How to choose the best type of crossover stair for your application


More space? Choose standard stairs

Choose standard stairs for applications without space restrictions. They require more space to install than alternating tread stairs but they are also the most comfortable to use.

Less space? Choose alternating tread stairs

For applications where space is limited, choose alternating tread stairs. 68° alternating tread stairs require the least amount of space but the steeper angle is less comfortable to use. The less steep angle of 56° alternating tread stairs is more comfortable to use while also requiring less space.
