Staircase Riser Styles

The next design detail you need to choose is the type of riser you want for your stairs.  Each provides a unique perspective and should reflect the overall design concept of your home.

This style of risers closes off the treads. This is the ideal choice for homes that focus on safety with small children, pets and elderly family members. Closed risers are also ideal for more traditional staircase designs.

Open riser staircase with modern glass railings

Open Risers

Choosing open rises will create a more open and airy staircase design, suitable for more modern and contemporary home designs. It creates the illusion of additional space, especially when paired with glass railings.
