RED OAK · 48" · RETRO TREAD
Red oak retro stair tread, 48 inches long. Retro (retrofit) treads are made to go over an existing staircase, a common way to turn carpeted stairs into hardwood stairs without tearing out the old treads; the old nosing is usually cut back flush with the riser first.

What is a retro stair tread?
A red oak retro stair tread is a retrofit tread: it is installed over the existing stair structure instead of replacing it. Retro treads are a common way to put hardwood on stairs that were carpeted.
How are retro stair treads installed over old stairs?
Retro stair treads go on after the carpet, pad and tack strips are removed. Installers usually cut the old tread nosing flush with the riser, then glue and fasten the retro tread over the old tread.
