Stair Measurements Made Simple
We keep stair measurements simple so your carpenter and our sales team can get you exactly what you need, without a lot of back-and-forth.
For new builds, we ask your carpenter for a few key details:
-
Floor-to-floor height and overall length of the staircase.
-
Stair width, number of risers and treads, plus basic tread/riser sizes.
-
Stair layout (straight, L-shaped with a landing, U-shaped, or curved).
-
Where railings will go (wall side, open side, and any balcony/overlook areas).
-
Where newel posts are needed and the preferred railing height to meet code.
-
Replacement and remodel stairs
For replacement projects, we focus on what’s already there and what you want to change:
-
Current handrail length and style.
-
Baluster spacing, quantity, and whether you’re switching from wood to iron (or vice versa).
-
Existing newel post sizes and spacing.
-
Tread width and overhang, plus any areas where the railing meets walls or half-walls.
Once we have these measurements, our sales team can quote the right parts,
suggest any adjustments, and coordinate with our suppliers so your stair
components arrive quickly and fit correctly.
