Modern staircase design with timber flooring has 3 essential elements
Timber Stair Nosings
The over-hanging edge at the top of the stair treads.
Stair nosings get the most wear of a step and require either an anti-slip adhesive strip or coating to meet industry regulations.
All Lifewood stair nosings are precoated with an unnoticeable anti-slip finish.
Timber Stair Risers
A stair riser is the vertical section of a step which fills the distance from one step to the next.
The riser is the most visible part of a step when looking from the bottom requiring that perfect finish.
Timber Stair Treads
The flat surface area completing the top section of the step.
Open treads are individual steps made of solid wood which don’t require risers or nosings.
See examples of open tread staircases below.

Between Walls or Stringer
Staircases that are between walls or stringers will consist of a tread, riser and nosing and finish flush with the wall or stringer edge.
