TREADS & NOSING

This component of design refers to the surface of the step and how it integrates into the flooring.

TREAD COVERS

Tread covers are the walking surface applied to a lumber framed 'traditional' stair structure

NOSING

Nosing is the flooring component which is installed at balcony edges and stair openings as a 'landing tread' or as a design detail at a balcony edge.

BLOCK TREADS

Block treads are used on open riser stairs and are usually intended to be seen from 4 sides on side stringer designs and all 6 sides on under stringer designs.
