Interior Wooden Staircase
A stringer that closes off the ends of the treads and risers is a closed stringer. If the stair is built between walls the stringer may be called a wall stringer. In this case the stringer is attached to the wall and transfers the stair load directly to the wall. It is generally sized to accommodate the tread and riser, and align with skirtings.
Interior timber stairs can be constructed as shown in Figures Solid timber or medium density fibreboard sheet (MDF) may be used in the construction. MDF is normally used for treads and risers. It is glued and screwed while solid timber may be nailed and screwed.
