Solid Left Hand Return Tread - Contemporary Nose C
A cap tread with a miter left-hand return is designed specifically for staircases where the left end of the tread is exposed and needs a finished look. Here’s a detailed description.
Similar to other cap treads, this one is designed to fit over an existing tread or to serve as the finished tread itself. It typically includes a nosing, which is the rounded edge that extends slightly beyond the riser, adding to the aesthetic and functional appeal.
Miter Left-Hand Return: The left-hand miter return refers to an angled cut (usually at 45 degrees) on the left side of the tread where it meets the front nosing. A matching mitered piece is joined to this cut to create a smooth, seamless corner. This provides a finished appearance, hiding the end grain of the wood and giving a polished look.
Purpose: The miter left-hand return is used when the left end of the tread is visible, such as on open staircases or where there’s a visible side profile. This treatment enhances the visual appeal and provides a continuous, elegant finish.
Installation: Precision is crucial during installation to ensure the mitered edges align perfectly. The mitered piece is typically glued and nailed into place for a secure fit. Ensuring a seamless joint is key to achieving the desired aesthetic.
Available:
36” x 10” x 3/4”
42” x 10” x 3/4”
48” x 10” x 3/4”
