What is a "tread"?
A tread is the horizontal part of a step in a staircase where a person places their foot when ascending or descending. It is the flat surface that provides stability and comfort while navigating the stairs. Treads can vary in width and depth, depending on the design of the staircase, and can be made from various materials, such as wood, metal, or stone. The design of treads is important for safety, as they should be wide enough to accommodate footsteps comfortably while also allowing for easy movement between steps. Additionally, treads may feature non-slip surfaces to enhance safety further.
