The staircase on a solid metal frame fits into the design of almost any room. Not only the interior benefits from the design, home owners will also appreciate metal staircase frame for a long manufacturer's warranty and durability.
This type of stairs is more sophisticated and reliable. In addition, the structure can be installed before the start of the finishing and construction phase. And upon completion of the repair, the metal frame can be sheathed with any finishing material if desired.
Metal frames are conventionally divided into two types - open and closed. Closed stairs are used to embody the most bizarre design ideas:
- Sheathing with any suitable material.
- Decoration with forging elements.
- Insertion of additional elements made of plastic, glass and wood.
By design, this type of stairs most often consists of two channels, on which the steps themselves are subsequently mounted.
Open products from a metal frame require a more careful attitude towards themselves. But the result is always justified. This type of frame gives visual lightness to the product, while maintaining high strength parameters. Also, open stairs are popular due to the simplified installation features. All individual elements of the metal staircase frame are fastened using threaded connections without the use of welding equipment. Such work will not add garbage in the house.
Features of the choice of metal frames
At the stages of metal frame planning, first of all, the safety of the lifting is taken into account:
- distance to ceiling;
- step height;
- the strength of the cladding material.
Thanks to the extensive range of metal frames, you can choose a structure in a wide price range, which allows you to purchase a ladder even with a limited budget. At the same time, manufacturers will select a product that matches the design and general layout of the room.
Although the metal base saves wood, the price of metal stairs will still be quite high, since the finished frame will subsequently need to be sheathed. However, the fire safety of the stairs in any case remains at a height.
