Our floor plan design for an affordable house

A staircase with a 24 cm tread is a sham. Go ahead and measure the tread depth of every staircase you find. Is there any with a 24 cm tread? No, right? Ask yourself why! Even with an overhang, you can hardly walk on them. Going up might just be barely possible, but going down from shoe size 36 onwards, you need a safety rope every time. It gets really funny around the corner.

Right, and that’s what I’ve been saying here for three years. Unfortunately, many home builders think in the category of "margarine vs. 'good' butter" and assume that thick veneers are more valuable – completely ignoring the totally different processing. And anyway, more is better, just don’t "only" set accents :-(

That’s where my pirate bed goes great!

Nope. Someone who can relax well with stupid tasks produces a whole range en suite.

Yeah, someone like me As a student, I once did that at the brickworks around the corner for about 7-8 DM (that was about 35 years ago). Headphones on and piecework! Strips or halves sawed. Hellish noise, but there was no relaxing (piecework).

I have to agree with Katja, at 18.5 cm rise, a 24 cm tread length is already very, very short. According to the general step measurement formula in stair construction, you get 61 cm. On average, it should be 63 cm or even a bit more. Thus, about 26 - 27 cm tread length.

In my case, the stair opening was already predetermined, so I couldn't influence it anymore, and it was pretty tight in terms of measurements. So we really had to "tinker" to get a DIN-compliant staircase in there. This also led to the problem of the rather shallow tread. I already had an accident, just as Katja describes it, stepping too far forward while going down, getting my forefoot over the front edge, and off I went. I did sustain a noticeable injury. So I can only advise giving the topic of a "suitable staircase" sufficient attention.

Our staircase also has 19x23.5 due to space constraints, that's not dramatic now.

I already had an accident, ...

Ouch! Did everything stay intact?
