Choosing glass stair treads with a steel floating stair stringer system will create a stunning architectural element in your home. There are dozens of varieties of colors, patterns, textures, and finishes available in glass. One important consideration is to choose a tread that has a non-slip surface.
In addition, would you prefer LED lighting for the treads? The combination of glass tread combined with LED lighting can add a dramatic effect to the overall aesthetic of the staircase.
At Keuka Studios we have the capability to create steel stair stringers to accommodate glass treads and hide the LED lighting wires. Tile stair treads can be a beautiful and durable alternative to wood. We can design and fabricate steel stair tread pans to accommodate the selected style tile tread or pavers.
They are durable and require minimal maintenance. For this project below to accommodate composite decking on floating stairs, we designed a steel support system for the treads and the railing posts connect to the steel stringer below the steps. Bluestone Treads are the most common stone tread currently trending for outdoor stair applications. Bluestone treads have a grayish-blue color and are typically 2 inches thick. They add durability and beauty to any outdoor staircase with minimal maintenance required.
In addition, they blend naturally with the adjacent landscape. Limestone Treads can be used for interior and exterior stair projects. It is a natural stone that can be easily shaped and cut to any size. Limestone is highly durable and is widely available. It is available in a variety of color variants ranging from honey creams to grays.
Limestone can be polished to the desired finish. It is important to seal limestone to prevent staining. Metal stair treads are strong and offer a rustic industrial styling. Steel treads pair beautifully with open beam architecture and are often preferred on spiral staircases. With metal treads, it is important to provide some sort of slip protection. This could be in the form of a diamond plate surface, metal grating or a series of hole patterns in the treads.
These, in combination with the riser, stringer and railings, form a staircase. Since each step up or down changes the level of your feet, there is a higher risk of slipping or falling while ascending a staircase versus walking on level flooring. Steps that are made from smooth materials increase this probability, therefore, nosings are often required in local building codes to prevent unfortunate accidents. As steps become worn, they can be renovated with non-slip treads.
These covers have a high coefficient of friction for safety and give the steps a renovated, refreshed look. Our products can cover the front 3 inches of the stair up to the full depth of 11 inches or more. The picture to the right shows a staircase with wood stair treads that include nonslip stair nosings that are flush with the stair.
Straight Tread: A straight tread is a stair where the nosing is straight and no increased front edge curve is present. Convex Tread: A convex tread has a curved front edge between two stringers. Also called closed, routered or housed stringers. From the side view a western stringer is a consistent ribbon with the treads and risers routered into the inside face of the stringer. Also called sawtooth or open stringers.
From the side view an eastern stringer is cut out on the rise and run.
