External metal stairs
During construction, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances in as much detail as possible so that the staircase is safe and effectively performs its functions. A properly designed and installed structure will last a long time. The possibilities of metal are endless for realizing design ideas.
Let's consider the features of street stairs on a metal frame and their types.
An outdoor metal staircase is a very important part of a home's exterior. Like any staircase, it must have a certain set of characteristics. In outdoor conditions, metal is ideal for making stairs, because it is durable, durable material. Also using metal forging You can make a model of a non-standard configuration.
Our company is engaged in the production of street stairs on a metal frame, has experience in implementation design features of any complexity. For customers with a small budget we offer standard stairs. Although there is also a way out of this situation - you can add railings or handrails of an original shape. Our specialists have installed a huge number of structures in different conditions, so entrust the installation of the stairs to us! Then it will meet all safety requirements. We will give a 10 year guarantee.
There are several types of outdoor metal stairs. Depending on the intended purpose, there are corresponding requirements for the materials from which they are made and recommended design features. Choosing the final option is easy when you know the exact purpose staircase design.
Metal stairs come with a platform and also without it. Depending on the type of material from which they are made, there are steel and iron. According to the purpose of use, they are divided into technical, screw, and exclusive. For evacuation, to save space and to give the exterior of the house a unique decorative beauty.
To buy street metal staircase, leave a request on the website or call us. After talking with our manager, send a photo of the place where you want to place the structure, and we will prepare the most suitable offer for you. We also work on design projects. We can implement the project you like based on a photo. We guarantee our work for 10 years.
There are two main requirements for metal stairs: safety and comfort. Everything else: design, finishing, structural additions and accessories are secondary. When we're talking about When it comes to safety, it means, first of all, strength – and here metal steps for stairs are unrivaled. It is clear that the term “metal” covers more than one position, so we will consider the types and design features of all offers that are present on the modern market.
The scope of application of metal steps is quite extensive:
The strength of the elements has already been mentioned, which determines the second most important characteristic - their long service life. Other features include the following:
The classification of metal steps is carried out according to different parameters. According to the material used:
Aluminum steps for stairs have a low specific weight, which makes it possible to save on load-bearing structures by using small profiles.
Aluminum steps are light, strong and durable, but relatively expensive
Stainless steel steps have a purely metallic color, which makes them stand out from the general line; moreover, they are not subject to negative impact humidity. And this is an additional plus that manufacturers use in the manufacture of steps for flights of stairs, intended for wet areas.
Stainless steel is suitable for use even in rooms with wet processes - swimming pools, saunas, baths, etc. Galvanized steel performs well in street conditions, as it is not afraid of precipitation.
Ladder made of galvanized steel Structural steel is used in the construction of objects with high loads.
It should be noted that the attitude towards stainless steel steps is ambiguous. On the one hand – beauty, reliability and long-term operation. On the other hand, these are the most expensive models, not everyone can afford them.
The main criteria for the design of steps include strength and anti-slip properties. That is, the surface should not be smooth. They achieve this different ways, the following options are most often used:
Everyone knows what a grid is. These are metal strips or rods woven together that make up the cells different sizes and forms. The latter can be square, rectangular, diamond-shaped or polygonal. Basically, such steps are used for street stairs, because thanks to the cellular structure, water does not accumulate and ice does not form.
In private housing construction, gratings are used for finishing entrance stairs and porch. In this case, street elements must be treated with anti-slip compounds or gratings with a rough surface or with notches are used in their design, as shown in the photo below.
Notches on the surface of the steps prevent slipping For internal metal stairs, lattice steps made of aluminum or stainless steel are installed. The first option is preferable because it reduces the load on the supporting structure.
This steel material is covered with bulges on top. They may have different shapes and sizes, located randomly or in one system. The main task of the manufacturer is to create surfaces with high anti-slip properties. It is the bulges that create this effect.
