What is a helical staircase?
A helical staircase is simply a formal name for a curved staircase, and takes its name from its similarity to a helix, which typically follows a circular path and revolves around a central axis that is empty or is occupied by other non-structural elements of the staircase.
What is the difference between helical and spiral staircases?
The key difference between a spiral staircase and a helical staircase is that a spiral staircase has a central column supporting the treads whereas a helical staircase has a void in the middle and therefore has no central column.
How are helical staircases supported?
Helical staircases are supported by treads that are sandwiched between and supported by two stringers. These can be made of a wide variety of materials, however, stainless steel is the most popular option.
What are the advantages of a helical staircase?
The main benefit of a helical staircase is that it optimises the space in which it consumes. Helical and spiral staircases typically need a smaller footprint compared to other types of stairs.
How much space is needed for a helical staircase?
Although the minimum radius to be considered is 70 centimetres, you should always give preference to stairs with at least 80 centimetres radius. It must also take into account a minimum height of 2.15 meters between the steps and the roof, or the upper steps.
