Total Rise - This is the vertical distance from the top of the bottom floor to the top of the top floor. If you had a 100 inch measurement from the top of the building foundation (lower level), to the top of the second floor sheathing, then the total rise would be 100 inches.

Total Run - This is the horizontal distance from the front of the first stair step, to the back of the last stair step. If you went horizontally from the stair headout, to the first floor and measured the distance to the first step, this would be the total run.

Tread Brackets - These are brackets used to attach stair treads to stair stringers. Most of these tread brackets can be purchased from your local home improvement center or lumber yard.

Tread Overhang - This is the distance each stair tread overhangs from the riser. Most building codes won't let you have a tread overhang longer than 1 - 1/4 inches.

Tread Under Cut - This is the distance the stair tread protrudes into the stair riser. Instead of an overhang at the front of the stair step, the riser will be angled back, at the bottom, providing more room for the stair step or tread.

Tread – Another word for the stair step, often used by building professionals. Stair treads can be made from a variety of materials, including concrete, wood and metal.

Treated Lumber - Is wood that has been pressure-treated with chemicals to reduce the chances of wood decay. Treated lumber is often used at the bottom of wood framed walls and stair stringers, to reduce the chances of wood rot or decay.
