Planning is Key: Building Custom Staircases For Your Home

Any residential property that has more than one story will have a staircase; and when you are installing this feature in your home, there are a number of things that will have to be taken into account. We at Boston Ironworks suggest that you keep these factors in view while selecting a staircase for your home:

Function

This is probably one of the most important aspects you would have to consider. The custom spiral staircases that are built on your property must be easy to navigate and this means they should be of a comfortable size and shape. While some stair designs look stunning, they may not always be very comfortable to climb up or down.

Plans for custom spiral staircases

When it comes to planning a staircase, you would have to identify where it will be located. You may not always have design flexibility in this aspect and might be compelled to work with the space that’s available to you. However, if you are building a new home or an extension, you may be able to get a little leeway in terms of choosing the location you want, for your staircase installation.

Shape and style

This is one more factor that will be dependent on the available space. Typically, if you want a more comfortable and inviting installation, you should look for a wider staircase design that also has a more subtle climb; however this installation will require larger floor spaces as well. The different shapes and types of staircases you can choose from are:

Straight
Return design
Spiral
L design
Circular

Once you have identified what kind of staircase you want, you should speak with experts that install custom spiral staircases, to understand whether the design is suitable for the available space. While they will provide you with all the information you need, it’s a good idea for you to conduct a bit of research online to identify what kind of styling you like best.

Choose skilled service providers

It’s also important that you choose experienced and reputed professionals for the job; they should be able to provide staircase design and installation services within your specified requirements and budget.
