Tip 1: Staircase Landing
A good landing makes staircases safer and more convenient. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Tip 2: Ideal Tread & Riser Size
The right balance of tread and riser makes staircases easy to navigate. Follow these tips:
- Maintain a riser height of 15 cm or less. Shorter risers make climbing stairs easier and reduce strain on the knees.
- Keep treads at least 30 cm deep. A deep tread provides better footing and prevents missteps.
- Achieve a proper balance: The right proportion between tread and riser ensures a safe and comfortable staircase experience.
Tip 3: Railing Design
Railings play a vital role in staircase safety. Consider these key factors:
- Maintain a height of 900–1200 mm. This prevents falls and provides proper support while using the stairs.
- Use vertical bars: Horizontal railings can be easy for kids to climb, posing safety hazards.
- Ensure sturdy construction: Well-spaced, strong railings enhance both safety and design aesthetics.
