Mitered Return Wood Stair Treads

Mitered return stair treads are specifically designed for staircases that are open on one or both sides. Unlike a standard tread that terminates into a wall, a mitered return tread features a finished, decorative edge on its open end. This is achieved by attaching a separate piece of nosing along the side of the tread with a miter joint, which conceals the end grain and creates a continuous, furniture-quality profile. This construction method provides a clean and professional look for any balustrade system where the side of the staircase is visible. Each tread is constructed from solid wood and is delivered unfinished, ready for on-site staining and sealing.

Choosing the correct configuration is essential when ordering. A Left Hand Return tread is for a staircase that is open on the left side when ascending. A Right Hand Return tread is for a staircase open on the right side. We offer these solid wood treads in a range of standard sizes, lengths, and wood species to fit your project’s specific requirements. By stocking both left and right hand configurations, we provide a reliable source for these critical components, ensuring you can get the parts you need at a competitive price, with fast shipping to keep your project on schedule.
