Treads for floating stairs

Treads for floating stairs

Thick treads are what make an open-riser stair read as solid wood floating in air. Ours are milled from full-thickness stock, so the edge you see is the wood you paid for.

Pair them with a FLIGHT stringer or use them on your own steel, and finish on site or order them pre-finished.

Compare Tread Styles

Signature and Butcher Block treads come in the same thicknesses and species. The difference is how the boards are glued up, which changes the look of the edge and face.
