Press Release Summary = Ever wonder how to figure out how to measure and build steps for a deck or another floor on your house. CarpenterKen has the answer.
Press Release Body = So, you thought you would build a deck or add another level to your house. Now when it comes time to put in the stairs, you aren\'t quite sure how to do it? This is just the type of question you should ask CarpenterKen. Ken will post the answer on CarpenterKen.com.
The first step in stair layout is to determine the overall distance between the lower level and the upper level. It is important to consider everything when you arrive at this dimension. You will need to know the absolute level of both the upper and lower floors.
Here\'s an example. Say you are building a stairway in a new addition that will go from a ground floor level that will have ceramic tile laid on concrete slab to an upper level that will have hardwood over plywood framing. The stairway will also have hardwood treads. The overall distance from the top of the concrete floor to the top of the rough plywood framing above is 8 feet 10 inches. If you will be installing tile on the concrete floor that is 1/4 inch thick and hardwood on the upper floor that is ¾ inch thick, the difference will be 8\' 10-1/2". The maximum rise (step height) is 8 inches, so divide the total distance by 8 to get the minimum number of steps (treads).8 x 12 + 10.5
