What is the best material for stair treads?

Solid wood is the best material for stair treads thanks to its strength, aesthetics, and durability. This natural material offers excellent traction and optimal walking comfort.

The recommended species for treads are:

  • Oak: exceptional robustness and wear resistance
  • Beech: high hardness and fine, uniform grain
  • Ash: flexibility and impact resistance
  • Exotic hardwoods: higher density for intensive use

The final price varies depending on the choice of species, thickness, and required dimensions. Custom-made wooden stair treads ensure a perfect fit and a professional finish.

Applying an appropriate finish (oil, varnish, or wax) protects the wood and makes daily maintenance easier.
