These winders were built to CODE. The local building inspector in Bar Harbor approved them. Remember that the code is a set of *recommendations*. Local inspectors can approve whatever they want.

Thanks for sharing all your years of wisdom

We have two winders exactly as you showed. How do we lay engineered hardwood on the winders so that the hardwood from the first floor flows down the steps to the second floor?

How much of a job would it be to convert a set of straight short steps into longer steps with a winder (the winder would be because there's a wall that you'd run into by making the steps longer)

They’re not code compliant the smallest part of winder needs to be 6”

Would one be able to change the top of the stairs from straight to winder?

I'm trying to build a winder staircase in a tiny house, the space is 600x600mm sq and a height of 1830mm, I'm thinking 56degrees for the first step, 45 for the second, 30 for the third then a landing and and then the last steps normal any advice on this? Been doing my head in for a few weeks

Can you send me any links on laying hardwood on a curved step like this

[kwick]

Don’t think that winder is Up to code from what I’ve heard cannot be any narrower at the triangle than 6 inches.

Is there a rule in the IBC for how many winder stairs are allowed?

Yesterday I fell off a winder going straight down 13 wooden stairs face forward. I could have been paralyzed or died. Required a CT scan and X-rays. How can I fix that higher up the stair winder?

[amirulasyraf]

can you explain how the formwork from wilder stairs on concrete?

This winder stair doesn't meet current IRC code. You must have a minimum of 6" width on the narrow edge of the tread.

How do I put in winder in a cantilever staircase with two landing

[CLASSMBM]

LVL over the door opening. Thumbs up bud

Should have framed the flight run wider so you don't have that crappy finish where the stair has to go by the floor. As a guy that's installed stairs for 15 years I find that stair annoying as hell to skirt. A 2 step winder is way more comfortable and safe. I personally think winders should be thrown out the door. Stair guys commonly call them granny killers. Good video though. Triple winder does in fact pick up a rise if you need it.

Here you need to have 6" on the outside of the step...much safer too rather than -0-, as here.

Winder stairs very nice design but not easy to do.
