Rehabilitating an old staircase or building a new one means purchasing a collection of top-quality components, including quality stair treads and the tread brackets to attach them to the stair stringer. The parts used in constructing a staircase come together to create a breathtaking whole.
The choice you make for each part decides the final appearance of the stairway, from the wood stair riser used to create the front portion of each step to the metal or wood treads used for the top portion of each step. Finish your staircase design with hardwood stair caps and decorative newel post toppers.
Selecting the Right Stair Treads for Your Home
When choosing tread parts, you have two decisions to make - the metal or wood stair tread and the landing tread. The wood for all the treads should match, so if you choose walnut stair treads, you’ll need a walnut landing, too. Match your wooden stair caps to the treads for the best results.
The treads can either match the color of the risers or contrast, but the contrasting colors need to work well together. To create an Americana decor, for example, pair oak or white oak treads with matching risers. If you prefer a dark academia or Victorian decor, try pairing hickory or walnut treads and risers. Mid-century modern or farmhouse decor uses a painted white or cream wood stair riser with treads in light or medium wood tones.
Upgrade Your Staircase with Premium Stair Risers
Beyond choosing the color combination, choose solid risers of hearty woods. The riser supports the stair treads, while the combination of the tread and the stringer supports the metal or wood balusters. Choose a thick, strong wood stair riser designed for the type of stairs you’re building. For example, hardwoods work better for outdoor stairs. Building outside also requires weather-treated wood.

Installation Methods For Risers & Treads
Installing risers and treads can be a straightforward process when done correctly. The first step is to accurately measure your stairs to ensure that each tread and riser fits perfectly. For wooden stairs, like those with white oak or hardwood treads, it's essential to use the right type of adhesive and fasteners to secure them in place. This not only ensures a seamless fit but also adds to the structural integrity of the stairs.
When installing solid wood treads, it's important to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. This can be achieved by leaving a small gap between the treads, risers, or walls. For staircases that see heavy use, reinforcing the treads with additional screws or nails can provide extra stability. Finally, finishing the newly installed treads and risers with a coat of sealant or varnish protects the wood and enhances its natural beauty, giving your stairs a polished and professional look.
