Chicago Stairs

Staircases are not only functional, they can also be beautiful. This Chicago Stairs museum is a great example of how a modern stair can be designed to create a unique space while still meeting the necessary functional requirements. The stairs are also a popular destination for joggers and strollers.

A friend who lives three flights up a Chicago skyscraper enjoys the exercise and people-watching that come with stairs. But she admits the downside, including having to haul furniture up and down them. New surveillance video shows officers dragging a high school girl down a flight of stairs and kicking and hitting her, according to her father’s lawsuit.

The staircase is one of the most important architectural elements in a home. It provides specific kinds of visual appeal and takes up varying amounts of space, depending on the style chosen. Regardless of size, all types of staircases must meet building codes.

Staircase components include treads, risers, balusters, and handrails. There are also different staircase spindle styles that add a decorative touch to the overall look of the stairs. The railing supports the handrail and has a cap that is usually topped by a newel post. Newel posts are large vertical posts that sit at the top and bottom of a staircase flight or at key junctures where the direction changes.

A curved staircase is usually spiral or triangular and can be used to change the direction of a staircase without requiring a landing. It is sometimes called a kite winder. Its end element is a volute, which can be right or left-handed.

Stairs are also often designed with winders and other decorative elements. They can be crafted from many different materials and come in a variety of shapes, designs, and sizes. Stairs can be designed in many different forms, from straight runs to curved flights and double helices. A double helix staircase allows one person to ascend and another to descend simultaneously, while still occupying the same floor footprint. This type of stair is often used in emergency exits, as it allows two separate people to climb and descend at the same time, meeting legal safety requirements.
