How
Tongue and Groove stringers work:
•
The Stringers are milled for finished interior
stairs.

• The purpose of the Tongue and Grove is to eliminate
the gap normally seen between the stringers and to form
one solid finished stringer in either a paint grade finish
or a stain grade finish.
• The stringer will now act as either a finished skirt
board or a decorative finished knee wall stringer or
both in the case of a stair built against a wall. Carpeted
or Stain Grade Treads and Risers may be added.
• Finished stain grade Treads and Risers may be attached
directly to the brackets, instantly forming a finished
stain grade stair and eliminating 80% + of the trim work
normally required.
• Additionally, Treads and Risers may be pre finished,
adding another level of significant savings.
• The method is simple......Stringers are assembled in
the same manner as for any EZ-Stairs stringer.
• Once the brackets are adjusted for the desired rise
and run, the fixing screws are set into the bottom stringer
only, locking in the rise and run.
• The top pivot screws are then removed from each bracket,
freeing the top stringer. This allows the two stringers
to then, be pushed together, engaging the Tongue and
Grove.
• The remaining screws are then set into the top stringer,
forming one solid, perfectly aligned stringer from the
two halves.
•Note- Tongue & Groove stairs can be carpeted or not
carpeted.
