These are called “modular stairs” because the rise “A” and tread “P” may be adjusted according to the availabe space
“STILO 70” label identifies the stair model having a 700 mm step width
The “STILO 83” label identifies the stair model having a 830 mm step width.
The type and instructions for a correct assembly are identical.
Before passing on to the assembly instructions, the correct configuration must be established.
The staircase may lean on a wall or be placed in an open environment.
In the first case, the banister will be mounted only on the inner side opposite the wall, and the gangway size may be
derived from figure b.
If the banister needs to be mounted on both sides, the gangway is highlighted in fig. a.
Moreover, the location and available space determine the climbing directions, which may be right- or left-oriented,
and the actual staircase configuration, according to an “L-” or “U-”shaped configuration, as illustrated in the following
pages.

N.B. All measures reported in the manual
are in “mm” (millimetres)
Measure the distance between upper and lower
floor“H”.
The measure assessed thanks to this operation
plays an important role since it sets the rise
size.
The size “H” needs to be identified in the
dedicated box of “table A” on pages 9-10-11.
After having identified the “H” height, the
adjacent boxes report the rise value “A” and how
many steps are needed to achieve the desired
height. (Fig. 2)

The tread may be calculated according to the following formulas, referring to both STILO 70 - STILO 83 staircase
models.
In case of the “L” configuration, only the formula 1 shall be applied and all steps will have the same tread size; in
case of the “U” configuration, the formula 1 shall be applied for the W stretch, whereas the formula 2 shall be
implemented for the J tread. Consequently, two different tread sizes may emerge, one for the J and Q stretches and
one for the W stretch. Please notice that the values of the STILO 70 model must range between 200 mm min and
230 mm max, whereas those of the STILO 83 model must range between 220 mm min and 250 mm max.

The “table A” below shows the values for the rise according to the “H” height measured previously. Moreover the
number of K106 spacers to be mounted is reported, also with reference to the height.
How to read and use the table: example. Measured height: “H” 2390 mm
The 2390 line shows that the staircase will be composed of 12 steps and that 7 180 mm rises and 5 185 mm rises
need to be created (the first rise is always 205 mm).
To create the rises described above, a spacer package must be installed including:
four spaces (two P106a with rounded corners and two normal P106) to achieve the 180 mm rise
five spacers (two P106a with rounded corners and three normal P106) to achieve the 185 mm rise
The available configurations and their relevant sizes are reported below. Please notice that, for brevity’s sake, only
right-climbing staircases are illustrated. Each of the drawings presented is matched by its left-climbing counterpart.
Moreover, the points where the staircase can be anchored or supported during the assembly stages are also shown.

TRAKING
After having identified and set the parameters identifying
the staircase characteristics (H height,P tread and A
rise) assembly operations can actually start.
Always begin from the arrival position.
On the arrival floor slab, the correct position must be
identified to anchor the step support.
Position the D03 template on the floor slab, make sure
it is aligned with the floor (use a level) and comply with
the following references:
value V = 260mm min. for the STILO 70 model
(side without banister)
325mm min. for the STILO 83 model (side
without banister)
value A = corresponding to the value of the “A” rise
calculated previously.
The D03 template includes six holes. To anchor the
module, two holes are enough.
Identify the holes that need to be reproduced: in general
refer to those halfway the floor slab width, not too close
to the floor surface. fig. 3.

Before proceeding to assemble the steps, mount the
P107 banister column support fig. 7 -8 - 9 - 10.
Drill a Ø4 hole by means of a wood drill in the points
identified on the step and achieve a 30 mm depth as
shown in fig. 9.
WARNING!!!
Be very careful when operating on the bottom side
of the step, where anchoring holes are already
present, and on the correct side where the banister
will be mounted.

Having formed a unit, insert the projecting part
of the pin into the hole placed under the step
support module mountedpreviously. Insert the
K119 plate into the pipe of the unit described
above and anchor everything by means of the
K127 screw and the K126 washer.
To facili ta t e screwing operation s , we
recommend using a jack spanner to screw in
the screw until it starts tightening. Since the
tread must still be adjusted, the unit must not
be tightened fully.
Moreover, before assembling the module,
insert the P105 plug from behind.

