Aeratis Stair Tread Battleship GrayFor stair applications, make sure the bullnose is facing out on the lead edge of the stairs.  This will create a rolled over edge vs a sharp corner in the event of someone tripping while walking up or down the stairs. It is always best practice to tip the stair treads towards the structure. This will accomplish to goals. 1) it will help water shed off the stairs 2) it will stop the visual illusion for people walking on the stairs that the stairs are sloped way making it easy to slip while walking down the stairs.
