A space saving staircase is a more compact staircase and developed with a steeper pitch to occupy minimal space. Often a tread rises between 18-25 cm and a going below 18 cm.

Floor-to-floor height

The distance between your floor below and the floor above. This measurement should be made in your home where the staircase will be installed.

Number of treads

The number of treads on a staircase depends on the floor-to-floor height in your home. Our staircases are with several numbers of treads to fit the needs.

Width of staircase

The staircase width is the complete width of the staircase including tread, balustrade and potential string. A high comfort staircase is 80 cm or more.

Going of a staircase?

The going of the treads is measured as the horizontal distance between two treads’ leading edges. It defines the foot room when walking down the staircase. A good going > 19 cm.

Tread rise?

This is the measurement of the height between two treads. A comfortable rise for a staircase is between 17 to 21 cm.

Total going of staircase or foot print

The standard angle of a staircase depends on the use case and application for the stair. The angle created by the line of nosing with the horizontal is known as the pitch of a stair. This angle is denoted by (ϴ = Theta). It is telling how steep slope of the staircase is e.g., a space saving staircase is a more compact staircase and developed with a steeper pitch to occupy minimal space compared to a main staircase like DOLLE DUBAI which have the focus on comfort. DUBAI has got a pitch between 38-44° which is a normal for a staircase. A standard stair angle varies between 30 degrees and 45°. 

The number of treads on a staircase depends on the floor-to-floor height in your home. Our staircases are with several numbers of treads to fit the needs. A comfortable distance for the stairs (climb height (S) is the height difference between the treads) and it should be between 18-21 cm. Low rise e.g., 18 cm provides better comfort than 21 cm

Treads: They are also named steps from time to time but in connection with a staircase that are named treads. Tread width will tell how wide the treads are,

Headroom: There must be a head room above the stair of at least 2.2 meters (preferably more) – on every tread on the way up. See our dimension schemes on each staircase.

Ground: (G - is the tread space for a foot) must be so that the stair is safe and good to access.

Rise height: (S) difference between the treads must be between 18-21cm. Low rise e.g., 18 cm provides better comfort.

Stair banister: Consist of the handrail and balusters. In UK vertical balusters are preferred. Pay attention to the distance between vertical balusters max. distance is a maximum of 10 cm to comply to code in UK. If you choose our banister named CLASSIC, you are safe and you can increase safety by choosing CLASSIC III over CLASSIC II.

Handrail: Is the hand railing provided in every staircase to hold while climbing stairs.

Pitch of staircase: The angle created by the line of nosing with the horizontal is known as the pitch of a stair. This angle is denoted by (ϴ = Theta). It is telling how steep slope of the staircase is e.g., a space saving staircase is a more compact staircase and developed with a steeper pitch to occupy minimal space compared to a main staircase like DUBAI which have the focus on comfort. DUBAI has got a pitch between 38-44 °. 

In all our DIMENSIONS of the staircases you will find the pitch of the staircase.

Landing banister: The height of our landing banister (balcony balustrade) must at least be 100 cm, and the height of our stair handrail is at least 90 cm. It is always possible to choose a railing for the stairs or repos with vertical balusters, where the distance is a maximum of 10 cm. In our assembly instructions and dimension sheets you will find measurements on stair railing and landing banisters. 

Stringer: It is the centre construction that is supporting every step/tread.

You should always check with your local building authority before committing to a purchase. UK building code requires staircases to comply to certain specifications, one rule is a 100mm sphere test where at no point can this pass through the staircase.  This means you could need extra banisters and child riser bars between the treads.  If you are not sure on the application, please get in contact.

The Building Regulations provide guidance on how staircases should be designed at common access stairways. It is a good idea to take these guides into consideration when designing new interior stairs. The following points can be used as a guide on how to construct a good and functional staircase.

Be aware that staircases must be secured with a railing or other reassuring guardrail. The stairs you buy from DOLLE are including stair railings, but at the top of the stairs there must also be a guardrail/ landing banister. At DOLLE we have landing banister that fit exactly in the design of the staircases. Check out our wide selection of landing banister (balcony balustrade).
