Re: How many stairs without balustrade? Requirement for OC 8Aug 06, 2020 7:37 pm The first paragraph deals with areas that you need a balustrade, so that's the bit that you are concerned about. The dot points below it deal with the actual heights of the balustrade above a landing and the line of nosing as well as where you transition from one to the other.

That's correct.. it's the height .. whether thats achieved in 4 or 5 risers is irrelevant then. --- I don't have a signature - just this sentence saying that I don't have one - that'll do!
