Step 2 · Step 2: Measure Tread Depth

Using your tape measure, find the depth of your stair tread. Place the end of the tape at the very front edge of the step—what we call the 'nosing'—and measure straight back until you touch the 'riser,' which is the vertical part of the stair. Keeping the tape measure flat and straight is crucial for an accurate measurement, ensuring our custom-made treads will fit just right.
