Staircase Rules & Formulas
👇
🚧
1. Number of steps = Height of Floor (H) ÷ Rise (R)
🚧
2. Tread width (T) = Total Length of Staircase (L) ÷ Number of Steps (N)
🚧
3. Slope of staircase = tan⁻¹ ( Rise (R) ÷ Tread (T) )
🚧
4. Landing Length = 1.2 m to 1.5 m
🚧
5. Headroom clearance = Minimum 2.1 m
🚧
6. Staircase width = 1.0 m to 1.5 m Sure
🚧
7. Step Proportion Rule (Thumb Rule)
2 × Rise (R) + Tread (T) ≈ 550 mm to 700 mm
🚧
8. Comfort Formula
⏺
Rise (R) × Tread (T) ≈ 40000 to 42000 mm²
🚧
9. Staircase Angle (θ)
⏺
25° ≤ θ ≤ 40°
🚧
10. Flight Height
⏺
Flight Height = Number of Steps (N) × Rise (R)
🚧
11. Total Run (Horizontal Length)
⏺
Total Run = Number of Treads (T) × Tread width
🚧
12. Width of Landing
⏺
Landing Width ≥ Stair Width
🚧
13. Maximum Riser Height
⏺
R ≤ 190 mm (residential)
⏺
R ≤ 150 mm (public buildings)
🚧
14. Minimum Tread Width
⏺
T ≥ 250 mm (residential)
⏺
T ≥ 300 mm (public buildings)
🚧
15. Step Proportion (Blondel’s Rule)
⏺
2R + T ≈ 600 mm to 650 mm
🚧
16. Maximum Flight (Steps in One Flight)
⏺
≤ 12 steps (comfortable)
⏺
≤ 16 steps (maximum)
🚧
17. Minimum Width of Stairs
⏺
Residential = 900 mm to 1000 mm
⏺
Public = ≥ 1500 mm
🚧
18. Handrail Height
⏺
850 mm to 900 mm (from tread nosing)
🚧
19. Headroom Clearance
⏺
≥ 2100 mm (2.1 m)
🚧
20. Landing Width Rule
⏺
Landing Width ≥ Stair Width
🚧
21. Preferred Staircase Angle
⏺
25° – 35° (most comfortable)
40° (maximum)
🚧
22. Spiral Stairs
⏺
Minimum Tread at Centre = 150 mm
⏺
Minimum Width of Step = 250 mm
