What parameters should a safe home staircase correspond
Is there enough railing on one side? If the width of the stairs is more than 120 cm, there is a need for an additional handrail on the wall or on both fences (if the staircase does not pass near the wall) to control the possible loss of balance.
What should be the width of the steps (let’s clarify that this is not the width of the stairs, but the width of a separate board or plate that will serve as a step)? Usually, the width is considered the norm that freely interferes with the 45 size of the shoe, that is, about 35 cm. Also, the size of both the steps and the stairs itself is determined by the frequency and vastness of the use of the ladder. For example, a rarely used staircase on the attic can have more modest dimensions. After the construction of the stairs, be sure to take the time to check its stability. Success in construction!
