If you find that a bespoke staircase is too expensive, the alternative solution is to get an off the rack product or a ready to use staircase in kit form, the difficulty with this option is that it's a challenge to find yourself a staircase that fits correctly into your property layout, and obviously a staircase has got to fit snugly within the space available, to be both safe and aesthetically pleasing.

Brief Guide to Staircase Terms

Tread - The tread is the flat element of a stair step that a person walks on when climbing up or coming down the stairs, it has a thickness similar to that of a floorboard. A tread and a riser combined constitutes one step.

Staircase Installation Wem ShropshireRiser - The riser is the upright space between one step and the next, it could be open or closed. Collectively, a tread and a riser comprises one step.

String, Stringer or Stringer Board - The stringer is the sloping section to which the treads and risers are fitted which transfer the loads of the stair onto the structure. A staircase will generally have two stringers, one at either side of the steps, a wide stairway might also have a 3rd stringer in the centre for more strength. Staircase stringers could be cut or closed, cut stringers will have the uppermost edges notched out to match the shape of the treads and risers and reveal their profile if seen from the side.

Going - The going of a staircase step is the horizontal distance between the front edge of one tread nosing to the front edge of the next tread nosing. This would be the distance someone travels onwards with each step up the stairs. The minimum "going" is 220 millimetres for private homes in the British Isles. The going of the entire staircase is the overall distance the staircase travels along the floor and it's determined by the measurement from the face of the top riser to the face of the bottom riser.

Balustrade - A balustrade is the whole handrail system that separates and encloses individual areas of the staircase and prevents anybody falling off the edge. The balustrade can be on either or on each side of a stairway and can be made up of a combination of balusters or spindles, caps, newels, panels, baserails, handrails and possibly other ornate elements.

Spindle or Baluster - The balusters or spindles are the vertical posts that join the handrail to the baserail and fill up the gap in between, balusters transfer any load from the handrail to the main structure of the staircase and constrain the openings between. Within Great Britain, building regulations states that a sphere 100mm across should be unable to pass through the space between 2 balusters, so children cannot pass through them.

Newel - A newel is a stout structural post or baluster that is employed to firmly anchor the handrail to the floor or to the rest of the staircase. Newels are positioned at the bottom and top of stairs and at points where the staircase direction changes.

Spiral Staircases Wem Shropshire - What is a Spiral Staircase?: A spiral staircase is a stairway that turns round a central column, support or newel which goes from floor to ceiling, with a handrail on one side and with the treads connected to the column on the other side.

But, there are down sides, spiral staircases are more difficult to ascend and will likely be exceptionally challenging for older or disabled people, they're equally hopeless if you ever have to transport furniture or anything of any size, up or down them.
