Stair Treads To go up and down safely

The tread is the horizontal surface of the stair that we step on. Also called steps, they are attached horizontally to the stringer and the vertical surface of the stair is called the riser. The part of the tread that overhangs the front of the riser is called the nosing, which can be rounded or square depending on the style of the staircase.

Solid treads manufacturing process

Solid treads are made of hardwood boards joined horizontally, selected from pieces of wood previously sorted in grades according to their colour. The number of boards used varies between three and seven depending on the species and the grade of wood chosen by the customer. The maximum width of the boards is 4 inches, and they are glued together under pressure.

A wide range of wood species

Menuiserox products are manufactured in red oak, maple and yellow birch, all domestic hardwood species found in southwestern Quebec and the northeastern United States. By working within a radius of 600 square kilometres, we limit our carbon footprint.

Other species like white oak, poplar and ash may also be available upon request.

A variety of wood species

Menuiserox is a strong advocate for using domestic species to manufacture its staircase parts. These species can be sourced from local suppliers, which also allows Menuiserox to reduce the carbon footprint of its products.

What’s more, domestic species offer higher quality wood compared to wood from other species available on the North American market, thanks to their colour and their hardness. Hardwood species that grow in cold climates like Quebec offer highly sought‑after colours—during the winter, tree growth slows down, which has a direct impact on the colour of the wood.
