What to watch for when ordering staircase

Client asks:

What should I pay attention to when ordering a staircase to avoid mistakes?

Stair24 answers:

Problems with a staircase usually happen because some important details are not considered before ordering. A good staircase starts with planning and smart decisions. Asking the right questions early ensures a staircase that is comfortable, safe, and long-lasting.

Here are the main points to watch for when ordering a staircase.

Start Planning Early

Timing is key. Staircase planning should begin during the design or renovation phase. If the stair opening, floor height, and room layout are already fixed, your staircase options are limited. The staircase might fit, but it may not be comfortable or practical.

Check Stair Proportions and Space

A staircase is comfortable when the step height and depth are balanced and there is enough movement space. Important is not just the staircase width, but the clear walking width and height. These measurements make stair movement natural and safe.

Stair24 uses the formula 2H + B = 630 mm, based on average human step length. Stairs are considered comfortable when the formula result is between 590–650 mm.

Consider Safety and Longevity

A staircase is one of the most used elements in a home. It must be safe, stable, and comfortable. Handrails, railings, and the staircase structure must be well-designed and durable.

Think of a staircase as a long-term investment. Cheap or poorly planned stairs can cause problems, extra costs, or discomfort later. Stair24 designs stairs as a complete solution, considering space, movement, and safety, so your staircase is comfortable, safe, and lasts for years.
