White risers are a beautiful and economical addition to any staircase. They are especially popular in homes with other white trim and molding. White risers are also a great way to lighten a dark staircase or provide definition between steps.
When ordering risers, you'll typically order the same length as the tread. These retro risers are designed to reface an existing riser while being thin enough not to offset your new retro treads past any existing skirtboard.
Our white retro risers are shipped with an anti-scuff laminate on the surface and are ready to install. Standard riser dimensions are 1/4" nominal (3/16" actual) thick by 7-3/4" tall by 42" long.

Product Note: There may be some minor chipping of the white coating which occurs during transit. This is normal and is intended to be trimmed during installation since the risers are oversized for most applications.
Installation Note: Latex paint will not adhere to the coating on the retro risers - if painting the retro risers, additional prep work will be required.

These risers are designed to be used with our Retro stair treads as part of the complete staircase remodeling system

Product Questions and Answers
  1. Q:Is the price liisted an individual price or a package price? If it's a package price, how many treads and or risers come in a package?
    A:The prices on our website is a unit price and you can order as many or as few as you need with no minimum orders!
  2. Q:We have stairs that currently have carpet oh them. Will this product work after we remove the carpet?
    A:This item is used to cover the existing riser once the carpet is removed.
  3. Q:what prep work is needed for the primed riser for painting?
    A:Our new white risers can be installed as-is and have a coating on them which makes them scuff resistant but also a little more difficult to paint. If you do want to paint the riser, you will need to first prime the riser with a coating to help adhesion of latex paint. We recommend a product like "Kilz" or other brand that is designed to promote adhesion of latex paints. Alternatively, you may want to look at an oil-based paint as these typically have better adhesion rates than latex. Always test an area for adhesion and color before painting.
  4. Q:The product description states the width as 7-3/4" but the standard dimensions link with the drawings shows 7-1/4". Which is the actual height of this riser? Are you able to supply a custom height on this retro-riser?
    A:The white retro risers are 7-3/4" tall. All other risers (including the white traditional risers) are 7-1/4" tall. If you need taller risers, we can customize the width, give us a call at (866) 429-0979 with your requirements and we'll be happy to help
  5. Q:Will this riser work on a curve treads??
    A:Most likely no. It does have some flex to it but you will most likely need a pre-made curved starter riser: https://www.stair-treads.com/moulding-and-accessories/starting-steps.html?profile=160 These are built to fit under our starter standard tread dimensions: https://www.stair-treads.com/faq/standard-stair-tread-dimensions.html
  6. Q:Is there a certain saw blade or technique that you can recommend to cut these?
    A:When making crosscuts, the higher the tooth count on the blade the better. Higher tooth-count blades minimize chipping. This article has some more useful information: https://www.stair-treads.com/blog/cutting-stair-treads
