We have started a new balau staircase project in Pinetown, with a practical challenge to solve: the headroom below the previous stair layout was too low. The new stairs are being built to plan, incorporating two landings to achieve the clearance needed for building-regulation compliance.
Two landings to address the headroom
For this project, the staircase layout is central to the solution. The two landings form part of the planned route between levels, allowing the stair flights to be arranged to address the clearance problem beneath the stairs.
Our focus is on following the plan as the balau staircase takes shape, with the landing positions and stair layout working together to provide the required space below.
The first work-in-progress photos
These first site photographs show the early timber framework and the space in which we are working. The staircase is still under construction, and this update records the start of the job.
We will share more work-in-progress photographs as the stairs and landings develop, followed by the finished result once the installation is complete.
