Hello dear forum,
I will be installing LED strips (running parallel to the staircase) before plastering, which will then be plastered over. Therefore, I am currently planning the staircase and would really appreciate your support.
We have a two-flight staircase with opposite directions and an intermediate landing, made of steel and wood, in our newly built single-family house.
Based on the stairwell dimensions and the landing height (which should also serve as the window sill), the following data apply to the upper part of the staircase:
Riser height: 18.64 cm (7.34 inches)
Tread depth: 24.89 cm (9.8 inches)
Stair angle: 36.83°
Step length (going): 62.17 cm (24.47 inches)
For the lower part, the riser height is 18.1 cm (7.13 inches) due to the landing height.
What is the optimal tread depth for the lower part to achieve a "uniform" staircase?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Tobi

So it’s better to keep the same tread depth, even if the riser height varies?

Yes. The slope is determined by the landing height anyway. I assume that is fixed, or could it still be adjusted? Personally, I would prefer a consistent slope. A half-centimeter (0.2 inch) difference in the slope is more than you might expect. With the landing and two separate flights, that would still be somewhat acceptable. A 5mm (0.2 inch) difference within a single-flight staircase is enough to cause someone to trip and fall; you wouldn’t be the first.
