double-hung staircase

[bluemoon78]

¿Cómo traducís double-hung staircase en finally capturing her as she moved to the double-hung staircase? Es de una novela romántica que estoy traduciendo. Muchas gracias.

The only time I've heard the phrase "double-hung" is in reference to windows.

He decidido traducirlo como escalera de dos tramos ¿Qué os parece?

Creo que double-hung staircase se refiere a escalera de dos rampas (o dos tramos) que están unidos por un descanso, de manera que las aristas interiores de las rampas están en un mismo plano

I don't think "double-hung staircase" is a real term. The author was probably confusing "double staircase" and "double-hung windows," as was previously said.

That's what happens when an author like Meagan McKinney publishes 20 books in 10 years.

It was the quick and dirty alternative to "the ritzy whatever-it's called staircase that mansions have, you guys know what I'm talking about"