Now adjust the module according to the “P”
tread size.
This value must be measured starting from the
front part of the spacer package until the
reference present on the support flange as
shown in fig. 14.
Fully tighten the K127 screw which was
previously left lose, paying particular attention
to the position of the spacer package, which
needs to remain aligned with the support.
The use of a r i g i d r ef e re n ce guide is
recommended to be applied to the sides of
the pipe with clamps during the operation.
Assemble the L20 step on the K101 support
by means of the B205 screws as shown in

according to the same procedure until the first
L21 is achieved where the staircase starts
turning. Mount the P107 support on the L21 step
by using the pre-existing holes and make sure
to insert the square nut with relevant security
dowel as illustrated above. Inset a K63banister
column into the top step support and lock it
temporarily in the position illustrated in fig. 19.
Check that the module is positioned in the PMax tread position, then place the L21 step as
shown in fig.19 and lock it by means of B205
Adjust the step in the maximum tread position,
i.e.all the way in the front,until the most advanced
position is achieved. (fig. 19)
Lock the module in the position achieved and
make sure that during the operation the spacer
package remains aligned with the module,
including the vertical direction of the column.
WARNING!!!
While the steps are being assembled, the
unit that is being formed should be
supported so that it does not press on the
support of spacer package (see the “SUPP.”
example fig. 20). This should be done every
three/four steps (see Example in fig. 20) to
facilitate assembling the starting module
after having reached the ground.

In this case, the K125 extension should be
mounted and connected to the top rod.
The package contains a K125 column.
Cut K125 to achieve a length amounting to three
times the size of the rise T=3*A, and proceed

Similarly, proceed to mount the L22 turning step by
following the same procedure described above.
Also in this case, the step must be positioned in the
furthest backward possible tread position (P min) (fig.
21)
Anchor the column and extension definitively to their
P107 supports, insert the P110 plug into the column
hole as shown in fig. 22.
After having completed the assembly of the staircase,
according to the selected configuration, one further
turning step (U configuration) or straight step (L or wide
U configurations) must be inserted.
In either case, the procedure is the same as the
procedure described above.
Remember that if a straight step is mounted, the K101
support module must be adjusted again according to
the .P. tread as shown in fig. 22.

To complete the operation, cover all anchoring screws
(arrival and departure modules) with their relevant K131
caps. In the arrival module, the heads of the screws
must be covered directly, whereas the cap must be
glued on the holes left empty, Fig, 34
Via C.Colombo, 22/A - 42046 - Reggiolo - Reggio Emilia - Italy
In certain cases, no support column may be added, as shown above; in such cases it is advisable to support the
staircase by means of a K121 support bracket to be inserted by drilling a min 150 mm deep hole in the wall closer
to the staircase and embed the bracket as described in fig. 35.
Then mount the P90 closing cap on the pipe head.

An intermediate column may be mounted on the step. It shall be positioned between the two columns
mounted previously.
Measure the distance between the two supports, position the P110 support between them and trace
the position of the holes, as shown in figure 39.
The drilling and column assembly procedure is the same as illustrated before.

Via C.Colombo, 22/A - 42046 - Reggiolo - Reggio Emilia - Italy
Now the correct position of the columns assembled needs to be checked. Check that they are vertical and that the
- STILO 70 - STILO 83 -
cable supports face outside the staircase, as shown in fig. 36
Near the step preceding the first turning step an additional column must be assembled. It must be cut to achieve a
height that is half the rise .A.: T = A / 2
Between the two supports anchored before, trace the position of a third element as shown in fig. 36.
The assembly procedure is the same as the procedure described above.
Anchor everything by means of the relevant B203 kit screws. Then, insert the P110 cap at the foot of the column.
Mount an additional column on the last step, at a distance equal to the tread size, as shown in fig. 36. Moreover, it
is advisable to assemble an additional support anchored to the top side of the step, so that the column is anchored
in a stiffer and safer way.
Adjust the height so that it matches those mounted before and does not project beyond its support.

Place the handrail on the first support approx. 40-50 mm far from the first column (fig. 37)
- STILO 70 - STILO 83 -
By referring to the housing, drill a Ø3 preliminary hole to anchor the handrail in its K65 housing.
Make sure that it is correctly placed into its housings, no gaps are left between them Anchor the handrail by means
of the dedicated K66 kit screw.
Proceed until the last column before the staircase turns has been reached.
WARNING!!!
When assembling the handrail make sure that the k65 supports shaped like a “saddle” face the inner part
of the staircase.
After having reached the last column before the staircase turns, cut the handrail and leave the exceeding part so that
the K68 plug can be mounted.
We suggest to mount the plug before the final anchoring of the handrail on the column.
Resume assembling the handrail after the staircase has turned by proceeding in the same way until reaching the last
column mounted on the final step.
Cut the excessive part of the handrail and leave a 40-50 mm projecting part.
All configurations envisage that an additional column must be mounted on the last straight step before the staircase
turns. Figure 38 shows the example of a “U” staircase.
