Step 1 · Clearly Identify Your Winder Stair Treads

Start your DIY journey by carefully observing your staircase. You'll want to distinguish the winder steps from the standard straight treads. Winder steps are easily recognized by their angled, wedge, or 'pie' shape – they'll be noticeably narrower on the inside of the turn and wider on the outside. Standard rectangular treads will be measured using our conventional method. It's crucial to flag only these uniquely shaped winder steps for individual, precise measurement. Keep in mind that no two winder steps are necessarily identical, so a bespoke approach is key to achieving that custom-made to fit look.
