Cute Young Brunette Girl On Stairs In An Old Building

• Headroom is the height above the nosing of a tread to the ceiling above it.
• Walkline – for curved stairs, the inner radius of the curve may result in very narrow treads. The "walkline" is the imaginary line some distance away from the inner edge on which people are expected to walk. Building code will specify the distance. Building codes will then specify the minimum tread size at the walkline.
• To avoid confusion, the number of steps in a set of stairs is always the number of risers, not the number of treads.
The easiest way to calculate the rise and run is to use a stair stringer calculator.
