A glue block would be any board or piece of wood that
would be glued to another piece of wood. Glue blocks are usually used to
add structural supports to the back of a stair tread or riser. They can
also be used to provide additional support for other stair parts, during
the installation of a stairway.
The picture above shows a block of wood, behind a
stairway riser. This block of wood can be glued, screwed or nailed to
the back of the stair riser to provide additional support for the
installation of a newel post or other hand rail parts.
Glue blocks work great and provide stair builders with another method
for creating stronger stairs and solving difficult construction
problems. |
