Block Treads
Block treads are thick, solid hardwood stair treads with a chunky, substantial profile that adds visual weight and a modern edge to floating staircase designs. Their clean, squared ends and uniform dimensions make them a popular choice for contemporary and industrial-style interiors.
Timber Treads
Timber treads are wide, heavy-duty hardwood stair treads milled from larger stock for a more rustic, natural look with pronounced grain character. Their bold proportions make them well-suited for farmhouse, craftsman, and open-concept architectural styles.
