CONTROLLED
MANUFACTURE
Weland straight flight staircases with WUC profiles are manufactured in a computer controlled production line - „from coil to finished stringer“ - fully automatically. This method gives the following advantages: • Low weight and esthetic design • Close tolerances • Large delivery capacity • Short deliveries
ANGLE OF
INCLINATION / RISE
For comfortable passage of staircases there should be a certain ratio between the angle of inclination, the rise and the going. The suitable angle of inclination lies between 30° and 45°, in practice, however, it is often necessary to compromise due to the limited space for the base line.

STANDARD STAIRTREADS
Type TH6 is manufactured from press-welded grating with mesh size 30 x 67 mm. Type TH6-S is manufactured from the same grating, but is provided with a safety front edge marking the front of the tread and giving increased non-slip properties. Standard stairtreads are hot dip galvanized and kept in stock. Stairtreads up to 900 mm length have end plates 60 mm high, from length 1000 mm end plates 70 mm high. Thisapplies to all types of tread.Special type treads can be TH6 manufactured from grating chosen from Weland grating programme (see separate brochure).
WUC profiles are manufactured from 3, 4 or 5 mm steel sheet with height (A) 120 and 170 mm respectively.

DIMENSIONING
For the dimensioning of stringers for a straight flight staircase Building Standards BBR94 and BKR94 apply. Base line, width, load etc. have to be considered. In order to facilitate the dimensioning we have worked out a diagram showing a graph intended to give a lead for choosing the suitable type of stringer. The graph is calculated for a staircase with an effective inclination of 35 degrees.

If for any reason the WUC profile cannot be used, we manufacture stringers also from flat bars or U-shaped profile.

WUC PROFILES
Weland standard straight flight staircases are manufactured with stringers of WUC profile. This profile has been developed with the objective of achieving high stability combined with low weight.
