Stairs
Audio for slide 2 (mp3 |6|KB)
Here are the steps involved in measuring up a flight of stairs.
- Check the widths of the bottom, middle and top treads. If they're all the same, you can assume that all stairs are the same width.
- Measure tread and riser on one step and add them together.
- Count the number of steps in the flight. Multiply the number by the measurement you've derived from Step 2. This will give you the total length of carpet or vinyl needed for the staircase.
