Ornamental staircases, designs and materials used.

July 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Staircases in interior and exterior environments take pride of place and can be a real focal point of any home or work place. Depending on where your stairs are positioned in your home, different designs and styles can be used and different styles of staircases can be installed. The type and design of stairs you have will largely depend on the position of your stairs and the space and place they are positioned.

There are many different types of ornamental staircases and all can be made from different materials. Stainless steel, Aluminium, wood and glass are all materials used in the design and manufacture of ornamental staircases.  Some ornamental staircases use both glass and stainless steel in their design whilst others may use wood and aluminium.

Different designs will also create different ambiences and can suit contemporary and traditional settings, it is always advisable to choose a design that fits in and suits the style of the building and decor especially in exterior environments.

Stainless steel handrails can be finished in a variety of colours to suit and match any existing decor; the coloured handrails are particularly popular in exterior environments. Different stainless steel finishes can also be used to create certain looks.  A wide variety of patterns and designs can also be incorporated on stainless steel and the designs are endless. Any stainless steel handrails are particularly ideal for exterior environments because they are durable and will not rust and corrode. Stainless steel is also a very easy material to clean and maintain.

Any glass partitions used in stair designs can be a variety of colours and can be clear, frosted and have different designs.

There is also the option to replace stair handrails and not the whole stairs which can be more cost effective and have excellent results.  Wood is a very common material used in the manufacture of handrails and will give a soft, warm feel to a home. Stainless steel can add a real modern and minimalistic feel to any home and there seem to be more design choices available for stainless steel handrails.

Always remember that as well as having a decorative purpose, ornamental staircases and handrails serve a purpose and have to fulfil all safety regulations. Always seek advice when designing any ornamental staircases or handrails. All good manufacturing companies will be able to guide you through the process effortlessly and help you plan and carry out your renovation project.
