Modern Thick Treads for Any Home
Published by Quality Stair Treads on May 21st 2024
Thick tread staircases have become a coveted feature, adding a touch of contemporary elegance and architectural detail to any space. However, achieving this look often requires significant renovation and a hefty price tag. That's where Hardwood Stairs Direct comes in with our innovative solution: thick Quick Treads.
Our thick Quick Treads are designed to mimic the sleek appearance of thick stair treads without the need for major structural changes. Homeowners can effortlessly elevate the style of their staircase, transforming it into a focal point of modern sophistication. With thick treads measuring up to 4 inches in thickness, these additions create a dramatic and luxurious aesthetic that instantly modernizes any home.
One of the key benefits of our Quick Treads is their versatility. While they may appear substantial from the front, they are skillfully crafted to fit seamlessly over existing staircases that are typically 3/4 inch or 1 inch in thickness. This means homeowners can achieve the look of thick treads without the hassle and expense of tearing out their current staircase.
Thick Quick Treads can be used in updating an outdated staircase or creating a modern design in a new build.
In an existing home, owners are often wanting to remove carpet from their stairs and refresh the space. A thick Quick Tread with a 5/8” deck is usually a good choice as it will not affect the rise and rake of the staircase.
This means it will not change the angle or steepness of the staircase.

This should be carefully considered and measured for, and this is what our thick Quick Treads simplify for you. If you are working on a new build and opt for the thick Quick Treads, you can choose to go up to a 1” or ¾” thick deck. Thick Quick Treads can also be designed with or without returns. A tread featuring a return means the staircase will be open and not enclosed by one or two walls. A tread without returns is referred to as a box tread which will be enclosed by a wall or a solid railing.
We understand that every home is unique, which is why our thick Quick Treads are fully customizable to suit your specific needs and preferences. Customers have the freedom to choose from a wide range of wood species for their thick Quick Treads. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of
oak or the rich warmth of walnut, we offer a variety of standard species kept in stock, as well as the option for special order species to accommodate even the most discerning tastes.
To ensure a seamless integration with your existing flooring, customers can also select a coordinating stain for their thick Quick Treads. Our skilled craftsmen will expertly coordinate the stain to achieve a cohesive look throughout your home, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
Customers also have the option to choose the perfect finish to protect their wood and enhance its natural beauty. Whether you prefer a satin finish for a subtle sheen, a matte finish for a more understated look, or a semi-gloss finish for added durability, we offer a variety of finishes to suit your preferences. With our customizable options, you can create thick Quick Treads that not only elevate the style of your staircase but also reflect your personal taste and style.
