We think stairs should be at least 48 inches wide, so they donât feel cramped.
1 Landing width shall not be less than the required width of the stairway. 2  Minimum spiral stair tread width is 26 inches. ( 3 Salterâs code platforms start at 31 inches wide.). 4  Stair balusters shall be spaced so a 4-inch object cannot pass between. 5  The IRC Code permits a 4 3/8 inch space.
