ABOUT STAIR TREADS

Stair treads are the horizontal element of a staircase. They may form the structure of the step, for example when they are formed from steel for fiberglass for an external staircase, or when they are made of wood for an internal staircase. Alternatively a stair tread may be applied to the step, to provide a decorative finish or anti-slip surface. A common material for an applied stair tread is rubber.

The leading stair tread manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of stair treads, including online catalogs, colours and materials for stair treads, and care and maintenance of stair treads.
