Our Feature Product... Full False Stair Treads:
This unique product ( the full false stair tread ) allows the DIY'er to accomplish that look he/she longs for without doing a total staircase tear out. This is a great solution for those beat up basement stairs or for any stairs that you wish to re-tread, without doing a full tear out. A full false stair tread is designed to go over an existing tread ( actually it's a 'Solid Cap Tread' ) thus this product is the perfect solution for renovation jobs. The body of our replacement treads is a full 3/4 inches thick ( not the thin 1/2 inch false treads that are being sold on the market ) while the nose is a full 1-1/16 inch thick. The full 3/4 inch body of our replacement tread makes for a more solid and life long lasting stair tread, which will with stand the stress of everyday use.

Installing Full False Treads:
Each stair tread will have to be trimmed to fit the stair tread it is capping... so all the full false treads may end up to be a bit different in size when installed ( like fitting a counter top to a wall, no two walls in your house are 100% true and neither is your staircase ). We recommend PL Premium Glue, this is the best wood construction glue on the market for securing stair treads. PL Premium Glue comes in a caulking tube, so it is easy to dispense ( PL Premium can be found at any hardware store, it is in a black and gold caulking tube ). Typically most do it yourselfers will put down an ample amount of PL Premium Glue on each stringer and then 3 ea. 2 inch face nails in the back of the tread, towards the riser. Then simply apply pressure to the tread face and continue on!

Full False Tread Prices:
Full false treads are typically 15% more than standard treads, as these treads take a bit more millwork to produce. A 36 inch oak full false tread is priced at approx. $35 each. Thus, you can re-tread 10 steps with oak stair treads for only $350. Do you need new risers also? We can supply those as well. Add 11 matching risers for only $75.00... there you go for only $425.00 you are into a new solid hardwood staircase at a great value!

Beware Of Full False Tread Fakes:
Like with any high volume product in any market place, you must beware of fakes! Please note that some companies sell flat stock lumber with a bull nose glued on the front edge. Even worse the 'Big Box Stores' like: Kent Building Supplies©, Home Depot© and Rona©' are selling a veneer false stair tread with a press wood or a styrofoam core ( this is not a real full tread cap... and only offers the consumer a cheap, short lasting solution ). Our full false treads are standard 1-1/16 inch stair treads that have the flat spot area ( the checked out area of the tread behind the full bull nose ) plowed out by a table saw dado blade, to your fitting size specs.
