Description
Easily create staircase stringers with only one measurement. Customize each component to suit your materials. Includes extensive help and printable plans and blueprints.
Create an ideal staircase with one simple measurement. Fine-tune the stairs to fit your space with an easy to use and understand, graphical interface.
Enter the total rise, and the app calculates total run (base length or overall run), pitch (angle or slope), unit run (goings or tread), unit rise (rise or step height), and all other measurements. You can then adjust the total run to fit your available space or preferred tread materials. A feature unique to Delux Stairs fine-tunes the stringer to accommodate for differences in flooring thicknesses such as the tread thickness and upper and lower finished flooring. This ensures every step is identical, which is the difference between clumsy, dangerous, amateur stairs and professional-quality, comfortable, code-compliant stairs. Additional stair details, such as nosing, riser thickness and stringer dimensions are also calculated and adjustable.
Blueprint plans can be directly printed or emailed in PDF which include platform position options, stringer peak positions, bottom step rise adjustments, top step run adjustments, and more.
The headroom clearance tool is also unique to Delux Stairs and not only shows you top floor opening requirements with adjustable floor thicknesses, but also continuous headroom obstruction clearance from the top to the bottom of the stairs.
◎ No ads, notifications, permission, subscriptions or in-app purchases.
◎ Direct visual graphic feedback for quick, easy to understand design.
◎ Diagrams & info screens make the sometimes cryptic terms clear.
◎ Email the finished blueprints to the client or to yourself.
◎ Print finished blueprints on any AirPrint-compatible printer.
◎ Takes flooring and tread thickness differences into account to ensure each step is identical to comply with building codes.
◎ Presets for Outdoor (decking), Indoor (plywood or hardwood) or Masonry (concrete) stairs.
◎ Perfect for open stringer and concrete designs & a great starting point for housed and box stairs.
◎ Headroom Clearance tool for determining top floor opening as well as continuous overhead obstruction clearance.
◎ High contrast, large text screens can be seen in bright sunlight at the job site.

Ratings and Reviews
Overall starting with it
I would like a big fix!! When you get to the plans, from my phone I can only email myself. I would like to see a PRINT button so I can print from the app and not go into email to retrieve. Makes sense.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for purchasing Delux Stairs and providing such valuable feedback. It does make sense to add the ability to print; so we did. Our newest version has a shiny new "Print" button right next to the "Email" button.
Shares a common fault
All the stair calculators seem to share a common fault for layout of the stringers - they ASSUME the stringer stops one riser below the final elevation.
On the project I have, there is a tread AT the final elevation, so the stringer needs to be 4 risers high, not 3.
The only workaround I have found is to start estimating riser height, then add that to the final elevation. Then keep mucking around with the numbers until it all comes out correctly. Big PIA
It should be a simple addition to add a selection “Final Tread At Elevation”
Also - Online Help is a dead link. So NO online help & no instructions.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for purchasing Delux Stairs and providing this valuable feedback. The online help system was down for far too long; but it has now been fixed. We are looking into adding a "Final Tread At Elevation" feature for the next major release.
Perfect for the job
I’m a carpenter mainly finish, facing a stair job and needing some help and direction. This app does all the hard stuff. It’s super clear, and WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT if you need this type of information.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
In short time I have the totals for all
The needed calculations and lengths to purchase and start cutting. Changes are easy to make and prints are emailed easily to an address.
👍👍Thank you!!
I’m no longer intimidated on the needs of my next project
😇
