     Staircase concrete or suspended staircase?:

     During the establishment of a project of construction or refitting of a house, the question can arise between the installation of a staircase concrete or of another type of staircase.
     
     Hardly of its 18 years of experiences, Ascenso provides you with this comparative degree which, we hope for it, will allow you to opt for the best solution.

 - stairs and risers tiled or
   dressed in wood

     Our regular presence on fairs and home furnishing exhibitions, brings us to meet numerous private individuals in the impasse, these, having chosen the staircase concrete in one marigolds of economy, meet themselves in front of a difficulty, that to find crawling quality lifelines in a moderate price.

     In certain case, the staircase concrete is chosen by obligation, to obtain a waterproof separation with the lower level, or still to fit out arrangements under the staircase. In it, two solutions for those who want to install a suspended staircase :

               - In the first case: the door of the basement has to be to fit out before or from the staircase concrete, this to open the staircase of the basement on the livable parts (see photo)

               - in the case of arrangements: a piece of furniture can very well come to line up under the staircase, this one can even be customized and stick on the slope of the staircase. The solution of a contemporary staircase with risers is also possible.
