Trä- eller ståltrappa – vad ska man välja?
Choosing the type of stairs you want in your home is an exciting process. Wooden stairs provide a warm, traditional feel, while steel stairs offer modern durability and flexibility. Whether you prefer a minimalist or industrial look, steel stairs can be customized to fit your needs perfectly in your home. We at Drömtrappor help you find the right variant!
The choice of material for the stairs plays a big role in how the interior is perceived. Wooden stairs blend naturally into a traditional house and convey a feeling of warmth. Steel stairs create a combination of durability, flexibility and aesthetics, which gives a more modern and minimalist impression. Ultimately, it's an aesthetic choice.
Steel stairs construction
Steel and wooden stairs are similar, but there are fundamental differences in both construction and appearance. The load-bearing details of a staircase wholly or partly in steel can be produced in most designs and shapes. In many cases where a traditional wooden staircase needs the support of posts to the floor, a staircase with a steel structure can support itself. For example, a U-stair with a landing in the middle only needs one wall on the long side of the landing to stand stable, compared to the wooden staircase's requirement of three walls.
Steel stairs with the possibility of adaptation
Steel stairs offer a sharp combination of durability, flexibility and aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for modern homes. Whether you're going for a minimalist and stripped-down look or a more industrially robust design, the steel staircase can be customized to meet your specific needs and preferences. With the possibility of combining steel with wooden steps, you not only create a visually appealing solution, but also a staircase that is comfortable and inviting to use.
If the stairs are to be placed in an interior that emphasizes minimalism, the 10-12 mm thick steel handrail gives a stripped-down impression. The dimension and treatment of the steel can be customized as desired, enabling a transition from a minimalist to an industrial look. In most cases, a steel construction is supplemented with wooden steps, which offer a significantly warmer and softer surface to walk on compared to steel steps. The steel stairs can be powder coated in any RAL colour.
Steel railings for wooden stairs
It is perfectly possible to combine wooden stairs with steel railings. Perforated sheet metal (PP), flat steel (PS) or welded mesh (SN) are three variants that are compatible with an all-wood staircase. Depending on light penetration and the position of the stairs, it may be good to keep in mind that flat steel railings, with vertical bars, offer the most light penetration. Welded mesh is, in turn, thinner than perforated sheet metal.
