The three main parts of a staircase are :
Tread- The part of the staircase, horizontal to the floor, that a person steps on while walking between floors. Usually has a bull nose edge finish.
Riser- Risers work as a backing to the tread to keep the foot from traveling past the edge of the tread. They are vertical to floor.
Stringer- The purpose of the stringer is to contain both the tread and the riser and provide structure to the staircase. This component runs at a diagonal from floor to floor.
