Prefinished stair treads makes it easy and safe to install hardwood flooring on stairs.

Can I get these in the UK ?

Thanks, Chris.

@Chrisser1976 - unfortunately shipping to the UK would run about 2-3 times the cost of the product (or more!)

I didn't understand the remedy to the landing tread. My existing landing tread is level with my wood floor when I install the new landing tread over the old it will be about 3/4" higher than my floor. How do I make this work? Thanks

@thistrainsloud - if you have an existing landing tread, you wouldn't need to install a new landing tread, just use your existing nose from the flooring installation. The new landing tread would only be needed if there's carpet upstairs of the hardwood flooring is a new install.

how many laminate stairs jobs did you have?

[stairtreads]

@TheFloorfitter - we don't actually offer any installation services, we manufacture the products for contractors and homeowners to install themselves. This video came from a "ride along" with a local contractor and homeowner who agreed to let us film the install.

ive never seen it done that way. we usually tear down to framing and use 3/4 plywood risers. we install all the risers first then when we install our 1" thick treads by gluing the bottom of the next riser ( where the back edge of the tread hits ) and top of the first, as well as the stringers.. then we can use an angle drill to screw through the riser into the tread. its super strong. but for a quick reno that is a pretty cool process. fyi, last cut on a tread should be a pull cut, not a push.

@maranatha0811 - We only know of the Step Dr (runs about $90) and another brand, Woodwise (runs about $130). We've also heard of people making their own from 1x's and a little patience

@MrChewbacca1978 - We sell the Step Dr. online or a Google search will also turn up some other vendors as well. I think there are a few vendors on eBay selling the Step Dr as well.