Corrugated steel sheet is practical, durable and corrosion resistant
The sheets are simply cut to the shape and size of the steps, which are placed in a prepared frame made from a steel profile, usually from a corner. They are welded to the frame or secured with a bolted connection.
It should be noted that corrugated steps are not recommended for use on streets. They do not have through holes through which water could flow. But inside production premises this material has found wide application.
This type includes metal sheets, mainly steel and aluminum, which are pierced during the production process in small areas. And one or both walls of the puncture rise up. That is, a small protrusion is formed. And since there are many such protrusions, a plane with an anti-slip effect is formed on the surface of the sheet. 
Expanded-profiled flooring has improved anti-slip properties
This process in production is called cutting. When creating steps, the sheet is usually cut to the size and shape of the future product and bent along the edges, creating attachment planes.
Metal grooves for stairs must be selected taking into account the height of the protruding metal and the size of the holes. The more holes and the higher the wall is raised, the better the anti-slip effect.
Typically, such steps are used on outdoor staircase structures because they allow water to pass freely. But also in production shops with high humidity they also have their uses.
As a rule, these structures are not distinguished as a separate type, because according to GOST they belong to profiled sheets. They have a completely different technology for creating holes. It is called expanded metal, and the sheets themselves are labeled as PVL, that is, expanded metal sheets. In production, holes are first made in galvanized or stainless steel sheets, and then they are pulled by the edges in opposite directions, stretching and forming a mesh. 
The profiled sheet prevents slipping due to notches
At the same time, the sheet itself becomes longer, due to which its weight decreases by 1 m², which reduces specific gravity products. And this again means savings in terms of choosing the sizes of supporting profiles. Let us add that the cell size of PVL can be different. And the larger they are, the lighter the mesh sheet itself.
The most critical area of the degree is the outer leading edge. If it is wet or covered with ice, then there is a high probability of your foot slipping. Therefore, it is recommended to equip steps with metal corners, which are made from different alloys.
There are no difficulties here. Steel ones are attached by welding or screws to the front panel of the frame. Aluminum and brass are also attached to the front plate with screws or bolts. Rubber ones are glued with a special adhesive composition, which is called galoshny. In this case, vulcanization technologies are used, that is, using thermal energy.
Typically, metal steps are part of an iron staircase. Therefore, you can attach two metal elements in two ways:
The second option is most often used, because in this way the maintainability of products is achieved. That is, if one part fails, it can be easily replaced with a new one. It’s the same with steps: if they are welded to load-bearing beams or support posts, then cutting them off will be problematic. Moreover, the welding seam is usually located at the bottom so that it is not visible.
WITH bolted connection It’s easier - you just need to unscrew the nut from the bolt. The main task of the manufacturer is to determine the number of fastening sections and their exact location relative to the load-bearing elements. Typically, the steps are attached to each beam with two bolts located at the same distance relative to the abutment planes. It is necessary that the bolt heads be located on the side of the stringers (strings or racks), and the nuts under the steps.
Interfloor stairs are made of various materials, such as concrete, wood, metal. IN Lately Metal stairs are especially popular. Technological qualities of this material make it possible to make a metal staircase with your own hands of almost any design, while the structure will be distinguished by its durability and aesthetic appeal. However, in order to make quality metal staircase diagrams with your own hands, you need to make correct calculations and choose a quality one construction material. The reliability and load bearing capacity stairs. This article will discuss how to design drawings and take into account all the features of a metal structure.
Metal stairs are classified according to design, manufacturing method, and design features.
There are several types of metal stairs
According to the design of the structure there are:
Depending on the manufacturing method, stairs can be forged or welded. Forged structures are much more difficult to make than a simple welded staircase, so it is better to entrust this matter to professional builders.
Structurally, products are divided into the following types:
In this video you will learn how to install a ladder:
Attention! When making an iron staircase with your own hands, you need to know that the most complex structure is spiral staircase made of metal, and this applies not only to the design, but also to the manufacture of elements. It is better to entrust the construction of such a device to specialists.
