Building Construction 1
Building of Stairs
A stair’s design is heavily affected by its function. A highly visible entry
stairway that handles all up-and-down foot traffic is bound to be much grander
than a rarely-seen stairway to a basement.
It is how these parts are built and combined that gives a stairway its style and
individuality. Of course, not all stairways have all of these parts. For
example, some stairways have open risers.
The form a staircase takes is determined by the home’s design, the builder’s
skill, the amount of space available, and the budget.
