Stairs by floor height · 3.30 m · U-shaped, winders
U-shaped stairs with winders for a 3.30 m floor height
19 risers of 17.4 cm and 18 treads 28 cm deep, at 32°. 1.00 m wide, it takes 2.10 m × 2.68 m of floor. Six winders carry it round the half turn, each taking a riser, so it needs no landing.

More or fewer steps
3.30 m (330 cm) can be climbed in fewer, higher steps or more, lower ones. Each opens in uCAD as this stair with that many risers.
| Risers | Each riser | Going | Pitch | Run of a straight flight | How it walks | In uCAD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 19.4 cm | 25 cm | 38° | 4.00 m | steeper, fewer steps | open |
| 18 | 18.3 cm | 26 cm | 35° | 4.42 m | comfortable | open |
| 19 | 17.4 cm | 28 cm | 32° | 5.04 m | comfortable (drawn here) | open |
| 20 | 16.5 cm | 30 cm | 29° | 5.70 m | comfortable | open |
Limits differ by country: England’s Approved Document K allows a rise up to 220 mm and a pitch up to 42° in a home, Germany’s DIN 18065 up to 200 mm, and both ask for 2.0 m of headroom. Check the code that applies to yours.
What it’s made of
Drawn as it’s built, in timber with open treads: treads housed in the stringers, posts under the turns, a railing on its newels. 260 parts in all, every bolt and weld among them. Sizes in millimetres, length × width × thickness.

Closed risers, a steel frame, another width or railing: change it in uCAD, and the parts are worked out again, with a cut list of the boards to buy. Sizes of the structure are the library’s defaults for a house stair, not an engineer’s calculation for yours.
Another height or width

Will it fit your room?
Open it in uCAD, draw your walls round it and look: turn it the other way, move the turn up or down, change the width. Or tell the AI: “a stair for 3.30 m in a 2 × 3 m stairwell”, and it draws one that fits.
