What is the proper name for this bridge or ramp joining three bedrooms and the staircase? We are installing,sanding and finishing this area, the staircase and the bedrooms with 3/4 x 3 Brazilian Walnut (Ipe).

Everyone on the job calls this area a different name.

"An accident waiting to happen" is what I would call it. :lol: Be careful working up there.

Floorguy,
There must be no standard name for this so Causway will do just fine.

Jerry,
When we sand an area like this I will walk along with the guy doing the sanding (usually one of my son's) and watch every move he makes. We also do not strap our-selves to the machine. Installing up there was not to bad but sanding with the Hummel is dangerous.

Installing a temporary rail would be the smart thing to do and I will demand one on the next job like this.
