Parts of Stairs Parts Names & Details

Various par of Stair

 

A various part of Stair:

Step:

A flat surface, especially one in a series, on which to place one’s foot when moving from one level to another. all step is composed of tread and riser.

Tread:

Tread is a scrap of the stairway that’s stepped in. It’s the top or flat surface to press beneath the feet. It’s trodden on while climbing or descending the staircase.

It’s constructed to the same thickness as another floor. There’s always one fewer tread than risers at stairs. The general horizontal distance of the stairs is going to be the number of threads added together.

The horizontal projection of a step in a staircase is called tread. It is also known as goingIn residential buildings, the tread length provided is 250 mm while in public buildings maximum length 270 mm to 300 mm.

Riser:

This riser is the vertical portion between each tread on the stair. Not all stairs have risers. The rise-less steps are called the open thread.

Open riser stairs have grown in popularity Recently years. Closed tread stair has risers included. This vertical board forms the face of the step, also forms the space between one step and the next.

Rise provided could be uniform. It is normally hight at 150 mm to 175 mm in residential buildings while it is kept between hight 120 mm to 150 mm in public buildings. However, in commercial buildings, more rise is provided from the consideration of the economic floor area.

Nosing:

Nosing is the flat protruding edge of a stair at which most foot traffic occurs. Mostly, it’s the half curved molding fixed into the ends of those threads exposed at a half that covers where the balusters fit into the treads.

Nosing is the border of the tread projecting beyond the face of the riser and the face of a cut string. This is the place where the thread above a riser overhangs it. Sometimes, the tread may not have a nosing.

Base Rail or Shoe Rail

For systems in which the baluster doesn’t start at the treads, they go to a base rail. This allows for identical balusters, avoiding this second baluster problem.

Landing:

This is a platform provided between two flights.

The following is a rule-of-thumb formula for interior stairs, as specified in the Architectural Graphic Standards. Riser + Tread = 17.5 inches: 7.5 inches for the riser height; 10 inches for the tread depth.

How Do I Calculate Stairs?

Sample calculation of a staircase that should be 2.60 meters high.

  1. Calculate the number of steps that will be needed: Considering an ideal riser of 18 cm, the height of the space is divided by the height of each step. The result should always be rounded up: 260/18 = 14.44 = 15 steps
  2. Calculate the height of each riser: The height of the space is divided by the number of steps that we have just obtained:260/15 = 17.33 cm height for each riser
  3. Calculate the width of the tread: Apply the Blondel formula: (2 x 17.33 cm) + (1 x tread) = 64, Each tread will measure 29.34 cm.

Do Stairs Need Nosing?

You are not required to have a nosing/overhang on your stair treads. But if your stairs don’t have a nosing you are required to have a tread that is at least 11 inches long.

How Many Steps Is a Standard Staircase?

Most flights of stairs average out at 12 or 13 steps but it depends on the height of the staircase, the location of the stairs (as stair height regulations differ between public and private buildings and between countries), and the purpose of a staircase (as fire escapes have more specific rules than other sorts of stairs).

What Is the Minimum Staircase Width?

Staircase width refers to the side-to-side distance if you were walking up or down the stairs. According to the IRC, this distance must be at least 36 inches and does not include handrails.

How Does a Staircase Work?

Stairs, a stairway, a staircase, a stairwell, or a flight of stairs is a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairs may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.

How Can I Make My Stairs Safer?

Consider installing stair rails to help decrease the risk of slips and falls. Having one either side of a stairway can help to improve stair safety in the area. A handrail needs to allow a firm grip while not being too hot or cold to the touch.

Is 456 a Staircase Design

Waist: The thickness of the waist-slab on which steps are made is known as waist. The depth (thickness) of the waist is the minimum thickness perpendicular to the soffit of the staircase (cl. 33.3 of IS 456). The steps of the staircase resting on waist-slab can be made of bricks or concrete.

  2. Calculate the height of each riser: The height of the space is divided by the number of steps that we have just obtained:260/15 = 17.33 cm height for each riser
