Specifications

What it's used for

• Forming the curved riser at the bottom step of a new staircase where a bullnose profile is specified
• Replacing a worn or damaged bottom riser during staircase renovation work
• Pairing with matching beech stair treads for a coordinated, light-toned staircase finish
• Bespoke joinery projects where a factory-formed riser shape is needed to keep site work to a minimum

Fitting and handling

Allow the riser to acclimatise to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before fixing, keeping it flat and supported to prevent any movement in the board. Fix using a combination of construction adhesive and countersunk screws from behind where possible, ensuring the face remains clean and free from fastener marks. Store flat in a dry, ventilated space away from direct heat sources until you are ready to install.

FAQ

What is a bullnose riser used for on a staircase?

A bullnose riser is fitted vertically at the front of the bottom step. The curved profile gives the step a rounded appearance at the leading edge and is a common detail on traditional and contemporary UK staircases alike.

Will this riser match standard beech stair treads?

Yes. The beech facing is intended to coordinate with beech stair treads. For the closest match, source your treads and risers from the same batch where possible, as natural timber can vary in grain and tone between batches.

Can this bullnose riser be painted or stained?

The beech face can be stained, oiled, or sealed with a clear lacquer. If you intend to paint it, lightly sand the surface first and apply a suitable wood primer before your chosen topcoat. Avoid water-based products that could raise the grain without a preparatory sealing coat.
