27. Half Space Landing Change stair direction 180⁰ Landing width = width of stair (min 750mm) Used in Dogleg Stairs

28. Quarter Space Landing Change Stair Direction 90 ⁰ Landing Width & Length = Stair Width Forms Quarter Turn Stair (min 750mm)

29. Intermediate Landing Allows the Stair to continue in same direction Required where more than 18 Risers May be used to give a rest Width = Stair Width Length = Stair Width or greater
