Information
The primary purpose of our online calculator is to calculate a staircase with winder steps at 180 degrees. These staircases are very common in cottage construction as they save a significant amount of free space. This calculator will help you handle the complex geometric calculations of a U-shaped staircase in just a few clicks. The integrated calculation system of this calculator will allow you to avoid errors when designing the staircase. The automatic calculation eliminates any inaccuracies when creating drawings.
Functions of the online calculator and calculation features:
The main feature of this calculator is its ease of use. To calculate a staircase with winder steps, you do not need to understand the intricacies of design or have special knowledge in the field of architecture. You will be able to calculate all the parameters of the staircase online.
Before using the calculator for a 180-degree turn staircase with winder steps, it is necessary to understand what this structure represents. The main idea of a staircase with winder steps is primarily space saving. The inter-floor landing is made in the form of steps and serves for the continuous progression of the staircase flight. Regardless of whether you choose a metal or wooden construction, it must primarily be reliable, convenient, and as safe as possible.
To calculate a staircase with winder steps, you need to enter the following data:
- Overall dimensions: length, width, height, etc.;
- Geometric characteristics of the steps and landing.
The thickness of the steps and the riser directly depends on the materials you choose. For example, tongue-and-groove boards, which are most commonly used for steps, have a thickness of 32, 35, or 40 millimeters. Do not forget this when entering data into the calculator. If you plan to install factory-made steps during the construction of the staircase, it is recommended to specify the dimensions in advance, as the width of "factory" steps is usually 30 centimeters.
Inaccuracies in calculations can lead to difficulties in ascending and descending between floors. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the inclination of the stringers, with an optimal walking angle of 30-40 degrees and the most comfortable step height being 15-20 centimeters.
What materials can the staircase be made of?
This calculator is perfect for staircases made of wood, but this does not mean it cannot be used if you want to calculate a concrete or metal staircase. The convenient data entry console, as well as the ease of calculation and accuracy of the resulting drawings, are the main advantages of this program. Despite its simplicity, it is suitable for both beginners and professionals.
The main result of this calculator's work:
- Information necessary for the manufacture of stringers;
- Information necessary for the manufacture of steps.
According to this information, the parts from which the structure is assembled are manufactured.
All other drawings show the final appearance of the structure: after the stringers and steps are connected to each other.
The special feature of this calculator is the implementation of two functions:
- Evaluation of the convenience of the staircase;
- Adjustment of the staircase structure.
