Pro Tips

• Apply non-slip finish to stair treads -- especially in socks-only households. A satin or semi-gloss polyurethane provides better traction than high-gloss finishes on hardwood treads.
• Finish stair components before installation where possible for the cleanest result.
• Pre-drill all fastener locations in hardwood stair components to prevent splitting near ends and edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wood species is best for stair treads?
Oak and maple are the most common due to their hardness and durability under foot traffic. Confirm available species at your local Windsor Plywood branch. Match the tread species to your flooring for a coordinated appearance.

Can I mix wood species on my staircase?
Yes. A common approach is darker hardwood for treads and handrails with a lighter or painted wood for spindles and risers. Confirm all components are available in your chosen species at your local branch.
