Riser  Risers are the boards that form the vertical face of each step.  This creates the "toe kick" area between the stair treads.   Standard riser sizes include 36", 42" and 48" lengths.* Various thickness options are offered to accommodate most staircase configurations. White primed risers are available in 48" and 60" lengths, 3/4" thick MDF board Certain exotics are offered in nominal 48" lengths. To ensure optimal fit next to the stair tread, risers are not distressed, hand-scraped or wire brushed, but will still color blend to the tread/floor.
