Measuring for Custom Sizes
How To Measure
To order custom sizes, use our easy Decorative Stair Riser Measuring and Cutting Guide (Acrobat PDF), to record your measurements. It's so easy, anybody can do it!
- Measure the exposed width of the first riser on your set of stairs, starting at the bottom step.
- Using the Decorative Stair Riser Measuring and Cutting Guide, record the first width measurement on the line provided (01 Riser, width)
