The shape of the stairs can be straight, rotary, spiral, have winder steps or platforms between flights. But perhaps the most common is the L-shaped staircase. Its use will provide a comfortable climb, and if there are winder steps on the intermediate platform, it will help save space. To work without the involvement of professionals, you should familiarize yourself with how to correctly calculate and make an L-shaped staircase with your own hands.
Types of L-shaped stairs
This staircase got its name due to the fact that in the top view it resembles the letter “L” in its rotation.
According to the material, it can be completely varied design. It is possible to use wood, metal, glass, marble, tiles, stone, concrete, laminate, etc. The staircase can be made either entirely from one material or combined. And the space formed under the staircase often serves as storage space or a small library.
Such a staircase may have an intermediate platform with or without winder steps. Pouring concrete over formwork, wooden or metal stringers or bowstring.
Preparatory work
At this stage it is worth deciding on the placement of the stairs, materials and shape.
To calculate the steps, you will need the parameters of the room in which the staircase will be located, namely its height and projection of the staircase onto the floor of the lower floor, opening parameters.
We decide on the width of the stairs. It is best to do it at least 90 centimeters. To calculate the number of steps, you need to determine their height parameter. The most comfortable size would be a step with a riser equal to 20-25 centimeters, with a tread width of 30-40 centimeters. You can select the parameters of the steps using the given numbers, or try using special formulas:
- convenience formula: e - j = 12 cm;
- safety formula: e + j = 46 cm.
- step formula: 2 j + e = 62 (60-64) cm;
Where e is the tread size and j is the riser size.
When designing a staircase with winder steps, it is necessary to take into account that the tread in the narrowest part should be at least 10 centimeters, and the size in the middle should be the same for all steps on this platform and at least 20 centimeters.
If the edges of the tread protrude beyond load-bearing structure stairs, then this value should be no more than four centimeters.
Compliance with these requirements will ensure not only comfortable, but also safe movement along the stairs.
To correctly calculate the tapering steps, you need to make a plan drawing. We mark a line on it that will divide the intermediate area diagonally. Let's call it AC. Moreover, point A should be located in the center of the rounding radius. There are two options for the arrangement of steps on the site: an even number and an odd number. This will affect which parts of the steps are on the center line of the turning radius. Thus, a straight AC can divide a step in half or be located on the adjacent side of two steps. When marking the number of winder steps, you should make sure that its middle part corresponds to a comfortable tread width, let’s call it b. To understand how many winder steps our staircase will have, we extend the edge of step 4 in such a way as to obtain line EB, and place point B at the intersection of this line with line AC. Next, we extend the AC line to an arbitrary distance and place point D. We divide the resulting segment into parts, the number of which corresponds to the required number of steps. The division must occur in such a way that it meets the requirements: segment A2 is equal to two parts, segment 23 is equal to three, and segment 34 is equal to four. One part is taken to be a segment of arbitrary length, which will be equal to one conventional unit.
After this, you need to connect point 4 to point B. From points 2 and 3 we draw a line, crossing AB. They must be parallel to line 4B. The points obtained on section AB are connected on line AC with points 3 and 2. The resulting lines will help determine the number and shape of steps.
The calculation, provided that the AC line divides the stage in half, is performed in a similar way.
Installation
Let's consider the process of installing a rotary L-shaped staircase on stringers.
Stages of work:
- Calculate the steps. Using the obtained figures, it is necessary to calculate the length of both stringers. One of them is mounted on the wall, and the second on a support pole, the height of which is also determined for each case.
- Beams with a cross-section of 10x10 centimeters are suitable for a support column, and boards of 5x30 centimeters are suitable for stringers. The material for the steps is selected based on calculations.
- A template is prepared in the form of a right triangle with legs corresponding to the dimensions of the tread and riser. The template is cut out of plywood, to which two wooden blocks are nailed.
- Using the template, mark the steps on the stringer. Then, using a circular plate, the excess is cut out.
