Details

Red Oak Unfinished Retro Stair Tread Closed 11.5 in wide x 36 in long - Use unfinished Red Oak retro treads to apply your own stain and polyurethane on site after some minor prep-work.

Unlike 1" thick traditional treads retro treads are 3/4quot; thick and are designed to reface a stair rather than replace the entire stair. Using retro treads and retro risers will allow you to simply install over the top of your existing staircase. 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 offering a lifetime of usage.

In order to install retro treads on your stair case simply cut away the existing bullnose from each stair leaving a flush surface to work with. Our retro treads have a 1" bullnose along the front edge which is meant to hang over the existing step. Retro risers are designed to fit under the retro tread's bullnose to ensure a polished and finished look. For more information on the installation process check out our installation video for a step by step guide to installing retro treads and retro risers.

I did not see any video or instructions for installing the closed or mitered retro stair treads. My staircase is carpeted. I would like to use the retro treads. however, the 1st 4 stairs are open and have railings on either side. I am not sure how to attach the balusters to the new treads. the closed treads look very straightforward.

do you make stair treads 96" long x 12" deep and how much would they cost, i need 20 pcs. to re build steps on a stage, also what is the lead time and ship cost.
46
If I have stair treads that are 9" deep and put an overlaying stair tread on top of them, my concern is that a wider step will be unsupported on the end. Is there a good rule of thumb as to how much overhanging,unsupported step I can use before I take the risk of breakage?

I want to use retrofitted stair treads over existing pine stairs that are currently covered in carpet, however I am worried about the rise of the initial step. Currently from the floor to the first step it is a rise of 7 7/8 of an inch, and from what I can tell an 1/8th over code. If I add a retrofitted step which will add another 5/8 of an inch this will bring me to 8 1/2 inches from the floor. Is this variance allowed? I know the other step will fall into place, I am just worried about that first step.

We covered stairs going to the basement with carpet - 6 to a landing, then 6 more. They are just rough built stairs. They have a 7" riser, are 31" long and 11" deep - I would prefer unfinished red oak. What product would you recommend to cover these with? Celeste

Is there a formula for how deep a landing at the bottom of a staircase should be? Our stair treads are 12 1/2'' deep. There is a wall on one side of the staircase. The other side is open. We plan to make a 48" open doorway on the wall of the staircase at the bottom of the stairs. I am not sure how much room to leave between the end of the stairs and the beginning of the 48" opening on the staircase wall. Thank you.

My stairs are 36" wide. I'm worried there might be a small gap if the tread isn't exactly 36" wide or the stairs are aren't 36" wide. Should I buy a wider tread and cut them down?
