I am redoing the stairs in my entry way. They were covered with carpet and that is now gone. I have bought some nice oak for the risers and have cut them and put them in place. Now I need to cut the treads. How much overhang should there be? I was thinking 1 1/2", is that too much or too little? Is there a norm or is it personal choice? Just trying to do this nice. If anyone has theirs done this way, could you measure the overhang?

Should I use glue? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
Wow, thanks guys! I did plan on using liquid nails for the treads. I hate sqeaks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I think I'll rip two and see how they look. I'm sure an inch or so would look ok. I was just paranoid about it. I don't know anyone who has bare wood stairs, so didn't have anything to go by. Thanks for the good info. |
