At Ske Design, we create stairs that combine functionality, aesthetics and durability. Stairs are more than just a pathway between levels in a home; they are an integral part of its design and style. In this article, we will discuss the key aspects of selecting and finishing a staircase so you can make an informed choice.
What kind of stairs are the most convenient?
A comfortable staircase is one that is easy to use for all household members and guests. For this reason, both their dimensions and overall layout are important. Here are a few types of stairs to consider:
Straight stairs
- Advantages: Easy to use, fits most interiors.
- Disadvantages: They can take up a lot of space depending on the height of the room.
Winding staircase
- Advantages: Space-saving, attractive design.
- Disadvantages: They can be less comfortable, especially when carrying large items.
L-shaped or U-shaped stairs
- Advantages: A balanced solution between convenience and space saving.
- Disadvantages: They may require more planning and cost.
With the steel staircase we offer at Ske Design, we have the ability to fine-tune the dimensions and shape to suit your needs. Steel gives you a lot of freedom in design, allowing you to create a staircase that is not only comfortable, but also beautiful.
The high quality of our products also guarantees safety and durability, which is invaluable in daily use.
Tips for staircase dimensions
- Width of the steps: for comfort, we recommend a minimum of 80-100 cm.
- Step height: optimally between 17 and 18 cm.
The final choice depends on individual preferences and needs, but we can tell you from experience that steel stairs often score the highest marks in terms of convenience and functionality.
How to cheaply finish the stairs at home?
Budget is often one of the main constraints when thinking about finishing a staircase. The good news is that there are ways to save without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Choosing materials for stairs
Although steel staircases may seem like an expensive investment at first glance, they are an economical choice in the long run. Why? Because of their durability and minimal maintenance requirements. In other words, it's an investment that pays for itself over time.
DIY vs. professional stair installation
Some work, such as painting or installing a balustrade, can be done by yourself. However, complex projects are best left to specialists. At Ske Design, we offer a variety of finishing packages to fit the project to your budget.
Cheaper accessories
Details such as railings, handrails and lighting can significantly affect the final cost. We offer different versions of these elements, starting with the more economical and ending with the luxurious.
Finishing the stairs
Steel can be finished in a number of ways: painted, varnished or left in its raw, industrial form. Each of these options has its advantages, and the cheapest solution does not have to mean compromising on appearance.
In short, while steel staircases can be an upfront investment, they offer extensive opportunities for savings at the finishing and maintenance stages. And most importantly, even the budget versions maintain a high standard of quality, which is a priority for us at Ske Design.
Is it possible to put panels on the stairs?
Floor panels are a popular flooring choice in homes. Many people wonder if they can also be used on stairs. The answer is yes, however, there are some things to pay attention to.
Advantages of using panels on stairs
- Aesthetics: Well-chosen staircase panels can blend with floors on different floors.
- Cost: It is usually a cheaper option than, for example, natural stone or certain types of wood.
Disadvantages of using panels on stairs
- Durability: Panels may be less resistant to wear and tear compared to steel or concrete.
- Security: They can be slippery, which increases the risk of falling.
In the case of steel stairs from Ske Design, the use of panels is possible and can be an attractive finishing option. However, it should be noted that the panels must be carefully fixed to the steel structure, which guarantees their stability and safety.
How to put panels on the stairs?
- Choose panels with the right thickness and anti-slip properties.
- Prepare the surface of the steps - remove old carpets, if necessary level the surface of the steps.
- Mount the panels with special clips or glue to the steel structure.
- Final finishing touch - install skirting boards.
The use of panels on steel stairs is therefore possible and can be an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution. As always, the key here is precise fitting and professional installation, which is guaranteed by Ske Design.
