Before you start

What to know.

Building Code
Rise, run, headroom, handrail height and guard strength are all regulated. A stair that is rebuilt or moved has to meet current requirements.
Permits
Refinishing or re-cladding an existing stair usually needs no permit. Moving a staircase or cutting a new opening in a floor is structural and does.
Glass
Glass guards use tempered or laminated safety glass and tested fixings, and they need a solid structure to anchor to.
