3" Poplar - Stain Grade Signature Tread

Make a confident architectural statement with the 3” Poplar - Stain Grade Signature Stair Tread. At a full 3” thick, the Signature tread’s engineered core is clad in a hardwood wear layer on all 6 sides—so you see beautiful face grain from every angle, never edge grain. A 1/8” roundover on every edge gives a refined, intentional look. This Stain Grade Poplar is hand-selected for color consistency and a smooth surface that accepts stain with minimal blotching. Its light, even tone provides a clean canvas for a wide range of stain colors, making it a budget-friendly alternative when a stained finish is desired. With a uniform grain and reliable workability, Stain Grade Poplar delivers a polished look at an accessible price point. 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 or pre-finished to your specifications. The 3” thickness is a popular choice for Viewrail FLIGHT floating stair systems, complemented beautifully by cable or glass railing.
