Thanks, this is really helpful 👍
Glad to hear that!
Will adding risers changes the weight distribution significantly for the floating stair? I am afraid for long term, it may degrade the stair because the weight distribution has been altered from its original design. I want to know for sure before I add risers to my stair. Thank you!
What about adding blocking between the stringers from behind so from the front you would see the stringer face with blocking in between creating an overall solid riser surface?
Blocking could work.
Thank you!
Welcome!
The stairs in my house from 1st to 2nd floor are starting to twist and sag on one side. Would it be feasible to put some blocking in between the stringers and the studs so as to not pull the stringers apart and then sink some heavy duty screws through the stringer and blocking to attach them to the studs to keep them from sagging any further?
You can try it and if it doesn't work, you might need a new stairway. If needed you might use additional bracing below or above the stairs.
