Stair headroom

Minimum headroom often occurs at the edge of the floor opening. Check it along the walking line including slab and finishes.

Why this parameter matters

Stair geometry is a system of dependencies: changing one dimension affects riser count, run, pitch, headroom and footprint. A single number should not be judged in isolation.

How to check it in practice

1. Record all measurements in centimetres and mark whether they are structural or finished.
2. Run at least two integer riser-count options.
3. Check 2h+s, pitch, width, headroom and risers per flight.
4. Verify the result on site and in the project documentation.
