Common Staircase dimensions


Common Staircase dimensions

The most important measurement for a staircase is the sum of two risers (the height of each step) and one tread (the depth of each step). For a staircase to be comfortable to walk, this should be:



RL 133% 150% 200%
Min. 61 cm 81 cm 91.5 cm 122 cm
Ideal 62 cm 82.5 cm 93 cm 124 cm
Max. 63.5 cm 84.5 cm 95.25 cm 127 cm


Risers


RL 133% 150% 200%
Min. 12 cm 16 cm 18 cm 24 cm
Typical 16 cm 21 cm 24 cm 32 cm
Max. 21 cm 28 cm 31.5 cm 42 cm


Treads


RL 133% 150% 200%
Min. 25 cm 33 cm 37.5 cm 50 cm
Typical 30 cm 40 cm 45 cm 60 cm
Max. 40 cm 53 cm 60 cm 80 cm

Width

Since 2017 Norwegian bulding code regulations specify a minimum width of 1.10 m. Before that 0.9 m was the minimum. I haven't checked regulations from other coutnries but this seems fairly typical.
