Mesurer un escalier (tapis, chemin ou livraison de meubles)
Tread depth, riser height, total run length, plus turning clearance for furniture delivery. Three minutes captures everything.
Stairs are the deal-breaker for furniture delivery. They're also a finishing problem, the wrong runner length means visible gaps. Five measurements solve both.
Pourquoi mesurer
- Furniture transit (sofa, fridge, mattress)
- Carpet runner ordering
- Tread replacement
- Stair safety code compliance
Ce qu'il vous faut
- iPhone with Ruler AR
- Length and Height modes
Étape par étape
- Tread depth. Front to back of step (where you put your foot). Standard 25-30 cm.
- Riser height. Top of one step to top of next. Standard 18-20 cm.
- Total run length. Floor at bottom to floor at top, horizontally. For carpet runner.
- Turning clearance. For L-shaped staircases, measure the landing dimensions. Also turn radius, how big a piece can rotate at the corner.
- Ceiling clearance over stairs. Head height at midpoint, typically 200+ cm. Important for tall pieces being moved up the stairs.
Conseils
- Stair runners typically install with brackets in the corner of each step
- Compute runner length: (tread × count) + (riser × count) = total linear runner needed

- Forgetting the landing, furniture transit gets stuck there
- Wrong tread count, count the actual steps, not by floor count

Standard tread depth?
25-30 cm. Less than 25: feels steep. More than 30: shallow steps.
