How to choose safe stairs?

March 03, 2020

To perform indoor or outdoor work, we often need convenient ladders that must be particularly sturdy and reliable in order to save our lives and avoid unnecessary injuries as much as possible.

At first glance, the "risk" of our own lives for stairs may seem insignificant, but it never hurts to be careful, and that's why we recommend that you choose stairs with solid treads.

Despite the fact that the construction market offers a wide selection of ladders, one of the most convenient ladders that consumers most often mention is the so-called telescopic ladder, which can be used anywhere. In our recommendation, it is definitely worth purchasing a telescopic ladder due to its versatility and ease of use.

Types of stairs

There are many categories of classification:

According to the material;
By design;
According to height;
According to the purpose.

Ladders are divided into two types of models: household and professional.

Household models - are lightweight, with weak connections and without any additional fasteners. In addition, they are low, made of cheap materials and are intended for occasional use. Basically, such types of ladders can withstand only up to 100 kg of weight .

Professional models - designed for loads of more than 120 kg, used for installation and construction work. The ladders use strong alloys that can handle more serious tasks.

Depending on the materials, there are the following types of steps:

metal;
Plastic;
Wooden;
Combined.

Wooden stairs

A wooden staircase is a relatively common type, without which a private house or a country house is unthinkable . To make it, you need minimal knowledge, a few wooden materials and tools. If you are making a staircase from wood, then you will need a hand saw and other tools for connecting wooden structures, but in the case of making a metal staircase, you will need a metal cutting tool and also a welding machine.

Advantages:

Mobile and lightweight;
It is cheap;
Long-term usability.

Disadvantages:

Low load capacity;
Poor stability;

Despite its shortcomings, this equipment is still popular and can be found in almost every private home. Typically, household ladders are compact and durable, with a height of about 2 meters. The height of the ladder depends entirely on the number of steps in it.

Telescopic ladders are often used in homes. They are different and are designed to solve small household problems, as well as for repair work. Depending on the materials, they are designed for people of different weights.

Convenient transportation options;
Light weight and small size;
Wide functionality;

There are professional ladders with two or three steps. The first can reach a height of 8 meters, and the second - 10.5 meters.

Reliability and safety

Household injuries are not uncommon when people use tables instead of ladders. Therefore, you should choose a safe model that will prevent injuries.
