    Stairs have made it convenient for the entire world by dividing a large vertical gap into smaller gaps, called steps. Without a staircase, it would be impossible to climb a multi-story building or a tower.

  2. Significance of stairs

    Stairs not only played an imperative role in medieval times to aid the climbing on tall defensive towers or church steeples but still assumed that elevators and escalators cannot replace stairs.

    Even today, many multi-story houses, commercial buildings, and hotels have staircases. In case of an emergency or power loss, only staircases can be used and trusted. Many societies have strict regulations to make staircase construction mandatory; no matter how contemporary you build your house or building, the stair designs are open interpretation.

  3. How many stairs are in a flight?

    The flight of stairs can be defined as an uninterrupted series of stairs. It implies the set of stairs between floors or the set of stairs between landings. There are no fixed criteria of how many stairs would a building includes. Although the flight of stairs is completely regulated by strict government norms and other factors, consisting of a different rule for different applications. Hence, the number of stairs in a flight can vary widely.

    It has been perceived that on an average, 12 to 13  steps happen to be in a flight depending upon the height of the staircase, the purpose of the staircase (using them for a specific purpose such as an emergency purpose including fire escapes), and the location of the stairs (flights of stairs could vary depending upon public and private buildings and among different countries).

  4. Why is it called a ‘flight’ of stairs?

    What is a Flight? It symbolizes a metaphor for a journey upward that only uses the feet instead of wings. So, it is very similar to making people think as if they are ‘flying’ up the stairs while running up a flight of stairs.

  5. Where is the longest Stairway located?

    It is the service staircase of the Niesenbahn railway located in Switzerland. It is world-famous and holds a  Guinness World record with astonishing 11,647 steps.
