Different Kinds of Staircases You Need To Know About

When it comes to a new home building or renovation project, we tend to look at the stairway and feel intimidated.

The shape and size matter in the overall construction because you don’t want to throw off the structure of the surrounding areas. Here are the different kinds of staircases you need to know about for your home. 

1. L-Shaped

The L-shaped stairway is a variation of a straight stairway. The only difference between the two is the bend in one portion, forming the L-shaped pattern. The addition of a landing at the turn of the stairs provides uniqueness and differentiation to the structure.

These are excellent options for tight spaces where you need to create a smooth transition to the next floor.

2. Winder

The winder staircase is a spin on the L-shaped stairway and is slightly more complicated. With a landing pod that creates a bend in the casing, the distinguishing feature of this type is the more broadly-set treads.

The steps take on triangular or pie-like shapes and move with the flow of the wall or steps.

3. U-Shaped

If you’ve ever decided to skip the elevator and take the stairs to get your steps in, the chances are that you’ve had a run-in with a U-shaped stairway.

While this is less common in homes, a modern structure could take on the U-shape stairway with a wire railing installation. 

4. Spiral

A spiral stairway is the most visually appealing of all the different kinds of staircases you need to know about. However, spiral steps are not ideal for people on the clumsy side, as the treads are on the narrow side.

From above, the stairway creates a perfect circle, making this design concept more suitable for compact spaces.

5. Bifurcated

The bifurcated staircase is on the grand side of the different designs. The average home would not qualify for something so robust, though you could certainly try to incorporate it into yours.

A bifurcated stairway is one large opening set of steps followed by two sets of steps, with one on the left and the other on the right. Picture the stairs of the Titanic in your head.

When you settle on one design decision, your to-do list remains long. And when you’re dealing with stairs, it’s difficult to know without a doubt if a shape will work in your space. Knowing that there are different variations to choose from will help you make the best decision for your home.