The width of the narrowest part of the stringer should not be less than 15 centimeters.
- A groove is made on the block intended for mounting the support post in order to then install the stringer into it.
- The base for the winder steps is installed - supporting structure, which bursts the wall stringer.
- The upper part of the stringer is secured metal corners to the hole in the ceiling. It is important to ensure that the installation is parallel so that when installing the steps you get an even structure.
- For the manufacture of winder steps they use rectangular board with parameters 90x90x4 centimeters, provided that the width of the march is 90 centimeters. If the march has a different width, the board must be taken of the appropriate size.
- Provided that there are three winder steps, you can divide the board into equal parts coming out from one corner. After this they are adjusted to length.
- We coat the steps with three layers of varnish.
- The steps are secured with long self-tapping screws using liquid nails or recess their heads, sealing the resulting holes with wooden plugs.
- The fastening of the winder steps is slightly different. Before installing them, grooves are made in support pillar, slightly smaller in height than the thickness of the board. This is done to ensure even more reliable fixation of the steps with inside. They are attached to the cut using PVA glue, which is mixed with sawdust to better installation. WITH outside The steps are attached to the supporting frame with long self-tapping screws.
- To hide the corners of the winder steps, you can mount bottom part flight of stairs on a bowstring.
- The lower part of the bowstring is cut at a right angle to the floor so that it is possible to mount the entrance pillar.
- Next they move on to the installation of balusters. They can be attached to self-tapping screws from the bottom side through the tread. But more in a reliable way installation will be using wooden cylindrical rods - dowels.
- The hole for installing the dowels is drilled in advance, with a diameter slightly smaller than the size of the rod. Glue is used for fastening.
- A hole is made in the baluster according to the same principle, placing it in the center.
The holes must be made vertically to ensure a secure and level mounting.
- To install the balusters evenly for mounting the handrail, you need to stretch the rope from the first to the last post. All balusters are cut according to the resulting angle.
- The handrail is fastened to the self-tapping screws, immersing the heads in solid wood. The resulting places are hidden with putty.
It is possible to install steps without risers, but in this case, to strengthen the structure, supports are used for the lower turning step. It will relieve the load acting along the fibers.
Quite often, owners of private estates or two-level apartments have to deal with the problem of insufficient space. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure convenient descent and ascent to the second floor, on the other hand, the need to allocate a significant part of the first floor under the staircase is clearly not a good decision. The solution may be an option with winder steps.
Staircase with a turn
The essence of the design is that instead of one straight flight, two or three are installed, offset relative to each other by an angle of 90 or 180 degrees. Depending on the angle, there are three types.
- Quarter turn - the angle is 90 degrees. Typically, a wooden staircase is mounted along adjacent walls, in the corner of the room. The photo shows an option with a 90 degree rotation.
- Half-turn - the angle of rotation is 180 degrees. In this case, one flight is mounted near the load-bearing wall. The photo shows a turn with winder steps.
- Circular - the rotation is 360 degrees. Marching design in this case, it is implemented extremely rarely - the occupied area is huge, and the height of the second floor is usually not so large. But the screw one is quite suitable for implementation.
This turn itself can be done in two ways.
- Landing - a landing is installed between two flights. In this case, the subsequent march is shifted relative to the previous one by 90 or 180 degrees.
- Winder steps - this method provides a smooth bend without intermediate platforms, but is somewhat inferior to the first option in terms of convenience.
Advantages and disadvantages
Winder steps are wedge-shaped plates with different widths at two edges. The dimensions can be varied subject to two mandatory values: the width of the step in the middle part cannot be less than 20 cm, and in the narrowest part - no less than 10 cm. This is due to the peculiarities of the ascent: one foot of the walker ends up on a wider area and receives sufficient area for supports. The second foot finds itself in too narrow an area and does not receive sufficient support. Actually, this is their biggest drawback: it is inconvenient to rise and fall, since there is a danger of the foot slipping. If the step is less than the specified parameters, the staircase will be unsuitable for walking.
