Traditionally stair rods were used to hold a carpet runner on stairs but with superior carpet installation techniques and more rigid safety standards today, stair rods serve primarily a decorative purpose. Stair rods, however, are still an integral part of many installation techniques. They hide dimples in the carpet runner caused by installation staples or nail heads and they are also often required to conceal a pattern mismatch when the carpet runner is cut during installation at each step where the tread meets the riser. Stair rods consists of a long bar, either solid core or tube hollow core , and brackets used to hold the bar in place. The brackets are installed on either side the carpet runner directly on the wood of the step. The brackets hold the bar that lies across the carpet runner firmly in place. A decorative finial end is commonly attached or integrated into the ends of the bar or attached to the outside of the brackets to give a more decorative and less industrial look. Materials used in stair rods can be steel, iron, wood, aluminum, or brass.

Background Image combo stair 2.jpg thumb 250px right Floor plan of typical combination stair. Large, traditional houses were frequently designed with two stairs a formal front stairway for use by the family and guests and a utilitarian back stair for use by household staff. The combination stair is a T shaped compromise design popular in the nineteenth century that was found in some moderate sized houses. ref Convenient Houses with Fifty Plans for the Housekeeper , Louis H. Gibson, 1889 ref In this design, both the formal front stair and the utilitarian back stair ran to a common intermediate landing . One common stair then extended from this intermediate landing to the second floor of the house. Current usage The combination stair became less common in the 20th century. As houses became less formal and household staff became less common, the need for both front and back stairs declined. Many houses were designed with a single stair for common use. However, since the 1980s, house sizes have increased significantly and designs have become more elaborate and more complex. Multiple stairs are becoming more common once again. Combination stairs are occasionally seen in new house designs. References Reflist br element arch stub Category Architecture stubs Category Stairways Category Architectural elements ... more details
