How to Choose Stair Materials

1. Is the material of stairs environmentally friendly?

The material of stairs is often easily overlooked. Remember not to let the stairs emit harmful chemicals. The environmental protection of stair materials is very important!

2. Will the stairs make noise?

Domestic stairs should not only be strong, safe and beautiful, but also not make too much noise when going up and down the stairs. The noise of stairs is related to the material and overall design of the tread board, and also to the connection between components. The mainstream necking stairs, chord stairs, etc. on the market have some sound and elasticity to some extent. If conditions permit, it is best to use solid wood staircase or double-beam steel and wood stairs.

Step 3 eliminate sharp corners

All parts of the stairs should be smooth and round, without protruding and sharp parts, so as to avoid accidental injury to users (especially the elderly and children).

4. Use handrails that feel warm.

If metal (such as stainless steel handrails) or acrylic crystal handrails are used as stair handrails, it is best for manufacturers to do some surface treatment, especially in the north. The cold feeling of metal in winter can make people feel particularly uncomfortable.

5. Correct and professional installation method

Choose stairs and choose the installation method of stairs. Quick and convenient installation is good for you and your neighbors. Adopt convenient installation method to minimize noise and dust during installation. However, there are potential safety hazards in the installation process of the stairs that need to be welded, and the smell and dust are also pollution to the home environment. Therefore, it is recommended to use the finished stairs assembled directly on site.

Principles to be followed

1. It is best to choose fine-grained, shiny and hard wood for the handrail of stairs. The surface pattern of this kind of wood not only makes people feel elegant, but also promotes air circulation and family luck.

2. In order to make the stairs more visual, columns and railings can choose different colors and different wooden materials.

3. Ensure that pedals, skirting boards and handrails are made of hardwood. Pedal should be pressed and finger-jointed, so as to ensure that it will not crack and deform in the future. The footboard or skirting board made of solid wood will not crack and deform, which is safer and has long service life.

4. It is best to use fewer steps made of stone and metal, and use wooden steps with slow air supply. Wood comes from nature, and materials such as metal will bring some sharp gas fields more or less, and will also bring some suffocation, which will adversely affect the health of family members, so the material of wooden steps is better.

5. The material selection of stairs should be consistent with the style of the whole home environment. If the material of the stairs is too dazzling and the decoration is too attractive, it will not only produce the feeling of grandstanding, but also make the family feel uncomfortable about the stairs in their daily lives; The decorative materials of stairs should also be based on residential areas. For a spacious house with a large area, you can choose more gorgeous double handrails and add dado when designing stairs. In order to effectively increase the width of the stair surface, stair handrails can also be installed at the end.

6. Stair materials should be environmentally friendly: the "furniture" of stairs is also composed of many "materials". Many solid wood pedals have been painted and have certain pollutants. When choosing the style of stairs, we should pay attention to whether the materials are made of environmentally friendly materials and whether the manufacturing process is environmentally friendly. If the stairs use paint or materials harmful to human body, the stairs will emit chemicals harmful to human body, which will not only affect the feng shui at home, but also affect the health of family members.

Stairs should be made of incombustible materials. Stair materials should not only be strong and safe, but also make a silent sound when stepping on them. The connection of all parts of the stairs must be good and the safety performance must be high.

7. Use precious materials for stairs: Precious wood can not only prolong the service life of stairs, but also enhance the taste of home improvement. Wood with hard texture and beautiful natural patterns, such as rosewood, teak, walnut, cherry, sandalwood, or precious wood, such as beech, Southeast Asian flamingo, camellia, Sabili, Cologne, Toona sinensis, etc., are all suitable as the materials for stairs. If you like white-wrapped stairs, you can choose imported pine, basswood or other non-patterned, light or colorless materials for oil blending.

How to calculate the price of stair decoration?

The price of stairs now has the following three algorithms:

1, set pricing

At present, the specifications of domestic commercial housing and villas are basically the same, that is, the height of duplex structure (from the first floor to the second floor) is generally between 2.7 and 3 meters, and that of villas is between 2.8 and 3.2 meters. Therefore, the stair manufacturer designed a fixed stair according to this specification, and quoted it as a complete set of stairs. If customers have special requirements or changes, they can make corresponding adjustments.

2. Pricing by piece

This is the common practice of foreign stair manufacturers, that is, to make a very detailed quotation according to all the components of stairs, including general columns, large columns, small columns, railings, handrails, pedals, risers, column heads, column tails, connectors and even small expansion screws. In China, this practice is rare.

3. Step pricing

This is the most common practice in China at present, which is to average the price of stairs to each step. How many steps are there in your stairs, then the final total price is the unit price of steps multiplied by the number of steps.

After understanding the quotation of stairs, we can see that the price of stairs is actually directly related to the number of steps. The bigger the space, the more steps, and the total price will naturally increase.

When determining the number of steps, you need to consider the materials. Now the common materials are all steel, all wood, some glass and steel-wood structure. All-steel stairs have the lowest price, and all-wood stairs are the most expensive. The price of glass stairs depends on the quality of glass, and the price varies greatly.

The shape of stairs is also an important factor affecting the price. The cost difference between straight wooden stairs and rotating wooden stairs is twice, because the handrail technology of rotating stairs is complicated, each pedal needs three columns, and the size of pedals is also a waste of raw materials.

Stair brand recommendation

At present, the well-known stair brands on the market are Zappo, Deng Jie, Yiji, Liu Weide Power and Jujia. Most of them are enterprises in Shanghai. According to industry insiders, there are actually many enterprises that produce stairs in China, but they are not specialized in stairs, and the prices are relatively cheap. Generally, the price of each set of finished stairs ranges from 3,000 yuan to 6,543.8+0,000 yuan. Imported stairs are more expensive, with an average price of 20,000 yuan, and those made of solid wood and fine workmanship can even be sold for more than100,000 yuan.