Partially, the risk of slipping is solved by the chosen material – wood. Wooden steps have a less smooth surface than stone or glass, and provide relative safety of movement.
The second disadvantage is the relative complexity of the design, and, accordingly, the complexity of the calculations. The drawing shows an example of calculating the width of steps for an option with a rotation of 180 degrees.
This solution also has advantages: the design with smooth rotation takes even less area than a turning straight line (with an opening width of no more than 1500 cm), it can be erected both near the wall and in the center of the room.
Design Features
In the very simple version the staircase is a combination of two straight flights with a number of wedge-shaped steps in its turning part. Obviously, the turning part and straight sections are calculated differently, but it is absolutely necessary that the final design contains both fragments. The drawing shows a diagram of a wooden staircase with a rotation angle of 90 degrees.
The stumbling point quite often is the middle step of the turn, the one that rests on the right angle between the walls. The step can be made in two versions.
- The first is that the middle part of the step is adjacent to the corner of rotation so that the edges of the step in its widest part rest against the perpendicular walls of the staircase opening. In this case, the step has a rather complex shape. The photo shows the view of the step.
- The second is that the edge of the upper step is adjacent to the corner between the walls. In this case, the previous step rests against one wall, and the next one rests against it perpendicular to it. The shapes of the steps do not differ from each other.
The inconvenience of moving along wedge-shaped steps can be reduced by using special way calculation. It allows you to proportionally widen the ends of the winders due to straight steps. This complicates the design of the staircase, but it ensures a uniform change in steps, and therefore convenience when ascending and descending. The drawing shows a fragment of a graphical calculation with proportional expansion.
A wooden turning staircase with winder steps is one of the most difficult projects to manufacture. A novice master who has managed to implement it has every reason to be proud.
If, when building a new house, you are thinking about what type of staircase structure to prefer to connect floors, then you should pay attention to such an option as a staircase with winder steps.
Winders are steps located in a circle, continuously. One of their ends, the one located on the inside, is narrower than the outside. When turning the stairs, they are used instead of an intermediate platform. There are two types of stairs with winder steps:
- U-shaped - such stairs rotate 180°;
- L-shaped - such stairs rotate 90°.
Winder steps have a number of advantages, for example:
- occupy less space than marching ones;
- visually make the room wider;
- have an aesthetic appearance.
Their disadvantages include the following features:
- the narrow edge of a step when climbing stairs causes psychological discomfort. It seems like there is nowhere to put your foot;
- such stairs have quite complex design and therefore it is difficult for them to make calculations;
- not as comfortable to use as stairs with platforms;
- The design of such a ladder must be approached with the utmost care and responsibility, because if it is not designed correctly, the risk of falling and serious injury will increase.
What you need to consider to make the design as safe as possible
To eliminate possible troubles from the shortcomings of winder steps, the staircase must be designed correctly, taking into account the following nuances when calculating it:
- the depth of the outer edge of the step should be no more than 400 mm, and the inner edge should be no less than 100 mm;
- the middle of each step must be at least 200 mm deep;
- in height, each step can occupy from 120 to 220 mm;
- the maximum protrusion of the edge of the tread should be 40 mm;
- When calculating an L-shaped staircase, the following formulas must be observed:
- for comfortable use - a (step depth) - b (riser height) = 120 mm;
- for maximum safety – a + b = 460 mm;
- pitch formula - 2b + a = 620 (600-640) mm.
- when building a U-shaped staircase, the space between the steps should not be less than a quarter of the width of the steps. Otherwise, the winder steps from the inner edge will be too narrow;
- the gap between the ceiling and the flight of stairs must be at least 2 m.
