Stair Gallery: Curved Stairs

A True Radius Curve Stair follows the arc of a circle

width="104"

A Combination Curved and Straight Stairway may be used in some cases depending on space.
Though these stairs can be distinctive and solve space issues, they will often cost more than a true radius stair
and the pitch change where radius and straight sections join will require careful CAD planning to give a graceful
rail transition.

 

Supported Staircases have weight bearing walls underneath them, usually enclosing
a closet, half bath or basement stairwell beneath.
Inside Radius Free-Standing Staircases feature only the inside radius of the stair as free-standing while the outside radius is supported.
Free-standing Staircases do not have any intermediate supports. The staircase must bear its own weight and provide stability without the structural support of a wall. These staircases must be carefully designed and may require engineering studies and the use of structural steel support.
