Staircases
Staircases form the primary link between differing levels of floors,
platforms and walkways.
It is vitally important that adequate consideration is given to
design characteristics such as 'rise' and 'go'. This will be governed
by suitability for purpose. anticipated frequency and volume of
use. As with platforms, stairs may be fitted with solid or open
type treads. Risers may be closed but are more usually open for
industrial applications.
With using the latest technology and years of experience, EPSL
seek to relieve the customer of many design related problems and
welcome the opportunity to help.
Spiral and Helical Staircases
This type of staircase has many applications in residential, commercial
and industrial situations.
However, whilst the spiral is economical on floor area required,
it is more hazardous to the user.
The design of spiral staircases is usually based on a central
column and vary in diameter to suit frequency and volume of usage.
Wider stairs are far safer and some authorities stipulate minimum
requirements. Care must also be exercised in checking for adequate
headroom.
Helical staircases are more user friendly than spirals and are
generally suited to much larger volumes of pedestrian traffic.
Spiral and Helical staircases and architectural metalwork in general
create a particularly demanding set of challenges. With EPSL experience,
these demands and problems can be kept to a minimum. |
