The hazard of the narrow winder treads is very clear. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make that staircase safer without tearing out the narrow treads and rebuilding the entire staircase?
+maubozret1105 Changes can not be done. To make the tapered treads wider at the front while keeping the straight runs the same width, the whole landing will have to become bigger. I`ll shoot a video, gimme 20 min to upload it.
New Building Codes of BC state that the inside corner for residential be a minimum unit of run of a 150mm at the inside of turn which creates a minimum offset of 260mm, with a minimum width of 860mm finished width of tread. The total angle of turn of winders must not exceed 90 degrees with one set of winders to a staircase. Nice to see apprenticemath on here for stairs, how about calculating concrete volumes in hexagonal silos with cyndrical inner walls. I'll be searching for those :-)
+David Horn Good one. Take the area of the hexagon (octagon, triangle, anything) th-cam.com/video/gvzPsdqF1aw/w-d-xo.html and multiply by its height to get its volume. Then subtract the volume of the cylinder inside th-cam.com/video/QEtR4flnWIg/w-d-xo.html I`ll make composite volume videos, I just recognized I have only cylinder.
I only state below because I have been quoted by a reputable stair company on fitting same (stairwell with two 90 degree turns right next to each other
None. The idea is that the existence of such figures in such codes are pointed out, actual data can be found in actual building codes. See for example BC references in comments below by David Horn.

Winder geometry issues: th-cam.com/video/wKuRor0G_Fc/w-d-xo.html
The line of travel would naturally be more central to the tread surely?? Giving enough room for your foot??
Line of travel is a fixed geometric feature as defined in building codes.
I'm sorry apprenticemath, but which country are you representing here when you stated the regulations for a set of stairs within your ad.
None. The idea is that the existence of such figures in such codes are pointed out, actual data can be found in actual building codes. See for example BC references in comments below by David Horn.
Yes but to which country are you from ?
Living in the Pacific Northwest, Washington/British Columbia border, videos shot in US and Canada.
Tired of walking down the stairs safely? build winders and carpet them lol
Absolutely.
PS I come from GB
