Ladder from the profile the hands
Any modern construction project involves the arrangement of staircases connecting the floors of a residential building. At the same time for the manufacture of the frame of the span are used the most technologically advanced materials, which include the profile tube.
In this article, you will learn how to make a staircase from a shaped pipe, and also you will be able to get acquainted with all the advantages of the described construction.
The interfloor structures made of pipes look great in the interiors of modern summer houses, office buildings and other buildings. In addition, for the manufacture of stairs of this class today is widely used metal profile section 60x40 mm, the size of which is considered the most optimal.
Such a choice is explained by the fact that for smaller sizes the structural strength decreases, and the profiles of higher dimension make it too bulky and heavy.
Advantages of profiled structures
Choosing a pipe for arranging a flight of stairs will provide you with a number of absolute advantages:
- high strength and reliability of structures of this class;
- good performance and durability;
- the use of streamlined technologies that significantly reduce time and labor costs;
- the possibility of varying the configuration of the spans using modern decorative elements;
- quite reasonable price.
The technologies used in profile production allow the possibility of dyeing it in any color (by powder spraying). At the same time you will be able to choose the color optimally combined with the interior of the room you are building.
Note that silver, gold and black colors are currently considered the most fashionable.
Also note that this design provides the possibility of preparing a direct march, allowing you to change the direction of its installation by 90 and 180 degrees.
Work organization
When mounting the base (frame) of the ladder design, the profile tubes are installed and fixed on the platform in pairs, after which steps from the material selected by the developer are mounted to them.
The order of the preparation of the frame may be as follows:
- preliminary marking and cutting of blanks,
- installation of frames under the steps,
- manufacturing steps
- their installation and welding.
Such an order of work organization implies the obligatory use of welding equipment, as well as possession of skills in handling it.
Manufacturing procedure
As an example, we suggest you to consider the technique of manufacturing stairs with steps made of wood and a frame made of shaped pipes. The frame base of this design is a pipe with a diameter of 60 mm in combination with a corner having a size of 40x40 mm.
The process of arranging such a structure includes the following operations:
- First of all, the required number of steps is calculated, as well as their main dimensions (height and width).
- After that, you can proceed to pouring a concrete platform, which acts as the base of the whole structure and provides the required angle of inclination. The level of this platform is the zero mark on which the first step of the ladder will be placed.
- Immediately after this, you can proceed to the installation of the pipe, which is welded to the tabs on the platform on one side, and attached to the anchors tightly fixed in the wall on the other.
- After that, metal corners are welded to the pipe, all dimensions of which must be maintained with a given accuracy.
- Upon completion of the main works, fences (railings) are mounted on the side of the frame, which can be made of both wood and metal.
Design features
Note that due to the installation of the railing on the side of the supporting frame, you will be able to increase the working width of the staircase. It should also be borne in mind that a passage should be left between the finished structure and the wall in order not to interfere with the ongoing repair work. In order to avoid vibrations that sometimes occur when moving, it is recommended to limit the length of racks in the spans.
In addition, for the manufacture of stairs from shaped pipes, you will definitely need auxiliary materials, among which glass, wood, stone and even ceramics are most often used. The use of any of these materials not only enhances the performance advantages of any design, but also provides it with a completely modern and attractive look.
