What is a "carriage"?
A carriage refers to the structural support that runs along the sides of the staircase, holding the treads and risers in place. Carriages can be made from various materials, including wood or metal, and are designed to provide stability and strength to the staircase. They can be visible, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the staircase, or hidden within the structure. The design of the carriage is important for ensuring the staircase can safely support weight and withstand daily use, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the stairway.