They are single-span and double-span, straight, with a turn. If experience is not enough, then it is better to start construction with a straight single-flight structure. It is also necessary to select a staircase with stringers. This product is reliable, durable and not particularly complex circuit manufacturing.
The most simple example the design is attached metal structure. It is done by welding. To make a two-meter ladder, you will need two pipes with a diameter of 6 centimeters for support and 7 crossbars with a length of 0.7 meters and a diameter of 3 centimeters.
During construction, the top step is welded first. To do this, you need to measure 25 centimeters from the top of each pipe. The remaining steps are welded in the same way: 25 centimeters are set aside from each previous one and the next step is welded.
To create a metal staircase to the second floor with your own hands you will need:
Making a metal staircase with your own hands is quite simple, and it doesn’t matter whether the structure is being built on the porch or on the second floor, only the type of structure changes. The first thing you need to do is decide on the type of structure, depending on its purpose.
Calculations
If you ordered a design calculation from a special company, then such organizations use computer programs to create a design. In such a program, parameters can be easily changed, and after the customer approves the final version, the computer produces drawings.
If you did not contact a design company, but decided to complete the drawings yourself, then it will be a little more complicated. Let's consider performing calculations for the simplest design - a straight single-flight one.
There are standard requirements for calculations
Typical requirements:
- The height of the steps should be 17-18 cm.
- The optimal width of the stairs for private houses is 90 cm.
- The minimum depth of steps is 27 cm.
- The step of the staircase structure is 60-65 cm, this includes the height of the step and riser.
- The optimal angle of inclination of the steps is 30-45°.
- The fence must support a weight of about 100 kg.
- The minimum distance between fence posts is 15 cm.
In addition to the standard requirements, to manufacture a straight single-flight structure, it is necessary to perform the following calculations:
- Fixture length. To do this, you need to calculate two sizes. The first is the distance from the beginning to the end of the stairs (meaning the distance from the first floor to the second). The second is the height between them. You got two numbers. Each one must be squared and then folded. Next, extract the root from the resulting number.
- Number of steps. To do this, it is necessary to divide the resulting length of the device by the selected step height. Optimal height specified in the standard requirements.
- Depth of steps. It is necessary to divide the length of the staircase by the number of steps and see that the resulting figure meets the requirements; if necessary, change the dimensions in the previous paragraph.
The resulting dimensions are needed to determine the amount of material.
Preparatory work
Before starting work, you need to prepare all the necessary equipment. Regardless of the type of structure chosen, some of the frame elements will be connected to each other by seams, so the first and main device when constructing a structure is a welding machine. If you have never done welding before, use a manual inverter; it is easier to use. If you have experience, then you can use any other device that is suitable for welding the metal of your choice.
You should also prepare a mechanical saw, emery wheel and Bulgarian. If you want to make a metal staircase with wooden steps do it yourself, then you will need a clamp and an electric drill, as well as a circular saw and self-tapping screws.
An important stage of the preparatory work is the creation of a project for the future structure. It can be ordered at specialized company, or do it yourself, using suitable drawings from the Internet. Based on the project, you can calculate the required amount of reinforcing steel, metal profiles, and sheet metal. Before starting work, you need to practice welding on unnecessary metal blanks.
Manufacturing of blanks and parts
When calculations and preparatory work completed, it comes to completing the workpieces. We will need to make stringers, for this we need a square profile pipe. The role of support will be performed by iron corners. We will make steps and risers from sheet steel 4 mm wide.
Installation of a metal frame
After completing the calculations and manufacturing the main parts, it is necessary to begin the first stage of frame installation. The simplest staircase design is based on a channel placed on its side, the dimensions of which are 8-10. In the event that you want to finish the staircase, you need to prepare for this sheet metal or wooden boards.
For self-made For metal porches, when covering the stairs, it is recommended to use non-slip materials, such as corrugated metal sheets. Railings and fences for this design are made from angle steel. To make supports for the stair treads, reinforcing steel should be prepared.
