2-1/2" Thick Riftsawn White Oak Stair Tread - Signature

Upgrade your staircase with the precision and architectural clarity of riftsawn hardwood. The 2.5" Riftsawn White Oak 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 Riftsawn White Oak 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 Riftsawn White Oak?

Riftsawn White Oak is the most refined and architecturally disciplined cut in the hardwood spectrum. Its exceptionally linear, parallel grain lines — produced by milling at a precise angle to the growth rings — create a surface of near-perfect visual consistency, free from the figure variation of flatsawn lumber and the ray fleck of quartersawn. With the riftsawn process, this White Oak tread is the most dimensionally stable cut available — minimizing both seasonal movement and figure variation for a result that is technically superior and visually disciplined. With a Janka hardness of 1,360 and White Oak's inherent moisture resistance, it is built for lasting performance in demanding applications. Riftsawn White Oak is the choice of designers who want a staircase that integrates seamlessly into the architecture — minimal, precise, and impeccably resolved.
