Brief History of Spiral Staircases
Curved staircases, including spiral designs, have a rich architectural history dating back to ancient Rome, with early examples like Trajan’s Column. Originally built for function and defense, they evolved into decorative elements during the Renaissance and remain a striking feature in modern architecture. Today, they’re valued not only for their space-saving design but also for the elegance and flow they bring to both residential and commercial spaces.
When Spiral Staircases Became Popular
Historians believe that spiral staircases became truly popular in the Middle Ages, even though they have existed for 3,000 years. To reach the top, many can find spiral staircases in castles or old towers attached to the walls. It was deployed as a defensive measure to stop a large group of attackers from charging in at once.
During attacks, the narrow spiral staircases make it impossible for the enemies to launch attacks as they must go up the stairs one at a time. At the same time, the tiny space makes it harder for them to wield their weapons properly. These defensive stairs are designed where the right hand or sword hand is at the narrowest part of the stairs, which is why the stairs are in a clockwise direction.
The Use of Spiral Staircases for the Wealthy
With spiral staircases being incorporated with kings and queens of medieval times, the wealthy also began to have these built in their own homes. One of the most outstanding examples is the Chateau de Chambord in the Loire Valley. It was built in the early 16th Century and took the form of two spiral staircases, which are intertwined to form a double helix.
During Victorian times, spiral staircases made of cast iron became famous for homes and public structures. These can be made according to the customer’s specifications and designed with elaborate finishes. Therefore, they became a functional and beautiful choice at the same time.
Modern Spiral Staircases
In the latter part of the 20th Century, the steel frames of custom spiral staircases became cost-effective to produce. During this time, they became a more prominent feature in a much broader market, often found in modern houses and residential buildings. At the same time, they became a standard feature as fire escape stairs in many structures.
