Adding Risers To Open Staircase

Not really our taste.

Adding risers to open staircase.

We have an open staircase no riser and with our little girl on the verge of crawling we would like to secure the stairs this would of course be in addition to having a gate how hard is it to install risers. Right now i have an open staircase pls see stairs 1 stairs 2 and stairs 3 i want to close up the whole thing so add risers and then sheetrock the bottom to close that off. In addition to making your stairs safer covering the risers may be required by your local building code if you plan improvements to your cellar. The fascia that covers their risers may be missing.

Look at ways to add plywood over the back of each riser and perhaps install tile on riser fronts. Another option is to make sketches of the stairs with colored pencils to consider adding wood veneer over plywood on each riser. Hi all looking for a little guidance here. We want to fill in the risers replace the banister and hand rail.

This is tricky to do on open tread so i m wanting to know an easy way to add risers to these stairs given there is not much access behind the stairs. Not only does it really show dirt and wear and tear we have a curious young toddler and would like to carpet down the centre of the stairs to minimise future fall impacts. Have you seem other approaches to secure such stairs without installing risers we like the open feel of our stairs and would like to. Houses of a certain age or with un improved basements feature open stairs containing only stringers and treads.

We have recently moved into a terrace house with a 70 s open plan staircase the treads are in hardwood attached to the side of the staircase but there are no risers. For example look through magazines to see if a staircase with all hardwood components will fit your room. See more ideas about open staircase staircase stairs.
