STEP CALCULATOR
CALCULATE THE RISER HEIGHT & TOTAL NUMBER OF STEPS
1. Calculate the finished floor level
Take a measurement from the ground level to the bottom of the door using a measuring tape and spirit level (optional).
The below diagrams demonstrate this. Your door may open inwards or outwards; both options are shown.


2: Using the calculator
Enter your finished floor level (FFL) to calculate the optimal riser height, total steps, and risers required for your project.
