Stairs - material choice

[Stones]

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.

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.

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.
