Closed (Box) Retro Treads

A box stair tread is a stair tread with a wall on both sides of the staircase and thus has no mitered returns. This is by far, the most common style stair tread and the Retro style means that this stair tread is designed to be installed over an existing stair

Hint: Use the box on the left to narrow your selection by wood species, length, and color

With the Retro Replacement stair tread, you can replace your stairs without removing your existing stair treads!

Prefinished Retro stair treads offer you the ability to install beautiful solid hardwood on each of your steps without the traditional mess and expense associated with site-finished stair treads and now you no longer have to remove the existing stair tread. Simply cut the existing stair tread bullnose square, open the retro tread box, trim each tread to fit and you're ready to install; no messy stain or polyurethane is needed.

We also offer our retro stair tread unfinished - meaning that there is no stain or finish on the stair treads. Use unfinished treads to apply your own stain and polyurethane on site - some degree of sanding and minor prep-work should be expected.

Solid retro stair treads are 3/4" thick with a full 1" bullnose and 11 1/2" deep. The "closed" style means that this tread has no mitered returns. Sometimes this is also referred to as a box tread.

Our solid stair treads are guaranteed to never separate between the wood staves and are available in many different species.
