Stairs & Railings
A carefully designed
Stairway should not
only be functional but
also beautiful. At Son
of a Carpenter, Inc. ,
we will use our
experience and
knowledge along with
innovative parts and
products from top
manufacturers.
Stairways are
designed to safely
connect living spaces
on multiple levels.
Stairways may be
straight, round,
curved or may
consist of two or
more straight
sections connected at
angles.
Son of a Carpenter, Inc. will take your stairway to a higher level!
While a series of Steps makes the vertical climb much easier, a Balustrade
keeps you and your loved ones safe from falling over a dangerous edge
When designing a stairway, there are some key points to consider:
Safety
Functionality
Aesthetics & Beauty
Safety is the dominating factor in all stairway designs
Functionality of the stair system is critical to success.
Aesthetics is created by using logical patterns appealing to
the eye while, Beauty is created through creative design,
material , and craftsmanship
Stairways are a challenging craft in
itself, due to a high level of skillful
craftsmanship and very strict Building
Codes and guidelines designed for your
Safety. The Steps and Risers will
require specific measurement so that the
stairs will not be too steep or narrow.
Only a very small variance is allowed
between each and every step. Due to the
potential danger of falling and injury, the
codes and requirements are increasingly
demanding more precise stair and rail
construction for Your benefit. The “feel”
of a every home’s stairs will be similar.
Theoretically, You should be able to feel
comfortable traveling the stairs in the
dark.
The Balustrade is a system of
posts and handrails that keep the
stairs safe. The primary purpose of
the post and rails is to keep people
and objects from falling over the
edge of the stairs and balconies.
Observing strict Building Codes,
handrails offer additional support
to stairway travelers.
Special consideration has to
be taken when designing
stairways in order to ensure good
ergonomics and functionality.
The goal is to make the steps and
handrails as comfortable as
possible.
Because the stairway is often
the only path of travel between
levels, proper planning,
improvements and/or repairs are
very critical to the process of
building the steps and should
always be done before new
construction or a remodel of the
existing stairway.
Stairways are often a key architectural design element of a home. Just because they have to be
safe and functional doesn’t mean that the Stairway has to be an eyesore. Stairways present an
opportunity for and expressive design that enhances the “feel” of the entire home.
Many combinations of stair shapes
and materials can be used to set your
stairway apart. Woods, Metals, Stones,
etc. can be integrated and used in
various combinations. Son of a
Carpenter, Inc. will work with you to
take your home to a new level.
Don’t let the curved stairway get you all “wound up” !
