Stairs and staircases

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY: BEATRIX TORMA

Stairs are one of the oldest and most essential elements in architectural history, and they've always played a central and often symbolic role throughout the ages. The design of stairs always follow the changes in architectural eras, reflecting the technology and raw materials of the given age and, the expertise of the stair builders.

CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION

According to some sources, one of the world's oldest staircases (estimated to be 12,000 years old) was found in southeastern Turkey, but most of the archaeological site remains untouched to this day and hides many secrets. The first stairs invented to overcome the difficulties of the terrain were wooden logs placed side by side.

Wherever we look, stairs have always been necessary throughout the ages, whether for reaching the top of a mountain, an ancient theater, or other high or low objects. Stairs are made of stone, wood, steel, concrete, glass, and countless other materials, but their function has remained the same: to connect different levels.



Iamart's profile includes the renovation of old, historic staircases, the replacement and reproduction of missing or worn elements, and the manufacture of new staircase elements.

The raw materials used by the manufacturer for staircase elements are artificial stone, natural stone, and various types of decorative concrete.

The material used for the staircases in the new wing of the historic building in downtown Pest, which contain green and black marble chips, is Monolit Terrazzo Plus, whose newly manufactured elements in certain parts...

The exterior and interior staircases of the apartment building built in the 1970s on the side of Gellért Hill are made of limestone. The community of residents value and take good care of the building, which is why the interior cladding of the stairwell could be renovated, a new outdoor staircase could be built, and the metal support structure of the staircase could be completely refurbished. 

Iamart used raw materials sourced from domestic mines to create stair elements similar to the original, complementing them with a discreet design element that serves a functional purpose by preventing water from dripping.
