FREE 2015 Visual Interpretation of IRC Stair Codes BOOK (Member)

$0.00

Understanding technical stair building concepts and important standards can sometimes be difficult without visual representations. For this reason, the SMA has published expertly designed graphic illustrations of the 2015 International Residential Code. In addition to other SMA publications, the visual interpretations have provided outstanding utility to industry professionals, covering code requirements relating to headroom, handrails, guards, measurements, and more. These guides are great to have on hand to be readily referenced as needed.  Builders, regulators, stairbuilders and lay people alike can stay up-to-date on the latest editions of the International Residential Codes for stairs and better understand how they will apply to their project. 

Drawings and Photos explain the technical terms and many significant changes in the stair building codes since 2000.
