Refers to treads where one or both sides of the staircase are exposed. In these cases, the exposed side(s) of each tread must be finished with a return. For example, a staircase positioned against a wall will typically require a return on one side, while a staircase situated in the middle of a room will require returns on both sides.

Floating treads are used in staircases with open risers (i.e., no vertical riser between steps). Depending on the design, 4 to 6 sides of each tread are typically finished. These treads are more complex and require precise measurements, as they are often installed within metal stringers or mounted to steel plates for support.

U-shaped treads are versatile and can be used in both open-riser staircases and renovation projects. They can be used for capping existing stairs, as they wrap over the old tread and nosing, creating a clean, updated look.
