White Oak Unfinished Landing Tread 54 in

A:White Oak has become the dominant hardwood flooring choice in new construction since 2018, driven by the popularity of wire-brushed and greige finishes. WoodStairCo unfinished White Oak treads are milled from the same species as premium flooring, making stain matching precise and predictable.

A:Yes. Unfinished hardwood treads accept any oil-based or water-based stain. Sand lightly with 120-grit, apply chosen stain, allow to dry, then apply 2–3 coats of polyurethane. For floor matching: bring a floor sample to a paint store to identify the correct stain. We also offer a Red Oak Stain Colors Sample Pack for testing before committing to full treads.

A:54" treads are used in architecturally significant staircases in larger homes — typically 2,500+ sq ft custom homes with a two-story entry foyer, or staircases designed as a room focal point. 54" wide stairs feel genuinely grand. Common in formal foyer renovations and high-end new construction.

A:Landing treads install the same way as retro treads: clean the landing edge, apply Loctite PL Premium adhesive to the back, press firmly into position, and secure with a brad nailer. Landing treads are typically 5-1/4" wide and cover only the front edge of the landing — not the full landing surface. Installation time: 15–20 minutes per landing tread.

A:A landing tread is installed on the staircase landing — the flat platform between flights or at the top. Unlike a stair tread, a landing tread is typically flush on all sides since it covers only the front edge of the landing. Typically 5-1/4" wide. Available in the same species and stain colors as stair treads for a matched look. Significantly less expensive than full stair treads — $14–$57 per piece.
