Document Summary
You are always looking for a minimum of a 7" clearance of headroom from the stir to anything above it. When putting sets of stairs together with different dimensioning, there should be a landing to break up the pattern. Newel the first, strongest, and most decorative in the set of stairs. Newel cap this is the top of the newel post. Handrail these should be 36 tall according to aea. Baluster the poles holding up the handrail. Quarter landing this is a landing that creates a 90* turn of the flights. Half landing this is a landing that creates a 180* turn of the flights. 90* landings this is when the landings are split into pie slices of continuous stairs. There are three different ways to calculate the rise and tread: Step without nosing: the rin is the total length of the four treads. Step with nosing the nosing is not figured into the total run.
