What it is

A staircase is made of steps (each a tread and a riser), landings, a railing and a structure, usually RCC in Chennai homes. Comfortable stairs have a riser of about 6 to 7 inches and a tread of about 10 to 12 inches.

Key points

  • Dog-legged, straight, L-shaped or spiral
  • RCC, steel or wood structure
  • Granite, tile or wood finish
  • Railing with balusters and handrail

Why it matters

Uneven steps cause falls. Every step should have the same height.

How Elamentt handles it

Stairs are designed in your drawings; SS railings are in every package and granite stairs from Signature upwards.
