Glass staircase looks luxurious in any interior. It creates a feeling of weightlessness, despite the strength and reliability of both the design itself and the material from which it is manufactured. How to do it?
1
Before starting to deal with how to make a staircase with your own hands, come up with her design and develop a drawing. Decide which it will be: screw, marching, cantilever, turning, etc. The easiest option is the straight march of the stairs. Consider it as an example. Calculate the number of steps and spans: you have a height from the floor of the first floor to the floor of the second floor, suppose 5000 m. The normal step of step will be on average 160 mm. Now divide 5000 mm (5 m) by 160 mm \u003d 31.25, that is, almost 32 steps.
2
Calculate the accurate step of step: 5000 mm / 32 steps \u003d 156.25 mm - the optimal step height for your area. You have left to calculate the depth of the step and the length of the stairs. According to generally accepted standards, the average step length is 600-650 mm. We calculate it according to the formula 2a + b \u003d 600, where a is the height of the step, B - the depth. In our example: B \u003d 600 - 2a, B \u003d 600 - 2 * 156,25 \u003d 287.5 mm - the depth of the step.
3
Calculate the area that the staircase will take: the depth of the step * the number of steps \u003d area or 287.5 * 32 \u003d 9200 mm or 9.2 m. It is worth remembering that the last step on the fact is the floor of the second floor. If such a staircase is too long for your room space, replace it with a screw or, for example, M-shaped.

One of the interesting options, which is easy enough to make with your own hands, is a staircase at largests (metal-based). Her raisin is that by mounting to the wall, she seems to soar in weightlessness. Only the wall for this should be chosen strong. The advantage of this choice will be the savings of space under the stairs due to that there will be no need to install supports. If you want to make this option, then with the ready-made calculations that you have completed on the basis of the instructions above, refer to the manufacture of steps, hospitals and brackets. Additionally purchase bolts with a diameter of 11 mm and a length of 45 mm.
5
Secure the brackets into the wall. Then drill with a drill in the steps of the hole with a special drill for ceramics or glass (2 holes from each edge for the Boltz and brackets).
6
Set the lowest stage to the bracket, secure the bolt. Now secure the hospitals. In this way, the complete design is going to slowly.
We hope that the advice given in our article will help you develop your own, unique design, calculate the required amount of material and implement your dream. Additionally, you can advise you to choose a glass with inserts with inserts or to mount parallel steps into the wall lanterns wall. Such a staircase will look unusually beautiful and modern.
