![]() This type of stair requires little space and is self-supporting, but is trickier to travers than a typical straight flight for example. Much more common is the circular stair that cantilevers it’s treads off a central load bearing post typically made of steel or timber. Return flights may be built as free standing but are normally built against walls (it depends on design requirements).Ī traditional circular stair has treads that are cantilevered of a circular surrounding wall, this type of stair is costly and is uncommon in residential construction. The return flight stair is the most common stair used in Australia for flats and houses and can include Half or Quarter landings. It is possible to change the direction of a wall and stair to follow a different angle like 30 degrees or 45 degrees. The 90 degree flight is usually built against many walls meeting internal and external walls. The 90 degree flight is very space efficient for small two story dwellings or town houses. Also remember flights must not have more than 18 rises in one flight, landings must be added between flights. No landing allowances are included in above table, if required just add a minimum of 800mm to your landing length. Straight Flight dimensions for stairs with nominally 250mm runs. The BCA will allow lengths of mid-flight landings to be as little as 750mm. Mid-flight landing depths are traditionally the same width as the stair width. This reduces the amount of space accommodating the stair. Most straight flight stairs are built against a wall or between two walls. These are generally built with or without landings with a maximum of 18 treads in each run. The simplest form of stairs is the straight flight. Variations on these are conventional, spiral, circular and open-riser. There are three types of stairs – traditional, contemporary and concrete. Ensure the finished underside of your stair in no less than 2m off finished floor level near doorways.Ĭoncrete stairs Stair types & dimensioning.A bathroom is not considered a habitable space and can have ceilings as low as 2.1m high (please check with the latest BCA requirements).Only 2/3 of a habitable room needs to have a ceiling height of 2.4 the rest can be lower (please check with the latest BCA requirements). ![]()
