The
Purpose of Stair Nosing What is the purpose of stair nosing?
Well for one it makes the stairway looked nice. I like the look of the
carpeting as it rolls over the stair nosing and onto the riser.
Inspecting a Stairway The first thing you want to do when
inspecting a stairway is to give it a visual inspection. Look for
anything out of the ordinary, along with any irregularities. Again
you're going to be looking for anything out of place, missing, loose,
broken or damaged.
Dangers Using Wood Stair Cleats I would imagine most people
don't even know what it wood stair cleat is, in construction we have so
many words that describe the same thing. A stair cleat is another word
for a thread bracket.
Metal Stair Tread Brackets Metal stair tread brackets are
used instead of wood cleats and for plenty of good reasons. Wood stair
cleats or tread brackets often become a safety hazard over time, as the
wood starts to deteriorate.
2 X 12 or 3 X 12 Stair Treads If you've built as many
stairways as I have, this is a very simple question to answer. Should I
use 2 x 12 or 3 x 12 for my stair treads? Without a doubt I would use
the 3 x 12 for a couple of reasons.
