Having a commercial space is not as easy as people think. Depending on its function, there are a lot of considerations to keep in mind in terms of building within the space or maintaining it. Commercial spaces follow certain restrictions the government has imposed. They must be code-compliant. Everything, from the handrail to the risers, from the steps to the balusters, should meet certain standards.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shape\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Choosing the shape of your staircase should not be done without thought. You have to consider the function of your building before doing so. You have to ask yourself what the space is for. Straight staircases are the most common types of staircases. As the name suggests, they do not have any intricate shape. The bottom is connected to the top in a straight manner. They are straightforward to build. The good thing about this staircase is that it utilizes only one side of the room. It can be neatly tucked against a wall to conserve space. If your commercial building has limited space, this type is an excellent choice for you. Likewise, the L-shape stairs are also popular. If it can be installed in the corner of a room. The L-shape is a type that is easier to climb. Are you expecting little children or older people to visit your building? Then, you may consider this one!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Material\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The right material of your stairs also greatly depends on the purpose of your building. Concrete, wood, and metal are some of the most common materials used. Does your commercial building have an aesthetic function? Consider wood instead! With wood, you can introduce specific designs to the balusters and handrail. Is your building purely for storage? Maybe you can choose concrete or metal for more durability.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Code standards\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The commercial staircase used by the general public must be compliant with the International Building Code Guidelines. Stairs follow specific standards. For instance, risers must be 4 – 7 inches. The tread depth must be 11 inches minimum. The minimum headroom required for all parts of the stairway must be at least 6 feet 8 inches. Balusters must pass the 4-inch ball test.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The design and build of a commercial staircase must consider multiple factors. Only a professional trained for the job can be trusted to complete this task. A lot is at stake when it comes to building on a commercial space- the safety of the public, the flow of work and business, and much more. That is why any commercial building owner should only rely on reliable and licensed contractors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
