Risers
Risers are vertical components in a staircase that connect each step or tread. They form the vertical portion of the stairway, providing the height between consecutive steps. By supporting the tread and creating the space for each step, they help to establish the overall height and slope of the staircase. They are essential for ensuring the staircase is functional and comfortable to use, as they determine the rise of each step.
Risers are crucial in a staircase because they determine the height between each step, affecting the overall functionality and safety of the staircase. They ensure that each step is evenly spaced and comfortable by providing vertical support. When properly designed, they help prevent accidents by reducing the risk of tripping. Also ensuring that the staircase meets building codes and safety standards. Additionally, risers contribute to the overall stability of the staircase. They support the treads and maintain the structural integrity of the entire stairway.
Here at MrStairs we only offer closed risers but here are some other variants
Here are the types
- Closed:
They provide a traditional look, without any gaps between the treads and vertical sections and help prevent objects from falling through the steps. - Open:
These are designed with gaps between the treads, creating a more open and airy appearance. They allow light and liquid to pass through and can make a staircase look lighter and less bulky. - Half-Risers:
Half-risers are shorter than the standard. When using these, customers sometimes combine them with standard ones to create a unique design or to meet specific space requirements.
