Upgrade your staircase with the warmth and character of a solid hardwood Signature tread at 2.5" thick — the most popular tread thickness for staircases that want a premium, substantial feel without the bulk of thicker profiles. The 2.5" Signature Stair Tread is crafted from solid hardwood, with all 6 sides sanded smooth and a 1/8" roundover on every edge.
The Signature tread presents the face grain of your chosen species — broader, more expressive, and more characterful than edge-grain butcher block — making it the natural choice for traditional, transitional, and warm-modern staircases.
Select your wood species from the dropdown. Each species brings its own grain figure, tonal range, and aging character. Quartersawn and Riftsawn White Oak options are available for enhanced figure and dimensional stability. All species available unfinished or pre-finished.
Standard widths from 36" to 72", 11-1/4" depth meets stair code. Use our Custom Tread Builder to customize everything down to the 1/4". Matching landing platforms available upon request.
