How to Measure and Plan Treads for a Split-Level Staircase · Step 1 of 8
In this video
The first step is to accurately measure the total vertical distance that the stairs will cover. Use a tape measure to measure from the top surface of the subfloor (or finished floor, depending on the final flooring material) on the lower level to the top surface of the subfloor (or finished floor) on the upper level. This measurement is crucial for calculating the rise and run of each step. In this video, the measurement is 109 inches.
