2-1/2" Thick Hard Maple Stair Tread - Signature

Upgrade your staircase with the clean luminosity and exceptional hardness of real hardwood. The 2.5" Hard Maple Stair Tread brings natural character and lasting strength to any staircase — whether you're building new or refreshing an existing set of stairs.

At a refined 2.5" thick, the tread's solid engineered core is clad in a Hard Maple hardwood wear layer on all 6 sides, delivering stunning face grain from every angle — never edge grain. A 1/8" roundover on every edge completes the refined, finished look. The 2.5" profile strikes a precise balance between visual weight and restraint — substantial enough to anchor the design, understated enough to let the wood's natural character lead.

Why Hard Maple?

Hard Maple is the hardest and brightest of the widely available domestic hardwood species. Its creamy white to pale light-tan tones and an exceptionally fine, uniform grain complement Scandinavian-influenced, contemporary, and light-filled interiors with a sense of precision and openness. With a Janka hardness of 1,450, Hard Maple is one of the most wear-resistant domestic hardwoods available — resisting scratching, denting, and the cumulative demands of daily use with exceptional consistency. It accepts light stains and clear finishes beautifully, preserving its bright, luminous character while offering flexibility in finish direction. Hard Maple rewards those who want a light, airy staircase without compromising on durability. Its pale, consistent grain brings a sense of clarity and openness that few species can match.
