Despite the simplicity and associated lower cost, there are many considerations when selecting a straight staircase. Open sides, against a wall, between two walls, or with a half or quarter landing? Are the treads to be open or closed? Although straight flights of stairs are simple in design, many options are available. Ottawa Valley Handrailing understands this and constructs straight staircases that are functional and can be utilitarian or elegant, depending on what you are looking for.

The presence of one long flight makes this staircase limited in height. In accordance with the Ontario Building Code, the height of a straight staircase is limited to 3.7m (12ft 2”) without a break (e.g. landing) [OBC 9.8.3.3].

Simple and useful, straight stairs are easy to navigate and will get you from point A to point B. They cannot be too long, as they become heavy, so they may need to be broken into different flights. Although straight stairs are the most obvious design of staircase, there are still variants to be considered.

Straight stairs may stand alone, be built along one wall, or rise between two walls. They may be open or closed, and they may require landings that either continue in a straight line or turn the climber before the next flight. They may be basic or have added features that add uniqueness to the look.
