Steps
In multi storey houses or buildings, steps are the most convenient way to move
from one floor to another.
There are a lot of factors that must be taken
into consideration while designing the steps . These include
- Height of steps - though it is more economical to have higher steps, as
fewer steps will be needed to bridge the distance between 2 floors, you have to
take into consideration safety. Small children and elderly persons will find it
difficult to climb steep steps.
- Design - depends on who will be using the steps
- Material
Steps within a house will be designed differently
compared to steps in public places which will be subject to more wear and tear.
