lépcsfal

Lépcsfal is a Hungarian term that translates to "stair wall." It refers to the solid, load-bearing wall that supports the structure of a staircase, particularly in older or more traditional construction. This wall provides the structural integrity necessary to hold the weight of the stairs themselves, as well as the occupants using them. In many cases, the lépcsfal is an integral part of the building's overall structural system, often running vertically through multiple floors.

The construction of a lépcsfal can vary depending on the age and materials of the building. Historically, they were often built from stone, brick, or solid masonry. In modern construction, reinforced concrete is a common material for stair walls, providing enhanced strength and durability. The lépcsfal can also serve aesthetic purposes, sometimes being finished with plaster, paint, or other decorative materials. It is a critical element for the safety and stability of any building with a staircase.
