Hardwood Stairs: Treads for Refacing or New Installation
(reface your construction steps
with hardwood stairs)
Hardwood stairs are made from solid laminated
wood..... NOT veneered particle board, or low grade lumber
wrapped with a nice veneer to look pretty. Our hardwood
stair treads are fabricated from solid 1" thick premium
grade timber, sized and shaped to your dimensions.
Exotic or Not Hardwood Planks? Stairs are
from wood, colour sorted (or NOT) dependent on your decorating
preferences, and in woods from zebrawood to brazilian cherry
-- Our wooden stair treads are made in a wood species and/or
a rustic flavour to compliment your existing decorating,
..you choose and we'll make it!
Here are some of your options...

| Standard Hardwood
Stair Treads: |
 |
- 1" thick wood stair treads: 10 1/4" or 11 1/4"
wide
- standard wooden stair treads are rounded on the front edge,
with square ends, designed to butt up against a wall or solid
stringer
- top face is nicely sanded
- can be rough on the back face of the wood step where it
doesn't show.
|
| Finished Ends: Standard Bullnose
End (Right End Shown) |
 |
Our typical wood stair treads are cut square on both ends.
For open sided stairway treads we round over the end grain
to create a finished side. Staircase treads designed in this
way are NOT between walls, but typically are open with a railing
on one or both sides.
- order finished ends, by looking up the steps & defining
as Right (R) or Left (L) end bullnose required
