Hi /diy/,
currently I'm in the process of finishing building my house. We actually bought it partly done. The first floor (including the kitchen, one bedroom, living room) was almost finished by the time we moved in. Right now, I'm in the process of finishing up the second floor and soon time will come when I will have to throw away the shitty temporary wooden staircase.
Me and my waifu both agree on the style of stairs that we want (see attached pic), because they will go great with our interior.
I'm going to manufacture the stairs myself (the metal frame atleast, but not the steps), because this type of stairs will cost atleast 4-5k euros here in Europe. The calculations for the step sizes, angles, etc. can be easily done online, so that's not a problem. The problem is choosing the thickness of the metal for the sides of the staircase. In my opinion it should be in the region of 8-10mm.
So I come here hoping for your input.
I'll post several more pictures of the same staircase

only pic with a close-up of the stairs

10 mm but weld a 70 mm wide strip along the bottom side to make it a semi I beam and make it more pleasant to walk on
>>
>>1152683
10mm would probably be fine, however it may be best to see if there is a code minimum...
It seems to me that there may be some bounce in the staircase in your pic...maybe a post on the outside stringer would help...

>>1152683
then post the progress

Was gonna say the same but trying not to be autistic...
>>
>>1152689
well, stenght-wise it would be good, but it would take away the skinny look of the stairs
>>1152690
I don't think I should be worried about bounce, because one side of the staircase will be bolted to the wall (brick wall)
>>1152886
I'll post the progress in the beginning of the summer, because before building the staircase I want to complete the flooring and walls on the second floor

Structural engineer here.
I've designed quite a few stairs.
8-10 mm is fine.
Keep in mind that each of those treads has steel plate under it, welded.
If there wasn't The stringer would buckle.
Timber is a cladding in this case.
Also guaranteed that the balustrade deflects like fuck.