- The first stage will be cutting the reinforcement into fillets. These are special supporting devices that are placed on the beam. The required number of fillies, their sizes are selected according to project documentation designs.
- The next step is to weld the mounting containers to the side of the fillet where the step will be placed.
- Then we weld the fillets to the channel; they can also be secured with bolts. On at this stage Pre-made markings will help you.
- Next, attach the next channel to the beam with the fillets attached to it and, if necessary, correct the markings.
Important! If you are going to build a regular staircase with your own hands meter wide, then a few strings or bowstrings will suffice.
We strictly follow the instructions for creating the stairs
If it is planned to erect a larger structure, then there must be at least three support beams.
- The next step is to assemble the metal staircase using welding.
- Then treat the material with a primer and wait until it dries completely.
- Treat the metal with a special anti-corrosion compound.
- Place the building on supports. Can be used as a support metal corners, attached by welding to beams or channel racks.
- The structure is ready, all that remains is to sheathe the steps.
Frame paneling with wood
Various materials are used to cover metal stairs. The most popular is finishing stairs on a metal frame with wood:
- The first thing to do is mark the places on the steps where the bolts will be placed. The pitch should be 15 cm, and the distance between the mounting holes and the end edges should be 2 cm.
- Next, the plywood backing is attached. Fixation is carried out using a special glue that has a filling effect. This composition allows you to eliminate minor imperfections; it does not wrinkle after drying.
- The last step is to fix the wooden overlay on the tread; for this, clamps, screws or bolts are used.
Installation of railings and fences
Most often, wood and metal are used to make railings, less often stone, glass, and PVC.
When making a wooden staircase, the following rules must be observed:
- Fastenings should be made with self-tapping screws, which are covered with wooden plugs.
- The handrail is fixed to the rack with screws. Tenon joints are considered more reliable. Such spikes are lubricated with glue before fastening.
- Filling is carried out from bars or racks.
- If a bowstring is used, the fastening can be done using pins. They are glued into the lower part of the support. After this, the balusters are inserted into the sockets.
- If stringers are used, then installation is carried out on the steps.
If you choose for fencing metal railings, then the assembly is performed as follows:
- Metal fasteners are mounted with bolts or welding.
- First, a 10 cm long hairpin is screwed into the lower part of the post and balusters.
- Then they install top part rack, it is screwed into the step, the pin is removed. These pins serve as a guide for marking.
- Next, follow the markings and drill holes for fastening. metal elements.
- Then the supports are screwed into the treads.
- The posts are trimmed.
- The handrail is attached.
A metal staircase can be equipped with any type of fencing, since metal goes well with various materials. These can be ordinary vertical posts, glass, hand-forged elements, and the structure can also be equipped with throws.
Finally
Based on the above, we can conclude that making a metal staircase with your own hands is quite possible. To do this, it is necessary to study the features and nuances of constructing a particular structure, and by choosing suitable look buildings - strictly follow the instructions.
When choosing interfloor stairs For a private home, it is not always possible to find a ready-made model that ideally meets all the requirements. In such cases The best decision– order a staircase on a metal frame, which will be made taking into account the layout, interior features and personal wishes of the customer. At the same time, the choice of design and design features is practically unlimited.
Manufacturing stairs on a metal frame is quite complex and labor-intensive process, But finished design It turns out to be much stronger and more durable than completely wooden. Even street stairs of this type last for several decades. At individual production stairs on a metal frame, the price is slightly higher, but it will fit perfectly into the interior and correspond to the characteristics of the building.
The main difference from completely wooden stairs is metal base, which provides high strength with compact dimensions. The production of stairs on a metal frame is becoming an increasingly popular service, since they have a number of significant advantages over their wooden counterparts.
The staircase, which has a metal frame with wooden steps, does not contain rubbing surfaces made of wood, so creaking is completely eliminated. After final assembly it turns into a strong and stable structure that can withstand heavy loads for many years.
The Prelesnitsa company sells ready-made staircases, as well as the development and assembly of individual configurations for any layout.
