Half Round Starter Stair Tread
(The first step up a staircase
that is typically a little larger to accept the newel post
and possibly some smaller spindles)
Starter stair treads can be made in a number
of different designs depending on the overall layout of
your steps but here is information about the most common
wood starter step that we get asked for..
Half Round Starter
Stair Tread:
 As
you can see by the picture of this oak stair tread, the
entire left hand end is rounded, until it meets the corner
of the stringer... thus it gets its name as a "half"
round starting step.
The bullnose continues from along the front
edge of the tread, right around the curved left side until
the tread meets the stringer and then the step is notched
back to match the depth of the remaining stairs.
A = the length that the tread hangs over the edge
of the stringer. At a minimun it must be at least one half
the distance of "D". In other words if your starter
step has a 12" (D) half round end, the "A"
should be at least 6" so that it meets the stringer square
on.
B = the overall length of the tread from one side
to the other
C = the standardized depth of the tread, not
including the notched section for the half round end. This
is usually 10 1/4" or 11 1/4" , designed to match
the rest of the staircase.
D = the depth of the half round finished end. We have
templates made for 12", 14" and 15". Any other
size can be made, but incur extra design charge to make a
new template.
E = length of the tread just up until it hits the
notch
These are the measurements that we need to
make sure we cut a starter tread to match your existing
box.... then you can order a wood starting step wholesale
direct from ourselves as the manufacturer!
