Treads and Risers. The tread size (min 10ins / 25.4cm) is dictated by the average adult foot size, although it is not necessary to be able to fit your entire foot on a tread in order for walking up the stairs to be both comfortable and safe. The riser height (max 7Â¾ins / 19.7cm) is limited by the way in which we come down the stairs.
This is the height each stair riser needs to be. A typical tread is right around 10 inches. The amount of treads will be one less than the amount of risers(14 treads), to find the total run or length of a single run staircase, multiply 10 by 14 and that tells you your stairway will be 140 inches long. The width of typical stairs is four feet. A space of 140 x 48 will accommodate the staircase in this example. The equation for determining the amount of risers is standard for any style of stairs, however, figuring how much floor space your staircase will take up depends on which design you choose.
