Here is a drawing detailing our standard stair tread and riser dimensions.
Stair tread return width.
From the original questioner they are 10 1 2 wide treads with a 1 1 2 return.
These dimensions may be useful when laying out a staircase or if you have general questions about the size and shape of a traditional tread or a retro tread.
These stair treads provide exceptional quality and a superior appearance.
Double return stair tread.
What width of return did you do on those treads.
The length of a tread is always determined by measuring the overall length of box treads and single return treads.
Width refers to the distance between the left and right sides of the tread not including the returned edging material 1 per side with edging.
There s also a bit of overhang for lack of proper term on the back of the tread of 1 3 8.
Remodel your ugly carpeted stairs to beautiful hardwood with the retrotread.
Simply tear away your old carpet and install the retrotread.
Retrotread return nosing is reversible for placement on right or left hand open treads.
Designed for easy installation.
Since the mitered returns are always 1 1 4 wide adding the return width is redundant.
Wider nosing hides imperfections in existing stairway.
Standard stair tread dimensions.
Double return stair treads have a mitered return on both the left and right ends.
Use retrotread return nosing to create a mitered return on open treads being remodeled with retrotreads.
Double return treads are measured by the throat length.
For example a tread with a double return will have an overall width 2 wider than the number indicated in the width column above.
Stair treads are colored matched to perfection to give your stairs a unified appearance with edges glued to 11 1 2 width with a 150 grit sanded finish on both sides.
Retrotread return nosing matches nosing profile on retrotreads.
