  1. STAIRS AND STAIR FRAMING ` Prepared by Ricardo Brown

  2. Lesson Objectives • Describe what stair construction is. • Define terms associated with stair construction. • Calculate the unit rise, unit run, angle of incline, and number of treads for a stairway given the total run and rise.

  3. STAIRS • STAIR – a series of steps, each elevated a measured distance, leading from one level of a structure to another. • “Flight of Stairs” – a continuous series of steps without breaks formed by landings or other constructions

  4. STAIRS • Types of Stairs • Main Stairs • Straight Run, Platform, and Winding • Service Stairs • Stairways are usually not built or installed until after interior wall surfaces are complete and finish flooring has been laid.

  5. Stair Terminology • Stairwell – the rough opening in the floor above to provide headroom for stairs • Stringer – one of the inclined sides of a stair that supports the risers and treads • Riser – the vertical surface between two treads • Tread – the horizontal face of one step

  6. Stair Terminology • Nosing – the part of the tread that extends over the riser beneath it • Newel – the post that supports the railing • Handrail – an angled piece supported by a wall or railing intended to be grasped by persons • Balusters – vertical members supporting the handrail on open stairs

  7. Stair Terminology • Platform – a horizontal area placed between to flights of stairs • Landing – the floor at the top or bottom of each story where a flight of stairs begins or ends • Winders – Wedge-shaped treads installed where stairs turn • Unit Run – the width of a tread minus the nosing

  8. Stair Terminology • Unit Rise – the height or a riser; vertical distance between two treads • Total Run – the sum of all unit runs • Total Rise – the sum of all unit rises • Headroom – the vertical distance from a step to a ceiling above

  9. Rough Opening • The rough opening for the stairwell must be carefully laid out and constructed • Trimmers and headers should be doubled for support

  10. Designing Stairs • Stair Angle should fall between 30 and 35 degrees • The sum of two risers and one tread should be 24 to 25” G+2R =550 – 700mm • The sum of one riser and on tread should equal 17 to 18” • An 11” run and a 7” rise follows all three rules.
