How is an oak box tread installed? 

Oak box treads are typically fixed to either timber or steel stringers, or to wall-mounted brackets secured to structural studs. Strong screws are then driven from beneath or through the stringer to keep fixings out of sight, resulting in a clean box tread surface.

What are the benefits of using oak box treads?

Oak box treads offer plenty of practical and visual advantages in homes, offices and some other commercial properties, such as:

  • They’re designed to work on open-riser and floating staircases, helping spaces feel larger.
  • The oak looks and feels luxurious, blending well with a range of aesthetics.
  • As the metal fixings are concealed, oak box treads offer a clean appearance, perfect for minimal interiors.
What are the dimensions of the oak box tread?

How does the oak box tread compare to other types of treads?

Oak box treads are designed specifically for floating or open-plan staircases. Whereas standard treads sit above stair risers to make a step, and are much lighter in weight. If you’re looking to replace a damaged tread on a traditional staircase, you’ll require a standard design, not a box tread.
