Stones Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I'm just at the point of ordering my stairs. We are having oak treads, but otherwise the visible parts of the stair will be painted white. Stringer - 32mm Pine Treads - a choice of 21mm or 30mm oak Risers - 9mm plywood or 21mm pine Would appreciate thoughts on which thickness of oak tread and type of riser to go for.

Oz07 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Will you be painting the riser? I'd opt for ply if not. It won't develop any shakes so reduces chances of staircase creaking in future. Oak is susceptible to shakes so probably go for 30mm if it doesn't bust the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 That's very helpful, thanks. Riser is going to be painted along with the stringer. Going to go 30mm Oak (not a huge uplift) and the pine riser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
