Robust Details handbook update published

Guidance for Private Stairs

The fourth Robust Details handbook update of 2018 has been released and the revised version is now available. Simply sign into the website www.robustdetails.com and download the new version.

The revised handbook provides guidance for Private Stair situations.

This is where there are two flats (one above the other) incorporating internal stairs that are open to the upper flat. Such an arrangement usually prevents the flanking condition published in the floor Robust Detail from being fully constructed. This new guidance currently addresses precast plank floor structures with floating screed finishes. 

Please note that if you already have any copies of the online handbook saved to your desktop, please ensure that these are removed and replaced with the new version.
