NuSTAIR^®: Frequently Asked Questions

HOW IS NUSTAIR^® INSTALLED ON ONE SIDE OPEN STAIR CASES?

We offer a 50" tread in all species and all colors that has a mitred return on both ends.The installer simply cuts one end off. To cover the exposed riser cut we offer a plain bracket and or a scroll bracket. Brackets and replacement balusters, newels, and handrail can be found at www.idealstairparts.com and ordered anywhere you order NuSTAIR^®. For a true double open staircase we can custom make the tread to length with both returns, call us.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GET TO A LANDING OR TO THE SECOND FLOOR?

NuSTAIR^® offers a 5 1/4" wide X 3/4" landing tread or stair nosing with the nosing and scotia molding attached. The 3/4" thick landing tread will match up to your new flooring. The landing tread is priced by the foot and can be ordered from your dealer or distributor, unfinished or finished.

DO YOU OFFER A TOOL THAT DOES A SUPERIOR JOB OF MARKING THE TREAD CUTS?

It's called the "NuScribe" and acts like a slide rule can be positioned inside the two stringers. Once inside the stringers you lock down the arms, pull it off and postion it on the tread. Make your marks and your cuts.
