Open stair risers with closed stringers present a visually light and modern staircase design. Open risers lack the solid vertical component, providing a sense of openness and improving the flow of light. Despite the risers being open, closed stringers on either side encase the stair treads, providing essential structural support and a defined border. This arrangement balances the aesthetic of minimalism and openness with the robustness of closed stringers. Suitable for contemporary interior designs, this concept integrates functionality and style, creating an airy staircase that can help make spaces appear larger and more open.
Open Closed Stair Profiles are constructed with typical stair tread thicknesses between 1.5”-4” (3.8-10.2 cm) and allowable nosing overlaps of 1”-1.5” (2.5-3.8 cm).
Stair treads have a minimum allowable depth of 11” (28 cm) with riser heights between 4”-7” (10-18 cm). Stair nosings can protrude between 1”-1.5” (2.5-3.8 cm) with a maximum riser angle of 30 degrees.
