Staircases come in all heights, widths, and
configurations. The form they take is determined by the builder's taste, the
amount of space available, and the budget for building them. |

A grand circular staircase can be
very impressive as it sweeps down from the floor above. A staircase that
runs straight from one floor to the next is easy to build but takes up
space unless the risers are very steep. Stairs that stop at a landing and
turn 180 or 90 degrees take up less space and can be safer. A spiral
staircase is economical, but it is not easy to climb and is not practical
for moving large objects from one floor to another. |
