Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of these stair treads typically involves adhering them securely to the existing stair structure. It is recommended to use a strong wood adhesive or appropriate screws, ensuring a flush and stable fit. For optimal results and safety, professional installation is advised, especially if you are not experienced with woodworking or home renovation.
Compatibility:
These treads are compatible with most standard staircase constructions. They are designed to be placed over existing stair steps. The delivery specifically states that the stair frame and riser are *not* included, meaning these are add-on treads. Ensure your existing stair structure is sound and level before installation. Due to the natural variations in wood, consider laying out all treads before installation to achieve the desired visual flow.
Care:
Maintaining the appearance of your oak stair treads is simple. The smooth, light-varnished surface can be easily cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the wood finish. For spills, wipe them up immediately. Regular dusting will help keep them looking their best.
