Information
This online calculator integrates a system to allow you to calculate a staircase to the second floor with a 90-degree turn and winder steps without having the skills of a designer or special knowledge in the field of construction. This program is created by people, for people. Simplicity and ease of use, along with a logically understandable interface, will help you perform what seems to be a complex calculation in just a few clicks. By following the general instructions and rules, you will get an accurate calculation of materials, as well as clear drawings that exclude any errors.
This simple program can provide you with a highly accurate automatic calculation, whether it is a wooden or metal staircase. Let's try to understand together what the construction of a staircase with winder steps entails. This type of staircase not only serves for convenient movement between floors but also significantly saves space compared to ordinary straight staircases. Due to the absence of an intermediate landing, its aesthetic appearance is enhanced, making it fit perfectly into any modern decor. Since the intermediate landing is made in the form of steps, you save on material when constructing this structural element.
To calculate a staircase with winder steps and a 90-degree turn, you will need some initial data:
- Standard dimensions, lengths, and widths;
- The dimensions of the opening where the winder staircase will be located;
- And perhaps most importantly, the geometric dimensions of the steps.
In the last point, it is necessary to know and consider some features such as the height of the steps and their width.
For the winder steps, it is recommended to use the following dimensions:
- In the narrowest areas, the most convenient size is considered to be 100 mm.
- In the central part of the step, the average size should be 250 mm.
- In the widest area, specialists recommend using a step depth of no more than 400 mm.
The height of the step in this case is best taken according to the standard, within 15-20 cm. And the angle of the stringer for comfortable ascent and descent is 30-40 degrees. It is also necessary to consider the features of the material you plan to use for the staircase itself. This can be metal, wood, concrete, or even glass. Lastly, when calculating the staircase, do not forget about the nosing overhang, the maximum size for this type of staircase should not exceed 5 cm.
Calculation Results
If you follow the rules and recommendations and correctly enter the initial data, you will get: the most accurate drawing of an L-shaped staircase to the second floor, the calculation of the staircase performed according to all standards, and a safe and comfortable structure after its installation.
The main result of the work of this calculator is:
- Information necessary for the manufacturing of stringers;
- Information necessary for the manufacturing of steps;
According to this information, the details 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 feature of this calculator for calculating staircases with 90° winder steps is the implementation of two functions:
- Assessment of the staircase's convenience;
- Adjustment of the staircase design.
Online calculation of staircases, whether a metal or wooden structure, helps to quickly calculate and visualize the project. Our calculation calculator allows you to consider all parameters, including dimensions and materials, to obtain an accurate result.
