Description
This precision-engineered stair tread template delivers the timeless elegance of a bullnose nosing profile in a generous 60-inch length, specifically designed for 3cm thick stone materials. The bullnose edge creates a smooth, rounded transition at the stair's leading edge, offering both aesthetic appeal and enhanced safety by eliminating sharp corners. This template is ideal for residential and commercial applications where durability meets sophisticated design. Fabricated from granite, marble, quartz, or other natural stone materials, this 60-inch tread provides excellent coverage for standard to wide staircases. The 12-inch depth accommodates comfortable foot placement, while the 1-inch nosing overhang follows industry-standard building codes. Whether you're working on a luxury home renovation, commercial building upgrade, or custom architectural project, this template ensures consistent, professional results every time.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with precise measurement of the stair structure to ensure proper fit and alignment. The substrate must be level, clean, and structurally sound to support the stone's weight. Apply a high-quality thin-set mortar or construction adhesive specifically rated for stone installations. Position the tread carefully, ensuring the nosing overhang is uniform and aligns with building code requirements. Use shims as needed to achieve perfect level orientation. Allow proper curing time per adhesive manufacturer specifications before grouting or applying any weight to the tread.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC machine with conservative feed rates for the bullnose profile to prevent chipping on the curved nosing edge. Use diamond-grit router bits specifically designed for stone edge profiling. The bullnose radius requires multiple finishing passes to achieve a smooth, uniform curve. Start with roughing passes at higher feed rates, then reduce speed for finishing passes. Maintain consistent water flow during cutting to control dust and prevent thermal stress. The 3cm thickness provides excellent stability during machining but requires appropriate tooling depth capacity.
Material Compatibility
This template is optimized for 3cm (approximately 1.181 inches) stone slabs including granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz. Natural stone materials provide superior durability and aesthetic variety for high-traffic stair applications. Engineered quartz offers consistent coloring and enhanced stain resistance. Ensure material selection meets slip-resistance requirements for stair treads, particularly in commercial installations where safety codes are strictly enforced.
Where to Buy
Stone stair treads can be fabricated by local stone fabrication shops, countertop specialists, and architectural stone suppliers. Many fabricators offer custom cutting services using your DXF template. For pre-fabricated options, check with national distributors, specialty building material suppliers, and high-end home improvement retailers that carry architectural stone products.
