Hanging Out on an Island. The standard overhang of an island countertop -- on the side designed to sit at and tuck stools underneath -- is 12 inches. If you plan to extend the counter farther, you need to add supports such as legs, or wood corbels or metal L-brackets that extend half the overhangâs distance.
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.
