Square nosing on stair tread

n123
10 years ago

Hi,

I'm looking to have my stair treads square nosed with a 1/8th eased edge to get rid of the sharp corner. Is there any reason not to do this? They are standard thickness (1") treads and it is for our contemporary home with a closed stair riser.

I've heard mixed opinions about this regarding the "wear" on the tread. I'm hoping the 1/8th radius would alleviate most of the wear issues but I'm looking for other advice on why this may or may not be a good idea.

Thanks
