I have a staircase in a house 9 years old where both the treads and risers are made from MDF. The joint at the front of the treads has held, but more or less every step has had the riser break away from the rear of the tread.
Originally, 3-4 screws were used through the risers and token blobs of glue can be found. Screws have then snapped or pulled free from the treads so each step makes a lot of noise where treads grate on loose fixings.
I imagine I can carpet bomb each step with new screws and glue, but is this going to last?
Any other solutions or advice on suitable fixings is much appreciated.
