FAQs

Can I cut the Stair Klad tread to size?

The Stair Klad tread is pre-finished and designed for direct application. Cutting may expose the core material and compromise the finish and stability, and is not recommended unless you have experience with finishing wood veneers and are prepared for potential aesthetic and durability impacts.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a high-strength wood adhesive or a flooring adhesive specifically rated for stair treads and the substrate of your existing stairs. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for application and curing.

How durable is the lacquered finish?

The lacquered finish is designed for durability and resistance to daily foot traffic. However, like any wood finish, it can be scratched by sharp objects or damaged by harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.

Do I need to prepare my existing stairs before installation?

Yes, the existing stair treads must be thoroughly cleaned, completely dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, grease, or old adhesive. Any unevenness should be addressed to ensure a smooth, stable surface for adhesion.

Can I paint or varnish over the existing finish?

No, this product comes with a pre-finished lacquered oak veneer. Attempting to paint or varnish over it is not recommended and will likely not adhere well, potentially damaging the original finish.

What are the exact dimensions of the tread?

The dimensions are 1200mm in length, 235mm in depth, and 40mm in thickness.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure the existing stair surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. Check that the correct type of adhesive for stair treads has been used and that it has been applied and cured according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure sufficient pressure was applied during installation.

Tread does not fit flush

Verify that the existing stair tread is level and not significantly worn or damaged. Minor imperfections on the existing tread may need to be filled or leveled before applying the Stair Klad tread. Ensure the correct tread size has been selected for the staircase.

Lacquered finish appears dull or scratched

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Use a cleaner specifically designed for lacquered wood finishes or a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Minor surface scratches may be difficult to repair due to the pre-finished nature; focus on preventative care.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install with adhesive, suitable for DIY.
  • Provides a quick and significant visual upgrade to existing stairs.
  • Durable lacquered finish offers protection and longevity.
  • Pre-finished, saving time and effort on site.
  • Engineered for stability, reducing warping or cracking.

Cons

  • Limited to the specified oak veneer finish; cannot be repainted or restained.
  • Requires a clean, flat surface on the existing tread for proper adhesion.
  • May not fit extremely unconventional or damaged existing stair profiles without preparation.
  • Adhesive needs to be suitable for stair treads and substrate for a secure bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure existing stair treads are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Any unevenness should be leveled.
  2. Prepare the appropriate adhesive (e.g., a strong wood or flooring adhesive suitable for treads).
  3. Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the Stair Klad tread or the existing stair tread, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Carefully position the Stair Klad tread onto the existing stair, ensuring the bullnose edge aligns correctly.
  5. Press down firmly and evenly across the entire surface to ensure full contact and adhesion. Use weights if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
  6. Allow the adhesive to cure completely according to the manufacturer's guidelines before walking on the treads.

Compatibility:

This tread is designed to be universal and glues onto existing stair treads. It is compatible with most standard straight staircases. Ensure the existing tread depth and width can accommodate the 1200mm length and 235mm depth. Not suitable for spiral staircases or stairs with significant damage or unevenness that cannot be rectified.

Care:

  • Clean spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the lacquered finish.
  • For routine cleaning, a soft brush or vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust and debris.
  • Protect the surface from sharp objects and excessive moisture.
