How to make a spiral staircase with your hands ↑
Any stair design does not only aesthetic function, it should be comfortable and multifunctional. It is difficult to imagine that in a two-story house is installed a spiral staircase, or a variant of the lifting system.
There are many options for the design of staircases, decoration of stages. Yes, the very staircase designs with unusual design decisions quite a lot.
Wooden spiral staircase with your hands should fit perfectly with the overall interior of the house, also to fully satisfy all safety rules, especially if you have small children and the elderly.
Select the ladder structure ↑
In order to correctly choose a ladder system, you need to know about their flavors.
There is a subdivision of a ladder designs on the following parameters:
- the material used for the construction of the system;
- aesthetic characteristics;
- form;
- installation place;
- railing construction;
- size;
- the styling.
In its direct purpose, there are ladder system:
- input;
- backboard;
- utility;
- basement;
- attic.
Among the common options of stair systems used in private homes, select:
- rotary or direct propulsion system, for example, spiral stairway to the photo. The material is mainly wood or metal.
- modular or prefabricated structures;
- system on the brackets, the rails, the stringers;
- transformers and portable design;
- internal or external system;
- bolted to the wall of the stairs or separately located;
- with steps open or closed;
- with handrails or without them.
To make a spiral staircase to the second floor economy class you can own, with drawings, tools, and desire.
Wooden marching designs ↑
Propulsion system is the most simple and popular, like a spiral staircase with your own hands with drawings can be found on many websites of construction companies or order in the design Studio.
This design involves production of two or more flights, separated by the turning platforms or steps.
The algorithm of actions ↑
First you need to choose the stair design to carry out the calculations. For the variant with lateral support need «well», in its walls is inserted into stage. To do on their own «well» theoretical perhaps, but better a spiral staircase to the second floor photos to select the main beam to support the casing.

Calculations ↑
Calculate spiral staircase in which the backbone is a steel tube with a thickness of 5 mm, a diameter of 6-8 cm angle Steel use for welding consoles, and for the arrangement of the steps we use with solid wood.
You have to understand that spiral staircase to the second floor is the right circumference, its diameter corresponds to the size of the opening.
R –outer radius console (circumference).
R1 is the inner radius of the aperture (the diameter of the thickness of the support pipe).
γ – turnover design, angular value, showing the difference in height between the levels.
L –circumference.
The formula to calculate circumference:
L=2πR*n or L=2πR* (γ/360).
In practice this is not sufficient for the normal movement of the steps, but because of the radius of the motion is taken to be 2R/3. In the end, the formula takes the following form:
l=2π*2R/3*n=4πR/3*n
Expect stage ↑
The main difference is that spiral staircases in Leroy Merlin have a specific form of steps. Console this system is petal, which has a rounded edge. To console is characterized by the following parameters:
- h – the length of the step. It is the difference between the radius of the aperture and the outer radius of the support pipe. The length of the steps up to the meter console it is possible to make from solid wood, the frame is not required;
- W1 – the width of the tread;
- W2-the width of the workpiece;
- α-the angle of the stairs.
To determine the number of steps the height of the opening divided by the rise of the stairs. Convenient for movement will be a spiral staircase dimensions lifting steps, which is 15-20 cm.
Calculate the angle of the stairs by the formula:
α= γ: number of steps.
Knowing the width and angle of the degree, we expect the greatest width of the tread:
W1=R*sinα
The width of the tread is calculated according to the formula:
w= r* sinα= (2R*sinα)/3
Convenient are wood spiral staircases, the width of which is prestupni is in the range of 20-30 cm.
Variety of screw designs ↑
When there is insufficient space to accommodate marches, installation of helical structures. Wrought iron spiral staircase will fit into any interior, if the interior is finished with natural materials. Spiral systems are used to lift into the attic, that is, the auxiliary structures.
About the disadvantages of helical systems.
- On a spiral design is inconvenient to climb, high risk of injury to children, the elderly.
- The inconvenience of lifting of furniture.
- Trapezoidal shape of the stairs prevents to move normally, the steps for the right and left feet are different in size.
Aesthetically a spiral staircase made out of wood with your hands looks very nice, I think «air», brings extra charm in home design.
Wooden swivel ↑
This system – a kind spiral stair designs. They partially or completely consist of winder stairs. There are the following modifications:
- curved;
- half-curled;
- a quarter turn;
- curved.
The swivel mounting of wooden structures is often performed near the curtain wall, handrail put on the outside. Some houses can be seen standing alone (without anchoring to the wall) a ladder structure. The lack of manufacturing spiral staircases of a similar kind – the inconvenience of movement of the steps, the system looks quite original and aesthetically pleasing.
Install spiral stair system ↑
There is a definite sequence of Assembly spiral stair design:
- first you need to calculate a spiral staircase, make sure it is «viability» in these conditions;
- select the location of the main shaft, is attached to the lower support flange;
- the first stage is attached to the floor, it is included in the flange;
- building level checks the vertical mount support bar;
- in the center column are superimposed on top of the bushing, the steps mounted according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer;
- comfortable wooden spiral staircase with your hands on the second floor attached to the walls of the opening, or using the upper stage;
- at the top fix the support rod;
- select and install handrails and safety barriers.
The nuances of installation ↑
Remember that to obtain the desired result, it is important to follow the instructions suggested by the manufacturer.
- To determine the location of the main pivot on the second floor needs to be pulled perpendicular to each other diagonally in two cords. At the point of their intersection fasten the plumb line to the floor of the first floor to make a point. It is in obtained place and need to raise the rod, then wrought-iron spiral staircases are not only beautiful but also durable and safe.
- For making the Central support will fit the pipe which diameter is more than 50mm.
- New spiral staircase to the loft was secure, the support rod is put on concrete individual the pillow. Mounting hardware for such a system can become the anchor bolts.
- Mount on the main stem of the steps is performed on the narrow side. The height of the sleeve similar to the parameters of the risers, behind him on the size of the washer that is inserted between the treads and hubs. Homemade wrought-iron spiral staircase in the photo are elegant and unique look.
Washers made from durable materials to protect the structure from mechanical strain, for example, you can make a cast iron spiral staircases on the individual sizes:
Often wooden structures combined with other materials, so the team ladder screw may consist of stone, wood, metal. For many ages it has wood as a primary material for the construction of staircases, have not lost their relevance and they are currently. Gradually replacing the classic wooden system ready original spiral staircase made of cast iron and steel. Was thinking about installing a spiral design? Consult with professionals, study the cusp, don’t forget about the calculations. Only observance of all nuances will allow you to create a masterpiece in your house.
