Premium Quality Hickory Replacement Wood Stair Tread.
Hickory is known for its strength and is the hardest american wood. Hickory has a pale to reddish brown heartwood, while the sapwood is white. Hickory is coarse textured and normally has straight, fine grain.
Replacement stair treads, also know as retro fit stair treads, are designed to fit over your existing stair case, usually replacing carpet. Our replacement Hickory wood stair treads are 3/4" thick, with a 1" thick bullnose. The bullnose is made by gluing a thin board to the bottom front of the 3/4" thick tread and then rounding the front of the entire 1" section. The bullnose is 1" thick and 1-1/4" deep. The wood tread is constructed by edge gluing boards together side by side. The number of boards is usually three or four, but can range from two to five. These stair treads ship slightly over length. The only exception is double return treads which ship at exact length.
All wood stair treads have a bullnose on the front, unless specifically ordered otherwise. The bullnose is the same thickness as the tread itself.
If you want a bullnose on the side of the stair tread, order a return. A return is a separate piece with a bullnose attached to the side of the tread. Returns should be ordered from the perspective of walking up the stairs.
The ordered dimensions always reflect the overall dimensions, including the bullnose and any returns.
Note: A return does not affect the overall length of the tread. Our returns are 1-1/4" wide. If you are measuring throat size, add 1-1/4" for each side that has a return.
The treads listed below are 3/4" thick with a 1" bullnose.
