When some are afraid for the walls of aerated concrete, others are already making stairs out of it. How not to be afraid to fail? I am telling you the nuances.

"How can you use finger-picking material for stairs?" - such a question arose even for me, a supporter of this material. But after all, people do, and everything works, it became interesting ...

Friends, a huge hello to everyone. The choice of staircase design should be approached with the same care as for the same overlap.

Here you need to strike a balance between strength, reliability, and massiveness of the structure.

I still have such a ladder... 😁

✅ Someone prefers the option of "air" structures, especially when there is little space in the house ...

✅ And there are supporters of monumental buildings.

Although, making such a reinforced concrete option is the same as pouring another foundation: expensive, long and difficult.

But it turns out that there is an option to simplify the task.

Here is the same solid staircase, but it is not made of concrete, but of aerated concrete.

✔ Common building blocks are used for such structures. Side walls are laid out from them.

✔ And for the steps themselves, special elements are used.

This is the same aerated concrete, but with reinforcement inside.

Although it seems to me that it can be made from ordinary blocks, simply by reinforcing them with a metal corner on the bottom side.

• The structure is lightweight, there are no loads on the foundation or floor.
• Erected quickly and easily. Normal masonry, no lifting equipment, no formwork, and no waiting for concrete to harden.
• And most importantly, it copes with the task.

Here again the concept of "enough" appears.

✔ After all, in fact, the main thing is to withstand the weight of a person.

✔ Do not change their properties over time (do not start creaking).

Reinforced concrete stairs in this sense fulfill their task with a huge margin, but the aerated concrete option is just enough.

And who is afraid that the blocks will crumble and wear off, then there are a lot of finishing options. The same tiles can be used to decorate and protect everything.

Friends, how do you look at a similar version of the stairs? Write your opinion in the comments, and even more so if you have experience, be sure to share. I still have a staircase, tips will not hurt ...
