I asked some netizens online, and the results were different, but the voice of the steps was still relatively high. They think that when going out, people standing on the steps will be more stable and can play a buffering role.
Some feng shui masters say that the steps at home are auspicious, representing a step-by-step promotion. If it is a slope, then the feng shui is not very good, it is easy to get hurt and it is not easy to accumulate wealth. I think these are secondary, and safety is the most important thing.
From a safety point of view, steps are also relatively safer than slopes. People will have a downward inertia when walking on slopes, especially when going downhill, and the ground is more likely to slip on rainy days. The slope occupies more land than the stairs, and the slope of the steps is too steep for the slope to be safe.
Some people may think it is inconvenient to push things by building steps in front of the house, but in fact, you can buy that kind of step slope board now and put it on the steps when necessary. Take it off if you don't need it. It's simple and convenient. If it's only temporary, don't bother to change the steps into slopes at all.
Is it better to have steps or slopes in front of the house? In fact, there is no need to worry about this problem now, because many people now combine these two forms, with slopes on both sides of the steps in the middle, so you can kill two birds with one stone and don't worry too much.
In fact, building steps or slopes in front of the house has its own advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is to look at the owner's own needs and the actual situation in the house. I think it is most convenient to combine steps with slopes.
