A Staircase is a structure created to unite spaces at different levels. It consists of three key elements, steps or stairs, rest, and rail. Each step consists of a fingerprint, rather than to support the foot, and a riser, riser plane.

One type of stairs is the spiral staircase. Spiral staircase is built around a central vertical pillar which serves as the hub for the propeller that forms the sequence of steps.

How to design a spiral staircase:

One way to design the spiral staircase is that the width of the trace, plus twice the riser height is equal to the length of a human step; of around 65cm. It is desirable that the rail has a bar for each step for added security.

The spiral stairs can be constructed in various materials such as wood, metal, stainless steel, aluminum, concrete, stone, or combination of wood and metal, metal and glass, concrete and metal. They can be installed in either direction. You can count on a rest platform and have anti-skid coating materials. They are composed of steps, a central pillar and railing. When combined, it will have a cap that holds each step. The wedge-shaped treads arranged in a fan.

The beginning of the stairs is called boot. The end of the stairway is a horizontal plane called plateau. The horizontal planes are in the middle of the staircase landings or rest is called. To avoid fatigue, the number of steps is limited to thirteen or fifteen. If you need more, it will include a landing. The staircase can be internal or external, that concerning its location on the building.

The staircase is located within an area called the box, formed by the rail. The housing may be circular or square, may have no case. In this case, step out of the pillar (turnip) central cantilever. Its width should be appropriate to use it is put.
