False End Tread Caps, often referred to as tread savers or risers, are decorative elements used in staircases to create the illusion of solid treads. They are typically installed on the ends of stair treads, adjacent to walls or balusters, to conceal the open space beneath the tread. Installation usually involves attaching the caps to the tread using adhesive or screws, ensuring a seamless and finished look. The caps are designed with a front nose moulding that mimics the profile of the actual tread, contributing to the realistic appearance.
These Traditional Style False End Tread Caps have a width of 6-1/2 inches and a depth of 11-1/2 inches, inclusive of the attached nose moulding. They are offered in three distinct configurations to cater to various staircase layouts: left-hand with a mitered return, right-hand with a mitered return, and a version without any return. To complement diverse interior designs, the caps are available in a selection of wood types including Red Oak, White Oak, Hard Maple, Poplar, and Alder. These caps are primarily intended to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a staircase by creating the visual impression of solid treads. They find application on both sides of a stairway, beneath balusters, and even in carpeted areas that extend to the wall. The installation process is designed to be straightforward, and the finished product presents a clean, polished rake, thanks to the integrated nose moulding.
