installation instructions)
The
arke range of the Klan and Civic spiral staircases and
the Kompact
and Karina modular staircases are designed as self assembly
stairs. They each come with a full instruction manual
and video. Many of our customers do install them themselves
but we also have a professional installation team that
work
throughout the UK and furthermore we can be contacted
directly at any time throughout the installation process
for advice.
We can
also provide a survey service whereby someone can come
and visit you and advise on your particular dimensions
and stair suitability.
The most
important dimensions you need to know when thinking of
a stair is the height you want the stair to be (from floor
to floor) and the width/ diameter of it.
Building
Regulations
All
staircases whether for interior or exterior domestic
use or for commercial
use must comply with certain building regulations. All
our stairs have been tested and comply with the current
relevant British building regulations but please feel
free to contact us with any queries as some configurations
and
dimensions may require extra safety features.
The main
points regarding stairs and regulations are as follows:-
Pitch -
the angle between the pitch line (steepness of stair and
the horizontal/floor line). The maximum pitch for domestic
stairs is 42°,
Going -
the going of a flight of stairs is the horizontal distance
between the face of the first and last risers. The individual
going of a step is measured from face of riser to face
of riser and for domestic use should be a minimum of 220mm
Rise -
the rise of a flight is the vertical distance between the
floors or landings connected by the flight. The individual
rise is the vertical measurement from top of tread to top
of tread. The maximum individual rise for domestic flights
is 220mm.
Individual
Riser Height
UK Building Regulations require that each individual rise must be of
equal height and fall within 170mm to 220mm. these spiral staircases
can be adjusted to this full range.
Clear
Width
UK Building Regulations require a minimum Clear Width on each tread of
600mm for staircases serving one room only.
All
our stairs are fully adjustable to enable the necessary
rise
and going measurements to be made and we can also supply
a number of safety features to further assist in the
safest possible stair assembly.
