Choose oak for timelessness elegance

There’s a reason oak staircases have remained desirable for centuries - oak treads offer a beautiful and natural appearance that’s enduring and never loses its appeal. 

It’s not just its rare beauty, but oak looks the part among most decors. This means you’ll never have to switch your oak treads out as you change your home decor, as they’re neutral and rarely look out of place. 

So, if you want staircase parts that will serve you well for many many years, choose oak stair treads!

Long-lasting oak treads

If you want longevity and aesthetics, oak treads are the way to go! 

Your steps need to be resilient to impacts, scratches, scuffs and stains in order to withstand high foot traffic, spills and heavy footsteps. Oak is a very dense timber with a close grain structure, making it very strong, hardwearing and resilient to warping.

This timber also boasts a naturally high tannin content, which helps prevent rot and ensures your new oak treads last longer.

Our oak stair risers

Every staircase needs risers to match its treads. Our oak stair risers are crafted from the same solid oak as our treads, so your steps look seamless from top to bottom and resist impacts, scuffs and scratches for years.

Choose unfinished for a natural look or lacquered for added protection, with each oak riser available in two sizes: 1000L or 1500L.

Can I fit replacement stair treads over my existing stairs?

Yes - our replacement stair treads are designed to sit over the existing steps, allowing you to replace worn treads without ripping the whole staircase out. All you need to do is remove the old tread and replace it with one of our oak stair treads. This is one of the easiest ways to refresh and upgrade your stairs.
What's the difference between a bullnose and a standard stair tread?

Standard oak treads have a standard square-cut edge on all sides, perfect for staircases enclosed within walls or where stringers cover the edges. Bullnose treads feature a rounded edge on one or both ends to give a smooth and finished look where tread edges are exposed - they’re often installed at the bottom of stairs as this is the most visible part of your staircase.
How do GRP stair treads compare to oak treads?

Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) treads are tough, slip-resistant components commonly found in commercial and industrial settings but not usually in the home. Oak treads are a much better fit for home interiors, as they’re just as hardwearing and long-lasting but far more attractive to look at.
Are our oak stair treads solid oak or veneered?

Our oak stair treads are made from solid engineered oak, which means they consist of a thick real oak layer on top of a sturdy engineered core for added stability. This is different to veneered oak, which usually means a thin layer of oak on a cheaper, weaker core like MDF.
Why are hardwood stair treads best for staircases?

Hardwood stair treads, such as oak, are one of the best materials for use in high foot traffic areas, such as your stairs, as they:

  • Resist dents and scratches
  • Are long-lasting
  • Age beautifully
  • Can be sanded and refined down the line if they start to show signs of wear
  • Offer better long-term value
What are stair risers and treads?

Wooden stair treads and risers are the two main stair parts that make up each step. The stair riser is the vertical component beneath, and the tread is the vertical platform that you stand on. These parts can replace existing staircase risers and treads, or be used for a new flight installation.

Does a stair riser need to be glued or nailed?

For ultimate stability and durability, we recommend using both nails and a suitable adhesive to secure your oak riser firmly in place. This way, you can ensure that your risers and treads won't loosen and cause accidents on your staircase.
How many stair risers do I need?

This depends on the total rise of your flight and the riser height. Generally, you can use the following calculation to work out how many risers you'll need:

Number of Risers = Total Rise ÷ Riser Height

In the UK, the typical riser height is around 7 to 8 inches (about 175–200 mm).

Everything from the ordering process through to delivery has been seamless. I put in a request for my stair parts to be dispatched before the time stated on the website and I was contacted straight away to confirm this would be possible. Received my order a few days later - everything extremely well packaged and of a great quality. It has now all been installed and my customer is extremely happy.

Oak handrail ordered, due to disability, and estimated delivery was 5-7 days. In fact, I was pleasantly caught out when it arrived, well packaged, after only about three days.

The handrail was as described on website, and obviously of very good quality.

I would have no hesitation in ordering from Stair Crazy again, if required.
