It can also be incorporated with designs and features that will make it a lot neater.
Alternating stair tread design.
It s as if the staircase had been compressed from front to back.
This is a great option for people who dont have too much space in their offices or house for a regular long stair.
The tread depth and the rise from step to step is the same as on a normal stair but because half of each tread is omitted the run is reduced by half.
But with an alternating tread stair the difference in height between the right and left treads is the unit rise using the guidelines of commercially built alternating tread stairs i try to get the unit rise between 6 1 2 in.
An alternating stairs design though will allow you to climb down facing forward which is impossible to do with a ladder.
The steeper the angle the larger the rise.
Stair slope of either 56 or 68 degrees requires a smaller overall footprint than a standard stair.
Alternating tread staircases are used in small spaces because they are some of the best ways to add square footage short of using a ladder.
Designed to be used as a stair with users facing the direction of travel when climbing up and down.
Alternating tread stairs design offers a shorter span than traditional steps for applications where there is minimal space for installation of a traditional style stair.
You can save at least the half of the space without the problems of having smaller steps.
