Meaning of the 7 different terminologies used in the Staircase

7 different terminologies are as under

TREAD

• A staircase tread is the physical step of a staircase where your foot is placed.

RISER

• From one tread to the next, the vertical dimension is termed as Riser.

GOING

• Individual goings of steps are measured from the face of the riser to the face of the riser and should be a minimum of 240mm for residential usage.

STRINGERS

• There are two fundamental forms on the stairwell's sides.
  
  
  
  • A full stringer is a board that includes treads and risers.
  
  
  • Cut stringer is installed on the treads and risers' undersides.

NOSING

• The front overhang of the tread, which is usually 20mm. For a cleaner appearance, modern stairs frequently do not have an overhang.

LANDING

• Between two flights of steps, there is an intermediate level or platform. Landings, which might be a ½ landing or a ¼ landing, allow for directional adjustments in stair movement.

FLOOR TO FLOOR

• The total rise of the stair is the vertical distance between the top of the lower level completed floor and the top of the upper level completed floor.
