Retro Risers

Stair risers are the vertical pieces of wood that are installed between each stair tread. Retro-fit or retro replacement risers are 1/4" thick and are designed to be installed over an existing riser.

We offer retro replacement risers in over 35 different species, available in prefinished, unfinished, and white...

Choosing between painted white risers and matching stain color and wood species risers can be a tough choice but we find it boils down to geographic location and design preference. In the Southeastern United States, we find the preference tends towards white risers, while in the Northeast, we find a heavy trend towards risers matching the stain and species of the stair. At Stair-Treads.com, we offer stair risers in both prefinished and unfinished in 35 different species as well as white.

Unfinished risers are shipped sanded for you to finish on site with a coat of your favorite stain and top-coat after some minor sanding and prep-work.

Wood risers are a beautiful addition to any staircase and add real value to your home. Our prefinished risers are finished using the exact same methods and machinery as our stair treads for a superior finish and extended durability. By finishing the risers at the same time as the stair tread, the best possible color and sheen match is ensured. Just like our stair treads, UV absorbers are added to our prefinished risers to prolong the beauty of the finish.

When ordering risers, order the same length as the tread for the best fit.

All oaks and exotic wood species retro risers are 1/4" thick by 7-1/4" tall. White retro risers are shipped oversized (typically 7-3/4") to allow for on-site cutting and may be solid wood or veneered plywood. In some cases, we may use veneered plywood to help offset any warping or cupping issues that can be found in thin lumber stock.
