Abstract

A stair system including an upper tread having a substantially planar body portion, a stair nose portion located at one side of the planar body portion, and a dado located behind the stair nose portion, at least one lower tread, the lower tread having a substantially planar body portion, a stair nose portion located at one side of the planar body portion, a dado located behind the stair nose portion, and a groove located at a side opposite the stair nose portion, and at least two risers, each riser having a substantially planar body portion. In the stair system, one of the at least two risers is receivable between the dado of the upper tread and the groove of the lower tread and the other of the at least two risers is receivable in the dado of the lower tread. Methods for assembling a stair system are also provided.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part application of prior application Ser. No. 11 / 714,774, filed Mar. 7, 2007, which is currently pending, and is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is generally directed to a stair system, and more particularly to modular treads and risers of a stair system.

[0004] 2. Description of Related Art

[0005] Generally, stair systems having nose moldings have been constructed in a similar manner using the same basic methods. For example, most stair systems employ a plurality of stringers having tread sides cut out, on which are secured tread sub flooring that span between the stringers. The stringers also have riser sides cut out, on which are secured riser sub floorings that also span between the stringers. Depending on the finishing materials for the stair system, a tread and riser may be mounted to the tread sub flooring or ca...
