Comments about 48" Red Oak Tread:
The treads are sanded on three sides but only one side is usable as a top. This is normal but something to be aware of.
Service and delivery comments:
Nowhere did Lumber liquidators reveal that there is a 6-8 week delivery time for anything not carried in their stores. The store managers were able to deliver part of my order so my project wasn't stopped. The managers are the only reason I would consider returning to Lumber Liquidators.

Comments about 48" Red Oak Tread:
I stained the oak treads and then put 4 coats of satin floor poly that contained aluminum oxide for durability. The treads look great. I installed over an existing framed staircase that was carpeted. I used multicolor slate risers. There are no creaks when going up the stairs. These are solid stairs no thin veneers like found at local home improvement stores. I had to train my two big dogs to slow down going up and down the stairs since they used to run up and down the carpeted stairs.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 48" Red Oak Tread:
The Bellawood was worth the price. Hardly any scraps left over and every piece fit well. I never did hardwood floors or stairs before but it came out super and was pretty simple to do. Must have a table saw to do it right.

Comments about 48" Red Oak Tread:
Minimal defects in wood. Easy to install but extremely time consuming. Rooms look double their size but sound echoes. The floors are easier to keep clean and the shine gleams.

Q:
Are these treads used for the construction of new stairs or as a topping for existing stairs? I notice that they are only 1" thick. Thanks Bob1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Either or. Both.Q:
Our stair butt up against a skirt board on one side and open with rails on the other. That said are these treads rounded on the front and sides? How do you go about creating a finished rounded edge on the open side?1 answer
A:
This specific tread does not actually have a return, meaning that once installed it is not made to have an exposed side, we do have treads that have the returns on them if you need to have that specific characteristic for your stepsQ:
What is the recommended method of anchoring these?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Type "stair" here - www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101 and see "Typical Hardwood stair instructions (pdf)"Q:
For optimum finishing of this product do I need to use a filler on the entire surface of the tread before sanding ? What grit do you recommend for the final sanding?1 answer
A:
Depending on the desired finished look you are trying to achieve; you could use a filler for this open grained species. A 100 or 120 grit is sufficient for final sand.Q:
I have an open staircase. my steps are attached to the stringer with metal bars on each side. Can i take these off and replace them with a red oak tread or do I have to wrap the treads areound my existing steps?1 answer
A:
I would be glad to help you with this question.Q:
I have two sets of carpeted stairs I would like to do in red oak steps, and perhaps white painted risers. 1. What is code for stair steps in terms of depth and height? 2. I am guessing I put the new tread right where the old carpeted-over wood is or do I need to replace the supporting part under the tread? In general, what would the answer be, as I know it can vary by unknown issues. 3. For the landing area in the middle of the stairs, do you have any general advice for putting down matching red oak?1 answer
A:
The thickness of these treads put over your existing stairs may cause a trip hazard because you are adding a full inch which may cause stumbles. Different counties have codes regarding changes in the rise of steps in relation to each other and with the landings at the bottom and top of a stair case. Most likely this application will be outside of code. These treads are designed to replace not go over existing steps.Q:
can I get this tread wider than 11 1/4 ". I need 13" wide.1 answer
A:
Yes. Please call our Sales Dept. (800) 476-0007 for pricing and availability.Q:
can i get this in 10 foot1 answer
A:
Please call our Sales Dept. (800) 476-0007 for pricing and availability.Q:
We tore up carpet on our steps and the wood underneath is particle board & standard 2 by 10 lumber. Can we place these treads directly on top of the existing step or should we take it off first?1 answer
A:
The partical board needs to be replaced, it is not sturdy enough and will not hold a nail.
