Update your staircase with the warmth and character of real White Oak hardwood without the cost and disruption of a full stair replacement. Our White Oak Square Edge Retrofit Stair Treads install directly over your existing stair treads, creating a clean, updated appearance with a modern square-edge profile.
Crafted from premium American White Oak, each tread is precision milled from solid hardwood for exceptional durability, consistent dimensions, and lasting beauty. Designed for both wall-to-wall (closed) staircases and open-sided stairs, these retrofit treads completely cap your existing stair tread and conceal the original stair surface, making them an ideal solution for stair remodels and home renovations.
Each tread is manufactured in Olathe, Kansas using American-sourced hardwoods and state-of-the-art milling equipment to ensure accurate dimensions, consistent thickness, and dependable quality. Our retrofit stair treads feature a one-piece solid wood nose with no joint on the front face for a clean, seamless look.
Crafted from premium-grade American White Oak, our treads utilize a durable three- to five-piece glue-up design that enhances stability while showcasing the natural character and grain of the wood.
Retrofit stair treads, also known as stair retreads, are designed to fit directly over your existing stair treads, eliminating the need for major demolition. With a 3/4" thick profile and a 2-1/4" nose height, these retrofit stair treads provide complete coverage of your existing stairs while creating a beautiful White Oak hardwood staircase.
Suitable for both closed and open-sided staircases, these hardwood stair treads are designed for a professional finished look while simplifying installation.
Order your White Oak stair treads unfinished and ready for stain, making it easy to match existing hardwood flooring, trim, or stair components. Unfinished treads arrive fully sanded and ready for finishing on all exposed surfaces after installation.
For a ready-to-install option, choose from our professionally applied stain colors and durable clear-coat finish. Our finish options coordinate with the colors used on our floating shelves and fireplace mantels, making it easy to create a cohesive look throughout your home.
