Stair treads are used to replace carpet on stairs if stair treadsyou want a natural wood finish instead. You will probably find that the stair treads under your carpet are not very attractive and if you want to expose them then you will most likely need to invest in new stair treads to place over the existing ones. Stair treads are becoming more and more popular with people wanting to create more minimal and clean looks for their homes. The great advantage of stair treads is that they are easier to keep clean than carpet, won’t wear like stair carpet does and won’t date like carpet can. You can make your stairs look stunning with new stair treads especially if you choose a wood that matches your flooring, doors and skirting boards.

There are different kinds of stair treads depending on the type of staircase you have. Some will just cover the actual steps and other stair treads will cover the whole stairs. Stair treads can be made from different types of wood with oak and pine being some of the most popular choices. Oak stair treads are more expensive than pine but oak is much more durable and will not mark or scuff easily. Some people may want to paint their stair treads and others will just want to oil or varnish them for a natural finish.

When people invest in new stair treads they will often change their flooring at the same time to match. Engineered oak flooring is a wonderful flooring option and will perfectly complement oak stair treads. The cost of engineered oak flooring will be less than solid oak flooring as engineered oak flooring has a solid oak top layer with a cheaper wood base underneath. This means you get the look, feel and quality of oak but for a much better price. Engineered oak flooring will look just like solid oak flooring once it is installed and people will not know the difference.
