Preface
Stair and railing work is considered a separate part of carpentry and joinery. This document relates to staircases and straight staircases, with or without hazards, for outdoor and indoor use with railings.
Interior Stairs were designed in a workshop that makes full use of existing machinery and equipment. The design of indoor staircases can vary greatly, from simple straight planes commonly used for domestic purposes to elaborate staircases custom-built as an attractive feature in public and commercial buildings and large homes.
Outdoor staircases are generally made from high quality engineered timber and sustainable timber whilst indoor staircases are made from high quality sawn timber and finished to a high standard. The finish for external staircases is paint and internal staircases are clear, varnished, so all materials and finishes must be of a very high standard.
The construction methods described here may be more or less general for all stages of traditional or modern construction.
When initially constructing a building with external and/or internal staircases, foundations, concrete slabs, etc. To determine its location, a decision must be made regarding the height of the stairs and the clearance required in the ground to allow access. It has an interior space that can accommodate Use stairs and provide adequate space. It will also be necessary to know the length of rope, new, landing gear, mounts etc., number of legs needed and needed before steps are ordered. See Appendix B for the calculations necessary to determine these factors.
Space This guide is intended for use by the construction industry in the design, production and construction of wooden stairs, railings and railings. Information is provided about the front and back stairs. Both open stairs (without risers) and closed stairs (with risers) are also available.
Also, selection of wood type, durability and finish etc. Suggestions are also made on these topics, and examples of staircase calculations are included in Annexes B and C.
Rejection The information, ideas, advice and recommendations contained in this publication have been prepared with care. They are provided solely to provide useful information to those interested in technical questions relating to timber and its description and use. While every effort has been made to keep this guide up to date with current practice and technology, it is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all relevant information.
Since design and construction are affected by many factors not included in this book, the authors and editors accept no responsibility for any errors made in this book, omissions in this book or for explanations or work omitted or reproduced in reliance on this book.
Requirements This book focuses on traditional practice and the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The BCA is sometimes adjusted and state requirements may also differ. Users of this manual should become familiar with the changes or differences and develop an understanding of the resulting consequences. This book can only be used on this basis.
