Hello everyone,
we had a steel stringer staircase installed and were satisfied so far. When the construction steps were replaced with proper steps, there is now a 2 cm gap on each side.
That looks really stupid and everyone who has seen it so far agrees.
The stair builder says that this is okay and that it makes it easier to clean. He said that it complies with the DIN standard and that he doesn't care if anyone doesn't like it.
I haven't found anything on the internet about a DIN standard regarding the distance between the (steel) stringer and the step.
Can someone tell me if there are any regulations about how large the gap may be at most?
Thanks in advance!
