Log cabins do not need
staircases. Your home does. Rarely will one floor give you the living
space your family needs. A second (and perhaps third) story will give
you the room you need to live in comfort. Obviously that means, the home
will have a staircase. But a stairway is not just a functional part of
the home, like the roof. It is an integral part of the interior and an
architectural and design feature that contributes greatly to the look
and ambience of the house. With the variety of materials and design
options available today, the right staircase can enhance the style of
your home.
Change the Staircase – Change the Home
One of the most effective ways of giving your home a
new look and feel is to change or renovate the staircase. This can be
done either as part of a home remodeling project or as a standalone job.
Installing a new staircase is more than just construction. It must be
done with some knowledge of design and the use of the right materials to
maximize the aesthetic appeal. This can only be done by a company that
specializes in staircase design, construction and renovation.
When a new staircase is to be installed, there are a
number of factors that need to be taken into account at the planning
stage itself. The first is, of course, the budget. Rather than looking
at the money available and allocating an arbitrary amount for the new
staircase, it makes sense to talk to people who are experts in this
field. They will be able to take a holistic view of your home, your
needs and your budget to suggest a number of options for you to
consider. Often the ideas offered to you will provide you with a type of
staircase that you did not know existed at a cost that is ideal for
you.
Then, there is the issue of the location. Just because
your existing staircase is at one place does not mean that there are no
other options available. Staircase experts may be able to suggest
another location that could save space, be more convenient and also add
to your home’s appeal.
And then we come to design and materials. Terms such as
Hanging Stairs, Tree Stairs, Spiral Slide Staircase, Sloping Stairs
and so on may be new and unknown to you, but not to experts. They will
be able to show you the various designs that will work in your home and
tell you about the benefits of each. Are your family great readers? Are a
huge number of books cluttering up your home? Maybe a Bookcase
Staircase will offer you a solution to your problems.
What materials appeal to you? Which ones will work best
in your home? You need someone who knows wood, stainless steel, wrought
iron, aluminum, glass etc. to show you the options and help you make
the right choices.
It’s Your Home
A problem with many remodelers and staircase
construction companies is that they drown you with technical jargon and
when you are feeling inundated and lost, they push you towards a
staircase design and materials that they think will suit you. Your home
belongs to you and while advice is always welcome, the final decisions
must be yours. That is why a company that has a professional, client
oriented approach is the best. A company that is happy to spend time
working with you to help (and not force) you to make the right choices
is a company you can trust. The fact that a company is not limited to
doing what they want, but what you want, means that it is not restricted
to only some types of staircase projects. It is one that has the
experience, expertise and abilities to do what you want.
You will not be changing staircases like you do
curtains. Your new staircase needs to last, and look good, for many
years to come – usually for as long as you continue to live in your
home. A company that specializes in staircase design, construction and renovation will be able to provide you with this.
