Stair risers are a key element of any staircase. Commonly available in different types of natural and synthetic materials, these horizontally placed pieces support each step along the entire length of your stairway. The main function of stair risers is to support the treads on the stairway. They also make a stair case look more closed off and complete.
Stair risers are available in a variety of materials including many different types of wood. At St. Charles Hardwoods, you can choose from wood risers such as red oak, white oak, poplar, and maple wood risers as well as risers made from many other synthetic materials. You can also opt for customized risers with specific detailing and design to suit the interiors of your home. You can also finish wood risers with stain, paint, tile, or other materials in order to enhance the look of your staircase.
Two of the biggest considerations when building a stairway are determining the number of steps and the size of the treads and risers. While figuring out the number of stairs is relatively simpler, deciding on the size of the treads and risers requires more research. In many cases, building codes will dictate the appropriate height that your stair risers should be. The standard height for stair risers is typically between 7 inches and 8 ½ inches.
How to Find the Right Riser Height: There are certain rules of thumb you can apply to determine the ideal stair riser height for your home. These rules ensure that the stairs are comfortable to use and are not too shallow or steep.
