Most of the modern houses nowadays use stainless steel staircases as they look futuristic and innovative. However, the design doesn't come in a day. As a good designer, you should know the basic calculation to design a staircase and draw it out using CAD or other software. Design without proper calculation may end up with misalignment of each step. Thus, calculation to construct steel staircases must not be overlooked.

This article will tell you in details how to size a staircase. First of all, measure the height of the staircase needed. The exact dimension is needed from the ground finished floor until the next level finished floor. Then, specify the length from the tip of staircase until the end part depending on the space available. If your house is small, then the length will be shorter and vise versa. Then, select the dimension for each step depending on your needs as some people may require a wider step.

Next, you should measure your floor-to-floor height or the distance of the floors that you're to connect with the spiral staircase kit. This is a very important specification that your chosen company will adjust to. You should also know if you have space for the whole diameter of the spiral staircase for your chosen spot. The typical diameter is 3ft and 11in. Furthermore, you should know whether or not the company you will be getting your kit from has installers in your area. It's always best to have spiral staircase kits installed by people from the same company. If they don't, remember to ask for accredited or recommended installers in your area.

Also, since most staircase kits are prefinished, it's best to ask your supplier is repainting it is a good idea, in case you change your mind about the finish. This is especially necessary for outdoor staircases because they are typically made of stainless staircase since iron alloys are known to easily rust and corrode especially if exposed to the elements.

Glass staircases are a common favorite of the minimalist look advocates. The modern stylish vibe given off by glass staircases is the reason why most invest in good quality materials despite the hefty price tag. Most who opt to have glass staircases know that only the best and trusted can be used to avoid accidents and to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
