What is an Open-Riser Staircase?
An open-riser staircase is constructed with treads supported by structural stringers and the absence of vertical risers. The result is a stair that allows for minimal visual obstruction and the maximum presence of light. According to current stair codes, open-rise staircases usually need to be built with thick treads, ranging from 1. 75" to 4". Open-riser staircases can utilize a variety of staircase stringers, including wooden beam, mono stringer, and steel. This type of stair is frequently utilized within modern staircase design that lends itself to an industrial look that blends elements of wooden staircase and steel stair design. Commonly used railing ideas for open-riser staircases include contemporary metal, cable rail and glass balustrades, all of which highlight the open tread staircase design.
Railing and balustrade components can range from wooden and iron balusters to welded steel panels, stainless-steel cable systems and glass panels. The simplicity of the modern look provides fertile ground for creative railing ideas.
