Library

The ABIS library is a collection of useful reference material relating to buildings and their problems as well as timber pests such as termites.

The library is a combination of material written by ABIS as a result of our own research and practical experience together with useful information gleaned from other authoritative sources.

 

Bullnose Step

A Bullnose Step is usually at the bottom of the stairs with one or both ends of the step having a quarter circle design. Where stairs are open on one or both sides, the first step may be wider than the other steps and rounded to allow the balusters to form a wider, more stable base for the end of the handrail. Handrails that simply end at a post at the foot of the stairs can be less sturdy, even with a thick post.
