Straight staircase - why?

Whether the staircase has a straight or winding flight does not matter when walking on it. What is important is that the dimensions of the rise and tread are calculated correctly.

As a user of a half-turned staircase, I see it somewhat differently.
With a straight staircase, the steps are uniform and every step is even.
With a winding staircase, I experience it similarly, but only when I walk in the middle of the staircase. On the outside or inside, it varies. Now, sometimes you carry things upstairs (e.g., vacuum cleaner, laundry baskets, child, travel bag, etc.). Then you may no longer walk in the middle and, in my opinion, have to be far more careful not to slip accidentally. Children also do not walk in the middle.
Straight staircases only make sense in larger houses. Therefore, that was not an option for us.

From my point of view, it feels easier to walk. One might consider that insignificant, but I’m happy every time :-).

You mean like a Southern States villa, manufacturer’s villa ...? Sure, that makes an impression. It’s just not for a single-family house.

Also not for Hartz4 recipients ;)

Best regards in brief

Yes, I have to admit, we had a half-spiral staircase in our old rental apartment. I slipped down this staircase twice and my husband once with full force. And not just a little, no - a real bang! 3 weeks of bandages the first time, bruises and a headache the second time. That was no joke. But in my opinion, this staircase was simply too narrow for the turns. I think only 90 wide.

Ask me. After the 2nd time sailing down (1x with vacuum cleaner), [Antirutschstreifen] were put on our stairs because they were so slippery. The advantage was that, due to the winding, I could catch myself at the curve. On a straight staircase, I would have landed at the bottom.

You can also fall down straight stairs very easily - especially the whole way. No winding will stop you :D

Yes, so ours was straight in the middle and only twisted 1 m at the top and bottom. I sailed from the top edge around the curve to the bottom. It was no problem around the curve. :confused: *ouch*
