Architectural
Stairs
straight architectural stairs
The most common form of stair construction are going to be straight
stairs. Architectural stairs could be prefabricated in a factory or shop
somewhere or can be designed on-site at your job. Most
architectural details will be performed on site by custom craftsman.
These craftsman or finish carpenters provide this service necessary to
complete the task. The architect draws the plans the Finnish
carpenter provides the labor. Architectural woodworking trim comes
in more sizes and shapes and you can imagine, anywhere from small
intricate little pieces to large custom shapes. Starting with a simple
straight set of stairs with architectural trim you will be able to
decorate the stair stringers and install a fancy handrail system to
really dress up the stairway.
curved architectural stairs
Working with curved stairway systems you will be amazed at what
architectural detail and trim work you will be able to use in what is
available to use to complete your project. Curved stairway's otherwise
known as circular stairs by most come in many shapes and sizes and can
be a daunting task to build. Some of the stairs by themselves will take
months to build and will require more than one Finish carpenter.
Architectural circular stairs will be designed by an architect or a
master carpenter most of the stairs components will be built in a shop
and brought to the job. Building curved architectural stairs requires
advanced building techniques that are beyond the grasp of most standard
do-it-yourself homeowner's. But don't be discouraged even though this is
a complicated building process with enough time you can do anything.
geometric architectural stairs
Geometric shapes stairways are among the hardest architectural stairs to
create due to elliptical shapes and freestanding stair stringers. Most
architects draw on a sheet of paper something that is most difficult to
build structural. This is where the help of a master stair builder will
be able to perform tasks that often are extremely difficult. Over the
years I have build stairs that have been structurally complicated. These
geometrical shaped architectural stairs are among the best looking when
completed. The biggest problem with freestanding architectural stairs
are the tendency to sag in the middle due to the design. This problem
can be solved using laminated stair stringers created on the job or in a
shop. Geometrical stairways even know extremely complicated to build
create a main focal point in a home you're building. The designed by
most architects makes one of the biggest statements in a home as you
walk through the front door.
