Continuous Stair Handrails
Building Code Problems I have had numerous problems
with local building inspectors and building departments over the years
about continuous stair handrailing. When I first started in construction
the stair handrail was basically a guardrail to keep people from falling
off the staircase. Then the building departments in some areas took it
upon them selves to use the handrail for something to hold on to as you
are walking up and down the stairs.1/9/2008
How To Use A
Stair Runner What is a stair runner? I've heard of
stair climbers and stair builders but what in the world is a stair
runner? Well it has nothing to do with exercise, jogging, running or
climbing. Actually it is a strip of carpet that you can use in the
center of your stairway. The carpet comes in many different styles and
colors plus it comes in different widths and thickness. 1/9/2008
Cost
Effective Stair Construction What is the most
cost effective way of building stairs ? Why do the tract homes use on
site methods of construction ? When you think of a factory assembling a
product on a assembly line you think why not a home. Why do they
still build homes on lots or residential home sites ?
Add a Dynamic Design
Accent to Your Home with the Right Staircase Stairways
are a wonderful thing. They suggest a path to things unseen, hidden
destinations, secret lives. If you have a multistory home or are
planning to build one, take a few minutes to think about the stairs.
Perfect
Wall Mural For Your Stairs Although there are many to
choose from, you need not feel intimated. Wall Murals look fantastic in
the living room, kitchen, bathroom, nursery, kids’ bedroom, or
practically anywhere you want to make a decorative statement on an
otherwise plain wall (such as a staircase).
Stair And Bath Lifts
Tripping down or falling are some of the problems faced by
the elderly and the partially immobilized. The injury from the falls in
turn leads to further disability and limits independent and active life.
Simple changes in the environment and life styles can stop the
likelihood of tripping down or falling.
Staircase Design
Those of us who work in the home construction and design industry
tend to forget how many little things there are that go into the
creation of a new home or a redesign. There are design elements that
have to be decided upon, from the big picture such as the overall
architectural style of the home, down to the simplest things such as the
type of kitchen hardware or the balusters for the staircase or deck.
Old Railings
In Wrought Iron The wrought iron railing gives old look
to your porch and the staircases. The look is spoiled if one of the
railing breaks and the complete set of staircase railing will need to be
replaced. Here is some advice if your railings need some DIY repairs.
