Step 2 · Measure Each Unique Step with Care

Start by measuring the width of the step at its widest point, which is usually the outer edge. Let your flexible tape follow the curve for an accurate reading. Next, measure the depth from the front edge (we call this the 'nosing') to the back where it meets the riser. Use your protractor or angle finder to capture the curve's angle. A crucial tip for success: always measure from the same reference point on every step. This consistency is what ensures your new treads will look uniform and beautiful.
