Our customers often ask us about a solution for covering the holes left by finish nails in stair treads after installation. Here is a quick look at how you can easily fill any nail holes left after your stair tread installation. 

Landing treads are only available with the groove for 3/4" flooring, but having a groove facing the landing tread is fairly common and not a problem. Simply insert a piece of spline between the two grooves to join the two together.

The white powdery appearance on the surface of our treads is a common issue. What you see is a fine dust that gets lodged in the grain of the tread while the tread is in production. This powder is a by-product of the numerous sandings our treads undergo during the staining process. Our factory uses dust collectors which capture most of the sawdust but some dust particles remain in the air.

Replacement stair treads are essential for homeowners looking to improve their stairways' safety, functionality, and appearance. Over time, stair treads can become worn, damaged, or outdated, posing potential hazards and diminishing the aesthetic value of your home. By replacing your old treads with new, high-quality options, you can significantly uplift the durability and style of your stairs.

Regarding home safety, staircases are often overlooked despite being a common source of accidents. Slippery stairs can pose serious risks, especially for children, elderly family members, and pets. Installing non-slip stair treads is an effective solution to minimize these hazards.

When remodeling your stairs-, choosing the right stair treads, landing treads, and risers is essential for functionality and aesthetics. Stair tread remodeling packages offer a convenient solution, providing all the necessary components in a single bundle.
