#3 oak railing with square painted pickets and Grand oak newel post - Finishing touches - stairs and railing images

This picture is of our #3 railing style in oak, with 1 1/4" square wood baluster in poplar. Oak newel Post is our Grand newel post design with 6" base, box detail and cap. The stair is an 1 1/4" poplar stringer with an 1 1/8" oak stair tread and a 1/2" pnt grd. faced riser. It is a cut one side (C1S) closed rise (CR) stair for site supported application.

Design note: The last oak tread at the bottom of the stair is called a bullnose tread, in this case because the stair extends beyond the wall, the tread is a double bullnose tread that has been notched to fit the wall. The stair stringer configuration is an open or Cut one side. Notice how the wall side of the stair has a different stringer then the open side of the stair. The step overhangs the stringer on the side opposite the wall. This stair combines oak and paint grade wood where the treads, newel post and railing are of a stain grade oak and the stringers, risers and balusters are of a paint grade material. Also, notice the wall below the open side of the stair, this is what is supporting that side of the stair, if that wall was not there, then that stringer would be of a thicker material to take up the support function the wall is providing.

#3 railing with square pickets and Grand newel post (2) - Finishing touches - stairs and railing images

This image is of the stairs leading to the basement for this home. The existing stairs have been reused and the new railing system continued from the main floor has been install.

Design note: This is a good example of the difference between a C1S stringer configured stair and an H2S stringer configured stair also showing a supported and unsupported inside stringer. On the image below, you will notice that the balusters sit on top of the stringer and that there is no support wall under the upper set of stairs in the picture which is the exact opposite of the picture above where the treads overhanging the inside stringer and it has been "cut" away to expose the tread edge and to allow the balusters to sit down on the tread.
