On this page we have some pictures of Open plan staircases.
What is an Open plan
Staircase ?
Open plan is
a staircase with openings where there are normaly risers, Building regulations
state you must not be able to pass a 100mm sphere through the opening,
this is why we have either a Riser downstand or a Bar on the drawings
below. Open Plan Staircases are more expensive than closed staircases
as they take longer to manufacture than closed.
here you can see 2 Beech openplan winder staircases - the Beech used is a 40mm Engineered beech, these have single riser safety bars in stainless steel, this staircase is going to have the Fusion Handrail system for the balustrades.
