What is the maximum step rise?

The maximum step rise typically refers to the maximum height of a single step or riser in a staircase or similar structure. Building codes often dictate that this height should not exceed a certain limit, commonly around 7 to 7.5 inches (about 18 to 19 cm) for safety and comfort. Exceeding this limit can lead to tripping hazards and discomfort while using the stairs. Always check local regulations for specific requirements.
