FAQs
What are the dimensions of each stair tread?
Each stair tread measures 70 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 2 cm in thickness (L x W x T).
Can I use these treads outdoors?
These treads are designed for indoor use. Oak has natural resistance, but prolonged outdoor exposure without proper sealing and maintenance may lead to damage.
Is the dark brown finish a stain or natural color?
The product description indicates a fine sanding with a dark brown finish, suggesting it is a stain or coating applied to the solid oak wood.
How do I clean the treads?
Clean the stair treads with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Are the stair frame and riser included?
No, the delivery contains only the sixteen stair treads. The stair frame and riser are not included.
Will my treads look exactly like the picture?
Each item is unique with variations in colors and grains due to the natural properties of solid oak wood. The delivery is random, ensuring individuality.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
It is recommended to use a strong wood adhesive suitable for flooring or stair applications. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Treads do not adhere properly
Ensure the subfloor and the back of the treads are clean, dry, and free from dust or old adhesive. Use a high-quality wood adhesive and follow its application and drying instructions carefully. Ensure adequate weight is applied during the curing process.
Uneven color or grain compared to expectation
This is an inherent characteristic of natural wood. Each tread is unique. Embrace the natural variations as they contribute to the product's individuality. If significant disparity exists between multiple pieces, contact customer support.
Surface scratches easily
Solid oak can be susceptible to scratches. Use a felt pad on furniture placed on the treads or window sills. For minor scratches, a wood-specific repair kit might be suitable. Avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface.
Warping or cracking observed
Ensure the treads are installed in a stable environment with consistent humidity and temperature. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or moisture. If warping is minor, it might settle over time; for significant issues, consult installation guidelines.
