2-1/2" Paint Grade Butcher Block Tread

Elevate your staircase with the 2½” Paint Grade Butcher Block Stair Tread—a bold, substantial tread that commands attention from every angle. Solid 5/4 boards are glued face-to-face to achieve the full 2½” thickness, showcasing beautiful face grain on all 6 sanded and finished sides. A 1/8” roundover on every edge adds a refined finishing touch. Paint Grade treads are crafted from a carefully selected blend of hardwood species, engineered specifically for a smooth, paintable surface. The glued-up butcher block construction is sanded to a flawless finish, ready to accept any interior paint color. Paint Grade is the ideal choice when you want a custom painted staircase that integrates seamlessly with trim, millwork, or a bold accent color—without compromising on the structural strength of solid wood. Available in standard widths of 36”, 42”, 48”, 54”, 60”, and 72”—or specify a custom size—with an 11-1/4” depth that meets code. Choose unfinished to apply your own stain or clear coat, or select a pre-finished option for a ready-to-install tread. These treads look exceptional paired with Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairs, cable railing, or glass railing for a seamless modern aesthetic.
