Practically every modern building is supplied with stairways of some kind. A stairway is designed to provide a means of access between different floor levels of a building. Nowadays stairways are produced of various con¬struction materials but the most popular among them are timber and rein¬forced concrete. Of them timber may be used for domestic stairs of all kinds because of its economical availability. As to reinforced concrete it is popular because of its durable qualities, great resistivity to decay and great resistance to fire. It should be taken into account that domestic timber stairs must be designed for safe and comfortable use by people of different ages.

What is required of stair construction? The main requirements are the following. Firstly, there should be guaranteed equal rise for every step and landing. Secondly, the maximum pitch length to the horizontal must be 42°. Thirdly, stair length must include not less than two rises and not greater than sixteen.

ЛЕСТНИЦА

Практически каждое современное здание снабжено лестницами того или иного типа. Они предназначены для обеспечения средств доступа к различным уровням здания. На сегодняшний день лестницы изготавливаются из разнообразных строительных материалов, но наиболее популярными среди них являются древесина и железобетон. Из этих двух материалов древесина, ввиду своей экономической доступности, может быть использована для изготовления лестниц для дома всех видов.
