All about Maple Stair Treads
Maple stair treads add a kind of style and elegance to any plain old staircase that’s truly remarkable. The unmistakable color and texture of maple lends a whole new dimension to any set of treads made of it.
Building a new staircase is an exciting proposition these days. This is largely because the market is flooded today with stair parts and accessories of all kinds. The homeowner looking to remodel an existing staircase will not find a dearth of great ideas and opportunities to do so in a most remarkable way.
Stair treads are no exception. If you are out in the market hunting for new ideas for a dramatic stair makeover, you will find that there are plenty of exciting options to choose from. While you can opt for marble steps or granite treads, or even concrete steps for your staircase, do consider using wood.
Speaking of wood steps, maple stair treads are an excellent choice. Maple is a very popular variant of wood and is widely used to craft furniture and other household accessories of many different kinds. You can even opt for pre-finished maple stair treads that can be installed right after you bring them home. There’s no need to spend extra on having the treads polished and then having to wait for the polish to dry off before you can install them. With pre-finished wood treads, you can have them installed and ready to be used within hours of purchasing them.
Some of the other concerns while building a safe staircase include watching out for possible problem areas. For example, if one has a 3″ knot in a 2 x 12 stair tread, it can render your staircase weak and unsafe over tome as the wood expands (a natural process) and causes the knot to loosen up. With a thicker stair tread (such as in 3 x 12), this process of expansion is significantly slower and the problem is much less acute. Finally, don’t forget to select only premium grade lumber for your treads. So go ahead, add a touch of maple to your staircase. You will also be adding plenty of class and style to it at the same time.
