Step 2 · Confirm Overhang and Determine Ideal Tread Width for Safety and Style
It's time to confirm those critical dimensions for both safety and the perfect aesthetic. Double-check that the nosing overhang you just measured is comfortably within our recommended ¾-inch to 1¼-inch range. Additionally, ensure the rounded radius of your bullnose step doesn't exceed ½ inch. These specifications are vital for the secure and beautiful application of your Oak Valley Designs treads. To achieve that truly integrated, professional finish – the kind that looks like it was always meant to be there – you'll want your carpet treads to extend across the entire width of your step.
Ensure your nosing overhang is between ¾" and 1¼", and the bullnose radius is no more than ½" for a secure and stylish fit.
