If stair tread is 7 inches and run is 11 inches will there be a 1 inch overhang?
A "tread" and a "run" are the same thing. Your question negates itself. However, if what you meant was an 11" riser and a 7" tread, then what you are describing is a ladder, as it would have an angle greater than 50 degrees. Ideally, you should reverse the dimensions, in which case then, yes, a 1" overhang is appropriate.
What is the maximum height on a stair tread?
The correct response varies per building codes. However, the most common is 7 3/8".
How many inches does the Stair tread depth typically stick out more than the run?
there are no set inches .... stairs are cut to a RATIO of the amount of space you need to climb [ say to the second floor of a house or to the top of a deck ] the steeper you make the stairs the higher this ratio will be. 10 inches of tread - and 8 inches of rise - is a common ballpark figure ... you cannot just decide i want my steps to be ______ height. you much use math and figure out how many steps can be divided equally into the total height. local building codes sometimes set a minimum and maximum height to the individual risers. making steps with one odd sized riser [ say shorter or higher than all the rest of the stairs so that it comes out correctly- and usually on the bottom step ] is a HUGE no-no as well. things too look up on the web are "framing square" and "stair stringer"
What is the difference between stair tread and stair riser?
The tread is what you step on, the riser is the part going up. Rise=riserThe tread is what you step on. The riser is the upright piece your toe hits.
How do you layout a stair?
Minimum tread is 10" and maximum riser is 7.75".

What are all the Stair parts?
Tread, riser, stringer, spindle, newel post, hand rail. fillet, shoe moulding, dowelling, screws, glue.
Standard dimenions of a stair unit?
The current standard for a stairway in a public building is a tread that is no less then 12" deep (this can include a rounded nosing) with a rise of no more the 7". The tread should overhang the place where the previous step joins the riser by 1".This is for new work. If you're making a repair or renovating a residential structure, there may be allowances. Check with the local building inspector.
What is a stair piece?
stringer is the support piece, usually under both sides and one in the middle riser is the front piece tread is the flat piece you walk on
Where do you measure from to determine the height of a stair hand rail?
Measure from the nose and the top of the tread of the plumb up the wall 34' to 36'
How do you calculate the area of staircase?
The surface area of stairs is found by multiplying the length and width of one stair top and of the riser. This should be multiplied by the number of stairs.
How do you determine the square footage of stairs?
Assuming you want the square footage for 12ft wide broadloom carpet; a quick measure of the width of the stair tread (width), typical lineal measurement of both riser and down across stair tread and over and around stair nosing(LF), and total amount of stairs (each). An 8ft ceiling typically has 12 stair treads with 13 risers. Stair tread and riser measure typically 1'6" LF and 1'9" LF allows for tucking and squaring the piece. A typical width is 3'2" wide. Thus you can get 3 widths out of a 12ft wide carpet. Needing 12 stairs x 3'2" wide x 1'9" LF in total. A 12 ft wide carpet running (4 x 1'9" LF) 7'0" . You need 12'0" x 7'0" or 9.33 Sq.yards/84 Sq.feet. If you have "pie shaped" stairs you have to measure the furthest points of both riser and stair tread while measuring the stair tread on a 90 degree angle to the riser so the straightness of the pile direction is consistant from stair to stair regardless of the shape of the stair. Stairs that are opened on the sides( no stringer) must also be measured along furthest points and allow extra tuck space for upholstery of the corners. If the stairs are wider then 4 feet, use a piece of graph paper to draw out the 12 ft width of carpet and "fill-in" the stairs allowing 1"-3" in between cut pieces. Always allow an extra 3" per total cut size to allow for the factory cut to be off-square!
Where can one purchase stair tread?
You can purchase stair tread from interior and you can purchase online or in the store this is perfect for carpeted stairways can be painted or covered
What is the definition for tread?
As a verb, tread means the way someone is walking. As a noun, tread can mean the top of a stair (where you step on), or the tread of a tire.
The stair tread depth is typically- more than the run so that it sticks out nose?
Nosing is not taken into account when calculating initial stair set-out, but added later. The rise of a residential stair in the US is 8" and the run is 10" with a nose of 1". This means that the tread depth is 10", the height from stair to stair is 8" and the tread sticks out 1" over the the tread below. It is still 10" from front to back. A commercial stair is 7" rise, 11" run, 1" nose.
