Visualizing Tread Run with Nosing Overhang — Factor in the Nosing for Total Depth
Part of project
Stair Tread Sizing · Step 4 of 6
In this video
The video visually reinforces the concept of nosing by showing the 3D stair model with the 1-inch overhang added to each tread. It reiterates that while the tread run (the space occupied by the stringer's horizontal cut) is 10 inches, the actual walking surface of the tread extends an additional 1 inch due to the nosing, making the total horizontal stepping surface 11 inches. The visual helps solidify the understanding that the stringer's dimensions (the cuts for the treads and risers) are based on the tread run, not the effective tread depth that includes the nosing.
