Measuring for new stair treads can be a daunting task, especially if you are replacing pre-cast concrete ones. However, it doesn’t have to be confusing or overwhelming. With a few simple steps, your staircase will soon look refreshed and modernized. First, measure the width of the stairs from side to side. Then measure the depth of each step from front to back. It is important to note that each stair tread should overlap with the one below about two inches in order for them to fit snugly against one another. Next take measurements of any angles on the stairs; this makes sure that your new stair treads will fit comfortably and securely against the stairs without any gaps or cracks between them and the cement risers (the wall behind).

Measuring for new stair treads can be a stressful project, but it doesn't have to be. With a few simple steps, you can get the perfect measurements for your pre-cast concrete stair treads. First, measure the width of the stairs from one side to the other at their widest point. Next, measure from the front edge of each stair step to the back edge at its narrowest point. Lastly, measure from one side of each riser to the other at its highest point. Make sure you record all these measurements so that when you are ordering your new concrete stair treads they will fit perfectly in place without any adjustments needed after installation.

With these easy steps completed and recorded correctly, you'll have all the information you need when it comes time to order your pre-cast concrete stair treads and cement them into place.

Measuring for my new stair treads has been one of the most rewarding tasks I have ever undertaken. Realizing a dream of mine, I am building a gorgeous set of stairs in my home using pre-cast concrete. Each step will result in the beautiful staircase that I have dreamed about building since I was a child.

To measure for each tread, the process is fairly straightforward. First, I make sure to check that the area is level and even before proceeding with any measurements. Then with my trusty tape measure, I determine how long each run goes and mark where each tread should land on both sides of the staircase. Finally, after double-checking all measurements, it’s time to order my pre-cast concrete stair treads!
