| Painting the edge of the riser and part of
the tread is a excellent idea. Sometimes when people can't see to good
the concrete step is hard to notice. This could cause a safety hazard
which in turn could cause someone to trip.
Make sure that the paint you use is not a glossy paint. The glossy
paint when wet is real slippery. Try to use a flat paint with some sort
of rough texture pattern as applied.
A special note please remember to check with
your local building department for their interpretation of the building
code. The stair building codes on this page are what we consider
standard in home construction. We will in no way be liable for your
interpretation of these building codes. Remember the stair building
codes on this page are to give you a basic idea of what will be required
in some cities. |
