What Is the Best Wood for Stair Treads?
The stair treads are the most visible parts of your indoor staircase. Just think about how often you look down to make sure you keep safe footing. With that in mind, you’ll want to pick a material for your wooden stair treads that matches your home’s style, lasts longer without wear, and feels sturdy under your feet.
Oak Treads Match Any Home Style
When looking for replacement stair treads, some form of oak is commonly at the top of any homeowner’s list. Given that there are so many types of oak, it’s easy to find a shade and grain that looks great in a classic, rustic, or contemporary home.
Hickory Wins the Durability Test
When looking for durability in hardwood stair treads, you won’t find anything better than hickory. It stands strong against harsh environmental forces, and in your home, that translates to lasting longer against heavy foot traffic. Additionally, hickory is commonly known for its brown and tan stripes, helping it add character to any staircase.
Maple Delivers a Bright Aura
When you base your custom stair treads on maple, you’ll benefit from the brighter tan and white tone of the wood. Staircases that don’t receive sufficient natural lighting will appear broader with the lighter tone of this wood. And on top of that, maple is sturdy in its own right, capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic for decades.
