Recently, I have been in contact with some customers who are purchasing stairs. During the first meeting with these clients, I always ask them what they consider to be the most critical aspects when choosing a staircase. Without exception, their answers typically revolve around color, aesthetics, and quality, with almost no mention of installation. In reality, installation is one of the most crucial aspects of staircases. No matter how beautiful or well-matched to your home the staircase is, and regardless of its quality, it remains a semi-finished product until it is installed in your home.
Moreover, the quality of installation directly affects the safety of the staircase. Stairs not only make homes appear larger and more beautiful but also serve as a bridge. You go up and down the stairs several times a day, especially after a busy day outside, returning home perhaps for maternity services abroad [http://www.yzteb.com], you would naturally hold onto the handrail while climbing the stairs. If the staircase is not properly installed, there will certainly be safety hazards.
Since installation is so important, choosing the right manufacturer when purchasing a staircase becomes crucial. Smaller manufacturers generally do not have professional installers; they often hire random roadside crews to do the job. Can such an arrangement guarantee the quality of your installation? If you're lucky, you might get a skilled craftsman, but if not, you could end up with someone inexperienced installing your staircase, which would definitely pose safety risks. On the other hand, large manufacturers employ installation workers who have undergone professional training and compete for their positions. For example, Yitong's installation workers not only undergo training but also use installation methods researched by a technical team to ensure the safest and most aesthetically pleasing results. Below, I will briefly introduce a couple of Yitong's installation techniques.
**Handrail Connection:** At 2.5 cm from the end of the handrail, drill a round hole that is 3.5 cm in diameter and 3 cm deep. Use a metal rod that is 7.5 cm long and 0.8 cm in diameter to connect the handrails. The two sides are fixed with crescent pads and nuts. Besides the metal rod connection, there are threaded positioning pins on both sides to increase friction. The metal rod prevents the handrail from moving up and down, while the solid wood positioning pin prevents lateral movement.
**Connection between balusters and treads:** For every three balusters [http://www.xx0.org], one is connected using a metal rod, and the other two are connected using solid wood [http://www.dcuan.com] pins. The metal rod is 0.8 cm in diameter and 6 cm long. At the bottom of the baluster, there is a wooden pin that is 1.2 cm in diameter and 5 cm long. A square hole with a diameter of 1.2 cm is drilled 6 cm from the end of the tread for insertion.
