White risers are a beautiful and economical addition to any staircase. They are especially popular in homes with other white trim and molding. White risers are also a great way to lighten a dark staircase or provide definition between steps.
When ordering risers, you'll typically order the same length as the tread. These retro risers are designed to reface an existing riser while being thin enough not to offset your new retro treads past any existing skirtboard.
Our white retro risers are shipped with an anti-scuff laminate on the surface and are ready to install. Standard riser dimensions are 1/4" nominal (3/16" actual) thick by 7-3/4" tall by 54" long.

Product Note: There may be some minor chipping of the white coating which occurs during transit. This is normal and is intended to be trimmed during installation since the risers are oversized for most applications.
Installation Note: Latex paint will not adhere to the coating on the retro risers - if painting the retro risers, additional prep work will be required.

These risers are designed to be used with our Retro stair treads as part of the complete staircase remodeling system

Product Questions and Answers
  1. Q:What is 1/4-in white Retro Riser made of? It looks like primed MDF/HDH board, but does not say.
    A:The white retro risers are plywood with a white liner laminated to one face
  2. Q:Can I stain this tread any color I want?
    A:Yes. Unfinished hardwood treads accept any oil-based or water-based stain. Sand lightly with 120-grit, apply chosen stain, allow to dry, then apply 2–3 coats of polyurethane. For floor matching: bring a floor sample to a paint store to identify the correct stain. We also offer a Red Oak Stain Colors Sample Pack for testing before committing to full treads.
  3. Q:Is 36 inches a standard stair tread width?
    A:36" is the standard minimum width for townhomes, condos, basement staircases, and older homes. Most US residential building codes require a minimum 36" clear stair width. If measuring a tight staircase — townhouse, older colonial, or basement — 36" treads will typically fit. Always measure wall to wall before ordering.
  4. Q:What is the difference between retro risers and traditional risers?
    A:Retro risers are designed to install over existing risers — same concept as retro treads. Traditional risers (3/4" thick) are used in new construction or when replacing the full stair assembly. Retro risers are the correct pairing for retro tread installations; traditional risers pair with traditional tread replacements.
  5. Q:What material are the iron balusters made from?
    A:WoodStairCo iron balusters are made from wrought iron — a solid, heavy-gauge metal that provides long-lasting structural strength and a traditional crafted appearance. Available in a range of profiles from plain square to ornamental designs. Standard finish options include satin black and oil-rubbed bronze. Wrought iron balusters are suitable for both contemporary and traditional staircases and carry a lifetime finish warranty under normal residential use.
  6. Q:Do I need to install risers when I install new stair treads?
    A:Not always. Open-riser staircases have no risers by design. Closed staircases already have risers that may not need replacing unless damaged. For a full retro tread installation, replacing risers at the same time gives the cleanest result — especially if existing risers are chipped, stained, or mismatched. Retro risers use the same adhesive + brad nailer method as treads.
