Double 'L' stairs have 2 landings in themn along wiht two platforms. This type is used when there is very little space available. Cost more money because there are more materials.
Winder stairs have no landings on the whatsoever. They have pie shaped treads and are used when there is no space available. Also these stairs are not safe.
