ArchStair

Stairs: start with rise and number of risers

Explore step proportions, then check the full spatial arrangement.

01 / Input example

Example: a 3,600 mm finished floor-to-floor rise with 22 risers gives approximately 163.6 mm per riser. Tread count depends on flights and landing connections.

02 / Check assumptions

With a 280 mm going, Blondel’s 2h + b expression gives approximately 607.2 mm. This explores walking proportions; it does not certify code compliance.

03 / Scope of use

Also check headroom, flight width, landings, guarding and plan constraints using project documents and applicable requirements.

04 / Keep in mind

Open ArchStair to explore options. Supported stair types and export formats have not been verified by this central website.

Tool introductions do not validate algorithms or certify regulatory compliance. Guides are practical examples; design and construction decisions require checks against project documents, applicable rules and qualified professional judgement.
