When designing your staircase, one design detail that can drastically change the overall look of your staircase is choosing closed riser treads.

Choosing closed riser treads for your staircase can create a unique zigzag effect, giving the illusion of a floating staircase. These type of staircases are called cantilevered stairs. They are anchored on one side of the staircase with a steel frame, then later covered with wood treads. The results, an immaculate design for any contemporary or modern home.

Closer riser treads can also be chosen for other types of staircases. Another type of staircase you can design with closed riser treads are center-beam staircases. These type of staircase designs can create a nice contemporary ambiance to your home. Closed riser treads adds an unexpected elegance to any staircase design. Whether you are trying to create a modern look or an industrial style, it can be achieved by simply choosing closed riser treads.