How to calculate a winder ladder
To make a calculation for a U-shaped structure, you need to proceed as follows:
- mark the center of the bend coinciding with the radius of the inner side of the stairs;
- calculate quantity winder steps: the more of them there are, the more comfortable you can use the stairs;
- winder steps, photos of which are given below, from the first to the seventh inclusive. Through the next, eighth step, or rather through its beginning, the line DE is drawn. Straight AB divides the staircase into two sides - right and left. The middle of the march should be marked with a curve ac, which corresponds to the line of movement;
- On the line indicating movement, from AB we set aside a section equal to half the width of an ordinary step. Thus, we find point 1. From it we draw a segment equal to the width of the step and mark point 2. Using the same principle, we find the remaining points from the 3rd to the 7th;
- through points 1 and A we draw a line intersecting with DE. We draw another line through 2 and A. On line DE we mark points 1 and 2;
- on line DE we measure intervals of the same length as 1-2 and designate them with numbers from 3 to 7;
- then we connect point number 3, located on line AC, to point number 3, located on line DE. We do the same with points 4,5,6,7;
- the same calculations are made regarding the other half of the staircase with winder steps.
For an L-shaped structure, as in the case described above, find point A and draw a straight line AC. There are two ways to arrange the steps:
- line AC divides the corner step into two equal parts;
- line AC coincides with the line of the junction of two corner steps.
If the second option is chosen, then the same as in the case described above, the line of movement ac is indicated. On the curved segment, lines b are indicated, equal to the width of ordinary steps. The number of turning steps is determined. If these are steps numbered 1,2,3,4, as in the figure above, then a straight line EB is drawn through the end line of the 4th step. Point B here marks the intersection of EB and CA. After this, straight line AD is drawn arbitrarily. Points 2,3,4 are marked on it, while segment A-2 should be two parts, 2-3 – three parts, 3-4 – four parts. One part in this case is a segment equal to 1 of any conventional unit, for example a centimeter or decimeter.
Next we draw line 4B. From points 2 and 3 we draw lines intersecting AB, parallel to segment B4. The points obtained on the segment AB are connected by a straight line to the corresponding points on ac. These lines determine the shape of the turning steps.
If the AC line divides the corner step into two equal parts, the winder steps are calculated in a similar way.
Tools and materials needed to make stairs
For self-made stairs need to stock up on wood good quality. Certainly, best choice is dark oak, but it is very expensive. Maple is also excellent for this purpose - its cost is much less, and you can find it in the right quantity won't be difficult.
In addition to the tree, you should prepare:
- electric jigsaw;
- drill;
- fasteners;
- screwdriver;
- hammer;
- roulette.
DIY staircase with winder steps
Let us consider the sequence of manufacturing a winder staircase using the example of an L-shaped structure with an opening length of 2 m 29.4 cm, a width of 93 cm, and a ceiling height of 2 m 68 cm.
The turning staircase has two flights: one of eight steps, the last of which coincides with the landing of the upper floor, and the other of two. There are three winder steps, with a rotation angle of 30°.
For a turning staircase made of wood, it is necessary to create two stringers 5x30x300 cm. One of them is fixed on the wall, and the second rests on a pole measuring 10x10x250 cm. You will also need steps 90x30x4 cm, a turntable 90x90x4 cm, from which the turning steps and balusters will be made.
The process of creating a winder staircase of this design is carried out in several stages:
- production of stringers;
- production of winder steps;
- assembly of staircase structure;
- installation of railings.
Consider each stage in detail. The sequence of making stringers is as follows:
- We make a template in the form of a right triangle. Its legs should be equal to the height and depth of the step. To make the template convenient to use, you need to attach it to the guide rail. Using it, we mark the future stringer and cut it out using circular saw. At the same time, we must not forget that the thinnest part of the stringer should be at least 150 mm in width;
- we install a pillar for support, having previously hollowed out a groove in it into which the stringer will be inserted;
- in the corner we mount the base for the turning steps, which will also expand the stringer located near the wall;
- We attach the stringers on the top side with metal corners.
