Do these work OK for you under a carpeted finish?
What’re you paying for 36″ to 38″ lengths of each? My yard’s website doesn’t list them in their pricing and availability schedules.

They have to be kept dry. Any water at all and they will start to swell, then the swollen areas start to flake off.
I began using them for a GC in the area, I am not a big fan of them. After they are glued and screwed into place they are as solid as a 2x tread.
I haven't seen or used the PB risers before but I imagine the same issues apply.

I used PB treads on this stairwell, and after the pictures I covered them with cardboard so they wouldn't swell.
If possible use temporary treads and install the PB ones just before carpet is installed.
Nice winders.
Can you please take a couple pics - from below - to show how you framed or cut the risers in the winder zone?
thx

They are just a series of boxes stacked on top of each other,
I don't have any pictures from underneath, I can probably get some this week.
3/4 with a top of 1/2, both Advantec covered with carpet and all is OK to date. Lots of PL 400. Cows would not hurt the staircase.
The temps were torn up prior to install. I expect these to last longer than me.
