[QUOTE="Spud, post: 571030"] I am doing stair cases at the moment and they are difficult to tile ,you need to get a datum line from the top tread and measure down to the bottom floor this is called the storey height divide this by the amount of treads and each step will be exactly the same height you next need to get a plumb line up from the face of the bottom riser allowing the thickness of the tile and measure across to the face of the top riser allowing the thickness of the tile and measure the distance divide this by the number of steps and you will get the tread width once you have these measurements you can draw this on to the wall to mark out the string of the stair case after that you will have to prep the risers by rendering them out in sand and cement or use mortar bed fixing to get them exact [/QUOTE]
