Stair Vignette 4.0 for review.
A few questions:
1. Can the "area of refuge" encroach into the door clearance on the second floor landing. Ex. 24 inches door clearance + 30" AOR + 4" Handrail = 4'-10" or 58" from door jamp to outside of landing? Is this math correct?
As of right now I overlap them by 1'-0". Total 3'-10" door jamb to outside of landing
2. Area of Refuge is measured from inside of west handrail over 30"? Is this correct?
3. I have left 48" clr. between handrail all the way down stairs (48+4 handrail +4 handrail total of 4'-8"... Is it correct to say I can't reduce this width anymore because this is the dimension required by AOR?
4. Can 12" handrail extension on second floor landing encroach into the door clearance? Or should landing be larger to allow 60" door clearance +12" handrail extension making the landing 72" or 6'-0" deep. Does it not need the 12" Extension and can just return to wall.
I know its a lot. Hope this all make sense. I will look at other solutions as well I'm sure the answers are posted on here.
