The application of the principle of modularity of building structures was to the taste of developers of country houses. Still would! For a short time you can create with your own hands a stunning modular staircase, which will later become the focus of attention of residential space. Do you want some advice on how to build these structures? This information, of course, will interest the real designers.

Modular stair constructions
Modern modular structures attract their accessibility and ease of installation. There is no secret to assembling this type of structure, but you have the opportunity to create your own stylish staircase, which has various modifications.
Like any modular system, the modular ladder consists of independent, structurally completed parts. Modules include elements of decorative design - steps and handrails, as well as reliable attachment elements.
Application of ladder modular
Where can I use and use modular ladders? Yes, almost everywhere, where you want to decorate the interstorey space. Undoubtedly, this is a creative variant of decorating the space between floors in country houses and cottages.
Convenience of the modular ladder to the second floor is confirmed by the practice of living, and if you add significant savings in space, then without a ladder in a country house simply can not do. The design of modular stairs does not interfere with the passage of natural light, so the saturation of the space or the effect of piling is excluded. At the heart of the design is a modular assembly principle that allows you to choose the best variant of decorative design.
This does not prevent to adjust the height of the steps to the "user" parameters of those living in the house.
Ladders model for two-level premises combine the following qualities:
• Versatility and regulation of structural modules
• Excellent integration in interior design
• Accessibility and variety of components
• A democratic price.
Therefore, if in your thoughts you have already begun to erect an interstorey modular ladder, outline the prospective type of staircase and make a simple design calculation.
Types of ladder modular
There are such types of stairs:
• screw
• marching
• with rotation
• with intermediate platforms.
Screw modular ladders are a minimum of space in the interstorey space, however, moving around this type of staircase is somewhat difficult.
Marching (one, two or three) modular staircases are simple straight structures equipped with wide steps and treads. To install this design will require considerable space
Turning stairs or stairs with intermediate platforms are comfortable structures equipped with two or three marches with turning platforms. Very convenient to move, because they occupy a little space. Before you begin to build a modular design, read the basic elements, as well as the assembly instructions from the manufacturer.
Elements of a modular ladder
Modular ladder consists of the following elements, the sequence of installation of which must be observed:
• Top and bottom elements
• Support beams and elements
• intermediate elements
• handrails and bolts.
Using all these elements, the skeleton of a straight ladder, a helical structure, or a G or P-shaped configuration is assembled.
Modular frame
Modular framework or ridge, monocosaur consists of separate modules, connected rigidly to each other by strong bolts. Thus, the frame is in the assembled form a single rigid structure. Such a foundation allows the erection of inter-storey modular ladders of graz with a height of up to 6 m.
Sequential installation, alignment and subsequent fixing of modules create a ridge. Further, the steps are fastened, and then the handrails and the bolts.
There are the following ways to fasten the ladder modules:
• using the fixing screws
• using clamping modules
• connection using studs
Top Module it is intended for fastening the upper part of the modular ladder. Fastening is carried out to the interfloor overlapping or to the wall. The upper module can be used to fix the monocosaur to the wall in the absence of installation of the underfloor beams.
Lower element consists of a floor base, a clamp and a riser. To fabricate the upper and lower modules, a steel material with a wall thickness of 3 mm is used. As the first modular element from below, the bottom element secures the ladder directly to the floor. The height of the lower module is adjustable. This allows you to adjust the width of the tread, smoothly reducing or increasing the distance.
It is recommended to set the following dimensions of the modular ladder, which can be called ideal:
• step height up to 20 cm.
• The width of the step is up to 26 cm.
The length of the step will depend on the chosen type of ladder. So for a helical modular ladder the length of the step can reach 120 cm, for a marching or a turning step up to 150 cm, taking into account the angle of inclination.
Rigidity of the ladder construction is provided by supporting pipes and beams, which are installed vertically with an interval of 1-1.5 running meters. As a rule, these are 3, 5 and 9 steps.
The main function pillar supporting is the maintenance of the bottom of the Kosoura. The support post is attached to the floor from the bottom, and from above harmoniously fits into the ridge module, where it is clamped. The support post is installed under the turn or turntable. For the spiral staircase, the support post is the central element of the supporting structure. Support posts are connected without using welding with the use of special high-quality fasteners and adjusted to a specific module.
It should be remembered that the starting elements of the ladder are the initial and final modules. The number of intermediate steps is chosen based on the height of the ceilings of the house or cottage and your design projects.
How to build a modular ladder
The assembly of the modular ladder can be done by oneself, excluding complicated calculations of the placement of structural elements, and most importantly using the available tools of the home Master.
Understand the basic elements of the modular ladder is not difficult. The elements of the modular ladder are somewhat reminiscent of the well-known designer, so the thoughtfulness of the assembly during assembly guarantees the final "work" - the ladder leading to the second floor. Manufacturers of modular ladders took care of the quality of the assembly themselves.
assembly workflow
The location of the central support is determined. To do this, in the opening of the upper interfloor overlap, two strings are pulled diagonally.
The point of intersection of the diagonals of the cords will indicate the location of the thrust flange.
Having connected the found center with the center of the thrust flange, we mount and fix the flange with stop screws. Determine the location of the first stage. At this point, you simply place the step on the floor, and then put it on the fixed flange. The process has gone! We insert the central support through the flange and the first stage, and then the second and all subsequent ones.
The steps are firmly fixed with nuts in the places specified by the manufacturer. Having consistently installed all the steps, mount the pad on the support rod, fixing it to the walls of the existing opening. The final stage is the fastening of fencing elements, handrails and handrails.
Therefore, having read the instructions, you can start assembling the stairs. Help in this proposed video.
