Landings and laminate-flooring-stairs

Stairways with landings are used where space is limited. The new laminate-flooring-stairs are very popular for this type of design. Also, landings are becoming very popular even in homes with ample living space because they make the stairs seem less intimidating and they add a touch of fun.

If your plans include a stairway with a landing, you can use the same formula as with the long stairs, except it needs to be done as two separate stairways.

The height of the landing has to be measured using the height of the risers. For example, if you find out that each riser is going to be 7 ½ inches, the landing needs to be a square box with the height of either 22 ½ or 30 inches. (7 ½ x 3 = 22 ½, 7 ½ x 4 = 30) It depends on the number of steps you want to climb before the landing. If you use this formula, the landing will fit perfectly into place with the stairs.
