How do I identify a left-hand or right-hand winder staircase?

The winding direction of a staircase is always determined from the user's perspective when ascending:

Right-hand winder: Standing at the bottom in front of the first step, the run leads to the right -- the staircase turns clockwise.

Left-hand winder: The run leads to the left when going up -- the staircase turns anticlockwise.

This principle applies to all winder types: quarter-turn, half-turn, and three-quarter-turn. The specification is important because it determines the position of the wall stringer, the location of the railing, and the installation position of the staircase.

During the consultation, HTS helps you determine the correct winding direction for your room situation -- based on the position of the deck opening and the desired exit direction.