The general view of the structure after securing the stringers should be like this:
When installing stringers, you must ensure that they are strictly opposite each other, otherwise the steps will not lie strictly horizontally. In this case, you need to focus not on the floor surface, because... it may not be level, but at the building level.
Now we move on to the second stage of making the stairs - cutting out the winder steps:
- To turn the stairs 90° you will need 3 steps. We cut them out of a board 90x90x4 cm. To do this, we divide it with lines coming from one corner into three sectors;
- Having cut out the steps along the lines, we adjust their length to each other;
- Next we varnish all the steps. Apply the varnish in three layers.
At the next stage, we assemble the staircase structure:
- To secure the rotary steps in the column, we cut out grooves, the width of which should be slightly less than the thickness of the board. This is necessary in order to securely fix the steps from the inner edge of the stairs;
- so that the steps from the side of the wall can be placed on the base, we modify it with pieces of wood;
- we insert the inner sides of the winder steps into the prepared cuts, having previously coated them with PVA glue, and attach the outer sides with self-tapping screws to the base;
- We fix ordinary steps with long self-tapping screws;
- to hide the protruding corner of the turning step, flight of stairs located below, we make it on the bowstring;
- We cut the edge of the bowstring at an angle of 90° to the floor to make it possible to install the entrance pillar.
The next stage is the installation of the railings. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- installing balusters. They can be attached to the steps with self-tapping screws, but if you use dowels, the structure will be much more reliable. We make a hole in the baluster and in the steps, slightly smaller than the dowel, and fill it with PVA. The holes must be drilled with maximum precision, strictly vertically and in the center of the balusters so that they take the correct position;
- We stretch a cord between the first and last pillars, and along it on each baluster we mark the angle at which the railing will be located. Then, focusing on the markings, we cut off the tops of the racks. Now the balusters are ready for the installation of handrails;
- We secure the handrails with countersunk self-tapping screws.
If there is not enough space in the living room, finding a place to place the stairs can be a lot of trouble. And the decision this issue can become wooden stairs with winder steps. Such designs do not lose their practicality in operation and significantly save precious square meters. But before you begin installation work, you should know about important nuances described in this article.
Shape and types of stairs
First you need to decide on the design - the shape of the frame of the future staircase:
If necessary, all three options can be combined based on the layout of the room, the shape of the staircase and the presence of adjacent load-bearing walls.
Combined construction: stringers + bowstring Safety requirements for a turning staircase with winder steps
Do not forget that walking on wooden stairs should be as safe as possible, since both adults and children can move along them. Therefore, the following recommendations are urgent:
- the number of steps in one flight of stairs must be at least 3 and it is desirable that their total number be odd - it is psychologically more convenient to start and finish the ascent from the same foot;
- the height of the fence must exceed the level of the person’s center of gravity; on average, this parameter ranges from 90 to 120 cm;
- the structure must be fastened directly to load-bearing elements ceilings
Manual calculation of staircase parameters
Despite the many nuances and pitfalls that are encountered in the work process, a wooden winder staircase can not only be built on its own, but also be designed without the involvement of specialists. This does not require any special knowledge; everything you need to know is written in our article.
Stair height
This parameter is the distance from the floor of the first floor to the floor of the second floor, that is, the thickness of the ceiling is also taken into account. Many people forget about this, rushing to calculate the structure for the walls of a living space.
When choosing a slope, it is taken into account minimum distance to the ceiling The distance from the steps to the ceiling is calculated according to the person’s height; on average, this figure should not be lower than 190 cm, another 10 cm is added for ease of movement. Now this value can change in big side, but not less.
March length
Length future design consists of several points:
- tilt angle;
- step width;
- number of steps;
- size of the landing.
And you should start by taking measurements of the space available for the stairs and subsequently adjust the project to the standards and norms.
Stair width
The basis of all calculations is the convenience and safety of movement; a person must walk without pressing against the railing due to tightness and without fear of putting his foot past the step.
