Staircase design

In most situations, a staircase is an integral part of the home's design and style. Stairs may be steep or gradual, narrow or wide, purely functional or grand and showy. Some are built in place by woodworkers, finish carpenters or stairmakers; others are factory manufactured, shipped to a building site and installed by carpenters.
A stair's design is heavily affected by its function. An entry stairway that handles all up-and-down foot traffic and is placed in a highly-visible location is bound to be much more grand than a stairway to a hardly-ever-used basement or where economy is imperative.
Because they are relatively economical and take up minimal space, spiral stairs are popular where access is needed to newly-remodeled basements or attics or added spaces away from the home's central staircase core. Contemporary trends dominate 70 per cent of the staircase market, blending timber, glass and fabricated steel.

Tips for designing staircases

Stairs are built according to basic rules and principles intended to make them safe to use. These rules, governed by building codes, stipulate the permissible heights of risers, depth and width of treads and construction, placement of handrails and similar concerns.

Things to consider include matching your staircase to the style of home, your storage needs, natural light (staircases can be dark so strategically position windows), matching your floor with your stairs, safety (differ surfaces on entering and exiting so your body visualises and feels the change).

Spreadsheet calculates rise and run for stair stringers. If you've ever cut a stair stringer you know what a pain it is. There are multiple measurements and dimensions to consider. It's not really all that complicated, it's just a pain. And if you decide you want to change the number of treads in your design you have to calculate everything all over again.
There are hand-held construction calculators for this, but they cost much more, don't show you a picture, don't figure out and correct for upperdeck overhang, and you usually can't print out the final design. For less than the price of a ruined 2x12 you can save yourself several hours of 'head scratching' and drawing on graph paper and get it right the first time with this specialty spreadsheet for stair building and basic wood stairs, such as basement stairs and deck stairs.
I've been using MS Excel every day for the last couple of decades, and so for my last set of stringers I decided it was time to get the computer to do all the work. That way, it would be possible to try out a number of settings and see how the staircase looked before finalizing the design. I spent several days and put it in a spreadsheet. It made the job much easier. I tried a few staircase designs, picked one, and cut my stringers. It worked like a champ.

It's a problem most homes have - where to store those seasonal toys, those might-be-used-again one day treasures. The answer is very simple - fold away stairs can create an attic in that vast storage area between your ceiling and your roof.

Even where there is a low pitched roof there is room for an attic for storage. Many homes with higher pitched roofs have the space for a sizeable attic, a study, a guest or child's bedroom! Sellwood Attic stairs are easy to install and easy to use. They come fully assembled in their own frame, and require no pre assembly.
