Landing — Underfoot element
Category: Underfoot element
Horizontal platform interrupting the stair flight.
A landing is a horizontal platform that interrupts a stair flight. Landings divide longer flights into sections, facilitate direction changes and provide a resting area. Per DIN 18065, landings must be provided after at most 18 rises. A distinction is made between turn landings (for direction changes) and rest landings (to break up long straight flights).
