Stair Risers

Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast

Attention To Detail With Quality Stair Rises

Stair risers are vertical panels that form the back of each step on a staircase. They are an important part of the staircase structure, as they support the treads and help distribute the weight of those walking up or down the stairs.

Stair risers are typically made of materials such as wood, metal, or concrete and are available in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns to match the decor of your home or business.

Advantages of using stair risers include:

  • Safety: Stair risers help ensure the stability of the staircase and prevent tripping or slipping hazards.
  • Aesthetics: Stair risers can add visual interest and style to your staircase and can be used to match or complement other elements of your decor.
  • Durability: Many materials used for stair risers, such as metal and concrete, are durable and long-lasting, ensuring your staircase will last for many years to come.
  • Easy maintenance: Stair risers made of materials such as metal or concrete are easy to clean and maintain, making them a great option for high-traffic areas.

At Craftsman Stairs, we offer a wide range of stair riser options to fit your design and functional needs. Contact us to learn more about our products and services.

Bringing The Old And New Staircase Design Into Your Home Or Business

Brisbane and The Sunshine Coast

Combining the old and new in staircase design can create a unique and stunning look for your home or business. Here are some ideas for blending traditional and modern elements:

  • Mixing Materials: Use traditional materials, such as wood or stone, in a modern way. For example, combining a traditional wooden tread with a sleek glass railing creates a beautiful contrast.
  • Integrating Lighting: Adding lighting to a traditional staircase can give it a modern twist, making it both functional and visually appealing.
  • Combining Shapes: Mixing traditional and modern shapes can create an eye-catching staircase design. For example, combining a traditional curved staircase with modern square balusters creates a unique look.
  • Using Different Finishes: Using different finishes, such as paint, stain, or metal, can create an interesting blend of old and new.
  • Adding Details: Adding modern details, such as glass panel inserts or decorative metal elements, to a traditional staircase can give it a fresh and updated look.

Stair Risers VS Treads

Stair risers and treads are two critical components of a staircase. Understanding the difference between these two components is important for anyone looking to build or renovate a staircase.

  • Stair Treads: Stair treads are the horizontal surface of the staircase that you step on as you ascend or descend. They are usually made from materials like wood, concrete, or stone and are available in a variety of finishes and designs. The treads’ size and shape can impact the staircase’s overall look and feel and affect its functionality and safety.
  • Stair Risers: Stair risers are the vertical portion of the staircase that runs between each tread. They provide support for the treads and help define each step’s height. Stair risers are usually made from materials like wood, concrete, or stone and are typically painted or finished to match the treads and the rest of the staircase.

In summary, stair treads and risers work together to form a staircase’s steps and provide a safe and functional surface for ascending and descending. When building or renovating a staircase, it is important to carefully consider both the treads and risers in order to ensure a safe and functional staircase design.
