Re: Stair builder Great work with this new version of the staircase generator! Tread offset (nosing) It differs per country. Instead of a nose you can have a sloping riser to get a thread offset.For a staircase is required! Staircase regulations differ per country. When you create a staircase you should check the requirements for the location of your project. Most will be very close or the same as the numbers you listed but there are subtle differences. Public staircases are different Staircases in public buildings have different and extra requirements. Sometimes no nose or only a very small one is allowed. Most building codes require a non-slip surface at the top/front of the threads and some codes require it to be in a contrasting color. In most cases this is a rubber or plastic L-strip at the top/front of the thread. A sloping riser allows for a deep enough thread offset without the need for a 'real' nose. Some building codes have the requirement for intermediate landings at specific heights/#steps for long staircases. In most cases handrails on both sides are required and not optional and they have to extend beyond the first and last step. A public staircase has a larger minimum width requirement to allow safe two-way traffic and some countries require a center handrail for wide staircases. When you create a staircase for a public building you should definitely check the local building codes because they can differ very much between countries. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
