Retro stair treads and risers are solid stair treads and risers with a slightly different shape and thickness specifically made to replace a carpeted stair with a new hardwood step of a particular specie or color. Retro replacement stair treads and risers are designed to be installed over the existing stairs in a stairwell. Because the installation is much easier than our traditional 1" treads, the retro stair treads and risers are the perfect products for do-it-yourself'ers...
Retro style stair treads and risers are designed to be installed over existing stairs and this style of tread and riser can be installed over an existing stair without removing the old step treads or stair risers.
The difference between our retro treads and our traditional 1" stair treads is the method of installation. Our retro treads are not intended to be a a stand-alone installation and need to be installed over an existing stair tread while our traditional 1" stair treads are designed to be used in new installations or in applications where the existing step tread will be removed and replaced with the new step tread.
