Many homes simply don’t have the square footage for a standard staircase. If spatial constraints are an issue in your home, this can make traditional straight flights, or mid-floor landings, unrealistic choices. However, there are still some great options available with our range of space saving staircases. Practical and attractive paddle stairs can still have the effect you’re looking for, whilst taking up far less space than their more conventional counterparts. Abbott-Wade were formed in 1996 and since then they have been designing, supplying and installing paddle stairs in homes up and down the country. As the name suggests, spacing saving stairs are perfect for homes with limited space. Because of this, many homeowners decide to utilise glass into the design to create a further impression of increased space. Normally this is combined with timber steps to create a strong and durable flight of stairs. Space Saving Stairs DesignIf you are to safely and correctly go up or down paddle stairs, then because the steps are alternating you must use the staircase in line with the position of each thread. Part of the step that you are not stepping on is shortened as part of the design process which saves space. The staircase needs to be positioned appropriately so that any swings of the door don’t hit the front of the staircase. In the UK, you can also choose to build staircases with open risers but remember to ensure that a 100mm ball cannot go through these gaps. The height of stairs in the UK is regulated by Building Regulations Approved Document K, which is a set of guidelines published by the UK government that provides recommendations for the design and construction of stairs, ramps, and guards in buildings. The document covers a wide range of topics related to safety and accessibility, including the dimensions of stairs and steps, the requirements for handrails and guardrails, and the design of ramps for wheelchair users. The biggest benefit of paddle stairs is obvious – they take up less space than a linear or modular staircase. The steeper gradient means a flight of paddle stairs can be up to half the size of a traditional flight, saving at least a third of that space for other things.