Regarding the width of the stairs, there are several recommendations:
- the minimum size between handrails or other barriers is 80-90 cm, in which case only one person can move. It is not possible to drag furniture along such a structure;
- the optimal size for a staircase with winder steps is 100-125 cm. Two people can easily separate, moving towards each other;
- Comfortable movement zones are considered to be sizes from 125 m to 150 cm, when oncoming traffic is not obstructed in any way.
Tilt angle
Another parameter responsible for the ease of use of the stairs, and this has its own criteria:
1. If the design is too steep, more living space is saved.
2. If the structure is flat, then movement is more comfortable and safe.
For residential premises it is in the range from 26 to 45 degrees. A steeper slope is considered hazardous and is used only for economic and industrial purposes.
Number of steps
This indicator cannot be certain and depends on total height design and step height. For example, if the floor height is 3 m, then dividing it by 15 cm - the average size of the riser - we get 20 steps.
Stair pitch (step depth)
The most important rule to remember: the foot must be in full contact with the step, however, an error of several centimeters is allowed to clarify the dimensions of the structure.
- the minimum value is 100 mm, however, if you quickly ascend or descend such stairs, you can get injured;
- the most suitable dimensions are from 200 to 300 mm, the movement does not force you to strain and look every time where you put your foot.
If you need to increase the width of the steps, you can fix them with a slight offset, but not more than 40 mm, so as not to accidentally get caught when moving.
Online calculators
If difficulties arise with independent calculation winder steps for a wooden staircase, you can use these calculators for turns on and. The advantages of this design approach:
- It is enough to indicate the required dimensions, and you will receive a diagram with all the parameters without unnecessary divisions and multiplications;
- the result can also be prepared in 3D, which will allow you to visually evaluate the design and simplify its manufacture.
- By specifying the materials, you will also receive a construction estimate.
Materials
After the calculations have been completed and the project has been prepared, you should decide on the type of wood from which the staircase will be built. For such designs it is best to use hard rocks, capable of withstanding heavy loads, such as oak, ash, walnut and beech.
They are all approximately in the same density category, but differ in price and susceptibility to rotting. Thus, the nut does not have sufficient resistance and has average cost. Ash is resistant to destruction, but also much higher in price. Pine is also suitable, but requires more careful processing.
Tools
The next stage is preparation the necessary tool for installation work:
- electric drill;
- jigsaw (you can get by with a hacksaw, but you will spend many times more time constructing the structure);
- screwdriver;
- hammer;
- roulette;
- building level or plumb line.
Nails, stainless steel screws and metal corners can be used as fastening elements.
Manufacturing and installation of the structure
Even at the stage of creating a drawing, you are faced with the question of what frame will underlie the staircase? In practice, the most popular are products made with strings and bowstrings - they are easy to installation work and practical to use.
Device diagram 
Connections of structural elements 
Attaching the stringer to the floor Design features:
- when the winder part is located directly at the base of the structure, the steps are installed on risers (if any) and on support pillars;
- if the winder part is located in the middle and the transition angle is straight (90 or 180 degrees), the turning treads are laid on load-bearing beams. The beams themselves are installed at right angles. Where the staircase bends, you can make a rounding using plywood, giving it a curved shape.
Let's consider both options for constructing a wooden staircase with winder steps with your own hands:
The assembly with the steps located on strings differs only in that they will be mounted between the base beams, and not on them, otherwise the sequence of actions is similar.
Marking stairs using a template 
Special stair steps placed in a circle are usually called “oblique” or winder steps. Due to their rather unusual shape, these elements can be used to rotate structures different areas marches. Mostly craftsmen install them at the bottom, in the middle, and also at the top. Although most often winder steps are used specifically for wooden stairs with a 90 degree rotation.
What are standard “oblique” steps?
