Why Are Open Tread Staircases Becoming So Popular

February 3, 2021 by Windsor Bespoke Leave a Comment

Why are open tread staircases becoming so popular?

Stairs can be classified into open treads or closed treads.

Open tread staircases, also known as floating stairs, have a vertical space in between adjacent treads, while solid treads are the conventional option, in which there is a solid piece that encloses the stairs between the treads.

While both options have their advantages, open treads, in particular, are gaining in popularity. The growing trend is largely due to their transparency and visual appeal. This is especially true in modern homes.

Floating stairs are attractive to architects and homeowners alike, they are versatility and have pleasing aesthetics. They provide a contemporary look that is ideal for minimalist-styled houses, creating an elegant and airy atmosphere.

Every homeowner searches for ways to optimise their space.

An open tread staircase not only creates a spacious feeling within the home but it also provides more space for the homeowner.

Open riser stairs are quickly becoming the more attractive option for custom staircases. This is because open risers have many functional and stylistic benefits that closed risers lack.

They’re transparent and let in light

Open risers are, of course, open, and their transparency lets in far more natural light than a closed riser staircase can. They also don’t interrupt your line of sight, making an area look larger than it is and meshing well with an open floorplan.

They’re minimalist and modern

Minimalism and sleek, modern designs are popular styles now-a-days, and open riser stairs check both of those boxes with their simple and transparent design.

They’re versatile

Because you can design them to fit almost any configuration—straight, curved, or spiral—open riser stairs are ultimately more versatile than their traditional counterparts. They can also be made out of just about any material, too, such as metal, stone, glass, or wood.
