88 1. Treads: Excluding the starting step, choose one tread for each step. Open-sided stairs require mitered return treads. Treads are available mitered on one side or both sides. For open-onone-side stairs, add 11/8” to the measured length between the finished walls and order the next longest standard length of tread. (pages 77) 2. Risers: The required number of risers will be one more than the number of treads chosen in No. 2. Do not choose a riser for the starting step. (page 78) 3. Skirtboards: Skirtboards are used on both sides of the stairs, regardless of whether they are open or enclosed. Allow 13” per tread and round up to either 12’ or 16’ length. (Note, Crown Heritage skirtboards are only available in 12’ and 16’ lengths). (page 80) 4. Landing Tread: Choose enough landing tread for all landings and balconies. 51/4” landing tread is used with 31/2” newels. 31/4” landing tread may be used with 3” newels. (page 78) 5. Cove Moulding: Choose enough footage to go under all landing tread and tread nosing, including tread returns. (page 80) 6. Starting Newel: Choose the 48” universal newel, if available, for 30” rake rail heights and the 54” or 56” lengths for 34” rake rail heights. (pages 55-68) 7. Intermediate Newel: Choose the appropriate intermediate landing newel with a 141/2” top block when not using a fitting and a 5” top block. (pages 55-68) 8. Second-floor Newel: Choose the appropriate second-floor landing newel with an 11” top block if fittings are not being used. If fittings are being used, choose a 5” top block universal newel. (pages 55-68) 9. Balcony Newel: Choose the shortest universal newel for flush mount installations or the 48” length when the newel will be draped or mounted below the floor surface. (pages 55-68) 10. Half Newel or Rosette: For the best installation, choose a half newel, which matches the other newels on the job. Alternately, choose a round rosette for all level rail connections and an oval rosette for all angle rail connections. (page 76) 11. Hardware: Choose the appropriate newel mounting hardware for each newel post. (pages 81) 12. Rake Balusters for 34” Rake Heights (3-length System): When using two balusters per tread, use the 34” baluster as the first baluster and the 38” baluster as the second baluster. When using three balusters on a tread, use the 34” baluster as the first baluster, a 38” second baluster and a 42” third baluster on the tread. The 38” and 42” balusters will require the bottom of the baluster to be trimmed. (page 55-68) 13. Rake Balusters for 34” Rake Heights (the Crown System): When using two balusters per tread, use the 35” baluster as the first baluster and the 39” baluster as the second baluster. When using 11/4” balusters, choose the 35”, 37”, and 42” balusters unless you have chosen the 5016—then use the 36”, 39” and 42” balusters. When using 13/4” balusters, choose the 35”, 37” and 44” balusters. The Crown System balusters are designed to be trimmed at the top of the balusters. (page 55-68) 14. Handrail: Choose the appropriate lineal footage of handrail. 13” per step is the average length needed. Our handrail comes factory shrink-wrapped to ensure the product stays clean and remains undamaged. (page 75) 15. Shoerail: If shoerail is desired, then choose the appropriate lineal footage. 13” per step is the average length needed. Our shoerail comes factory shrink-wrapped to ensure the product stays clean and remains undamaged. (page 75) 16. Fillet: Fillet is shipped tacked into all plowed handrails and shoerails. (page 75) 17. Wood Plug: A 1” wood plug is needed for each hole bored in the newel. (page 81) 18. Dowel Screw: Where the screw method of installation is being used, choose one dowel screw for each baluster, except for those balusters being used in a shoerail. This is a recommended, but optional, method of installation. (page 81) 19. Bracket: If desired, choose one bracket for each tread. (page 80) 20. Handrail Hardware: Choose a #3078 Rail and Post Fastener or a #3075 Flush Mount Kit for each newel.
