhance and give character to the surrounding environment. The ideal choice for those with little space available and a smaller budget. In fact, compared to the classic staircase with a fixed structure, the spiral staircase does not require the support of masonry structures, or other similar devices, as it is a self-supporting secondary structure.
On the market it is possible to find numerous types, with different shapes, finishes and sizes, which is why it is important to rely on professionals in the sector who will be able to advise and guide you towards the best choice according to your needs.
An example of this is Scale di Pira, manufacturers of Made in Italy stairs for over 40 years, able to offer its customers a wide range of custom-made staircases, made with prefabricated concrete modules and easy to assemble. Relying on a manufacturer of prefabricated stairs also means making use of a staff of technicians who can follow the customer in every single step in the design chain.
But how do you choose a spiral staircase? Here are some tips that will help you choose the best spiral staircase for you!
Spiral staircase with a round or square plan?
When it comes to spiral staircases, you can choose between two different shapes: round or square.
The round spiral staircase is the one with the smallest dimensions, it takes up very little space thanks to the small surface of its steps. It can be placed in any corner of the house, even in the narrowest and most angular one.
The square staircase, on the other hand, has a greater width and its steps are more comfortable as their surface is certainly larger than the steps of a round-based spiral staircase. It follows that this type of staircase will need more space for its installation.
The best? There is not! In this case, the choice towards one model at the expense of the other depends substantially on the space you have available and the functionality you want to give it.
Choice of materials: wood, concrete, steel?
It is important to make use of the professionalism of competent and professional architects who can help you not only in the design phase, but also guide you on the best choice of materials to use in the construction of your staircase. Wood, steel, concrete, resin, stoneware… Which one to choose?
– Wooden spiral staircase
Wood is certainly one of the most popular materials. Its positive aspects are many: it is a natural material; it gives warmth and a comfortable appearance to the entire space; There are numerous types of wood, with different colors and streaks, on the market.
– Concrete spiral staircase
Now let’s move on to concrete. Its merit? The grandeur and majesty it gives to the staircase. A concrete spiral staircase certainly stands out. In addition, it easily adapts to the different construction needs and dimensions in which the ladder will have to be inserted.
– Steel spiral staircase
Steel has also become, for several years now, the protagonist inside our homes. A material that loves to be combined with other materials. You can therefore think of creating a staircase with wooden steps and a steel railing, giving a more traditional effect; or use glass for a bolder and more contemporary effect.
The spiral staircase must be designed well! Choosing a spiral staircase means optimizing space and solving design problems related to their layout. For this reason, the professionals of Scale di Pira will always be at your side to guide you and guide you towards the best choice based on your needs. Choosing a spiral staircase does not mean choosing a mere piece of furniture, in some cases it can in fact be considered as a real sculptural element that will enhance the entire surrounding space.