Considering the installation features of the winder elements, you can understand that one of their ends, located on the inside, is narrower than the other, external. Steps of this type successfully replace more bulky intermediate platforms. But when using them for turning stairs, you need to remember some important nuances:
After watching various specialized videos, it becomes clear that the above steps are best used where there is a shortage of free space for future staircase structures. In addition, these elements allow you to visually expand the existing premises.
Important points that are recommended to be taken into account when making stairs with winder elements
Except clear advantages, “oblique” steps also have a couple of significant drawbacks. For example, the narrow edge of these elements sometimes causes psychological discomfort in people climbing the finished stairs. It seems to them that there is practically nowhere to put their feet. And to make rotating structures Overall quite difficult. This is especially true when performing basic calculations.
In order to get rid of the expected troubles that winder steps used for wooden stairs can cause, it is necessary to take into account the following points:
- the depth of the outer edge of the “oblique” elements should be a maximum of 400 mm, and the inner edge - at least 100 mm;
- the height of the steps must range from 120 to 220 mm;
- the existing protrusion of the edge of the tread cannot exceed 40 mm.
Having studied in detail the features of the installation of rotary structures, you can find out that the middle of each winder element created by yourself must be at least 200 mm, this is really important. In addition, when calculating staircase structures It is recommended to use certain formulas.
If we are talking about L-shaped products, then their comfort level is calculated as follows: a - b = 120 mm. Here “a” is the depth of the indicated steps, and “b” is optimal height riser There is also a special formula for determining the maximum safety of these structures: a + b = 460 mm.
However, if craftsmen plan to install U-shaped stairs, they need to remember that all space between flights must be equal to a quarter of the width of the “oblique” elements. Otherwise, the inner edges of the finished winder steps, photos of which are in the article, will turn out to be extremely narrow.
Creating a simple L-shaped product: preparing basic tools and materials
From videos posted on the Internet, you can find out that wood is ideal for making L-shaped stairs with “oblique” steps dark oak. But it is very expensive. That is why many experienced specialists give their preference to maple. This material It looks really attractive and its price is quite reasonable.
In addition to wood, craftsmen creating a structure with a 90-degree rotation will need to prepare in advance:
Useful additional information about the future construction
In order to clearly understand how to make high-quality winder steps for wooden stairs, it is necessary to consider in detail the sequence of creating an L-shaped product with a width of 93 cm. The length of the opening of such a design is exactly 2.29 m, and the height of its overlap is 2.68 m.
The staircase includes a couple of flights. The first consists of eight steps, the last of which exactly matches the existing platform of the upper floor of the building, and the second flight is made of only two elements. As for the “oblique” steps, there are exactly three of them. The rotation angle of these parts does not exceed 30 degrees.
For this product, craftsmen will have to make two stringers with their own hands. Their dimensions should be 5x30x300 cm. One part will be securely attached to the nearest wall, and the other will rest on a pillar with dimensions of 10x10x250 cm. The steps of the structure must have dimensions of 90x30x4 cm. But the turntable used for the construction of winder elements must already have dimensions 90x90x4 cm.
Key features of structure installation
The entire process of manufacturing an L-shaped staircase, the photo of which is striking in its beauty, is usually divided into several stages:
- First, the craftsmen make a template that resembles right triangle, attaching it to the guide rail.
- Then they mark the stringers and cut out these parts.
- The third stage is the installation of the support pillar.
- Then it is allowed to mount the base for the “oblique” steps.
- After this, specialists attach the stringers using metal corners.
- Then they cut out the winder elements, adjusting them to length.
- At the end, the steps are varnished and finally secured with long self-tapping screws.
The lower flight of stairs is made on a bowstring, the edge of which is cut at an angle of 90 degrees (to the floor). Then the craftsmen install balusters and handrails. The last mentioned parts are secured using self-tapping screws with countersunk heads. Well, get acquainted in more detail with the manufacture of winders stair steps this video will allow.
Aesthetically attractive stairs at reasonable prices
It is quite possible to create durable winder steps for wooden stairs yourself.
