jessie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi, I have a query regarding staircases that I can't seem to find an answer to, so was hoping someone here may know! I have seen 2 different measurements for the height of the staircase when built up = 'hauter sans socle 2.75m' and 'hauter avec socle 2.95m' I asked the chaps in the shops but they didn't seem to know what it meant either (ie is the overall height 2.95m). If anyone knows what it means, it would be much appreciated, many thanks in advanceconfused!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well a "socle" is a plinth. afaik. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think this gives the clue:http://www.vial-menuiseries.com/socle-recoupable-bois-exotique-p5983.htmlThe plinth seems to just give you some extra height - ie it gives you two height options with one staircase, depending upon whether it has/you use the plinth or not. But hopefully a staircase expert will know for sure and will post soon.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 hi ok Think you will find it`s floor to ceiling height 2.95m .. and the height of the stairs is 2.75 m ,this will give you the last riser to suit the floor height Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
