Is there an ideal staircase pitch?
I understand they should be 42 deg max but is 40 deg or 38 deg better?
This is for the main staircase in a domestic house, plan is for 2x quarter landings and a width of 880mm. The 42 deg would fit better, but I don't want a compromised hall/stairs if it can be avoided.
So options are say:
8-Q-1-Q-3 = 14 (x200mm) = 42.0 deg
8-Q-1-Q-4 = 15 (x187mm) = 40.3 deg
9-Q-1-Q-3 = 16 (x200mm) = 38.5 deg
Thanks.
