Match Stained Radius Tread Staircase – Jacksonville Beach

/in /by

Radius stair treads with custom risersClients from a prior wood flooring installation called Dan’s Floor Store back for another home improvement project. This time we were installing new, solid White Oak stair treads on their two staircases, stained to match the wood flooring we had installed previously in their three story home.

Their White Oak wood flooring by D & M Flooring has a skip sawn, bold, rustic look, achieved using a wire brush that skips to create patterns on the face of the wood flooring. This skip sawn pattern can be seen in the background in some of the photos that show the match stained stair treads laid on the floor. Those photos also show that there was quite a variation in the colors/shades of brown of the wood flooring for our crew to match on these stair treads.

To construct the custom White Oak radius treads, our crew had to glue together two stair treads to get the dimensions we needed. Then we cut out a template for the radius end of the tread from a door skin. Using the template as a guide, we cut the radius treads. Our crew finally molded the solid stair treads to size, to fit over the top of the sub treads and custom risers.

It took some time to find the combination of stain colors, applied in patterns to get the stair treads to match the look of the flooring. Our crew applied several different stain colors, creating a montage of Rubio Monocoat colors to achieve the look to match the wood floors. We were very happy with the results we achieved.

Our crew applied several coats of Bona Traffic HD ultra matte to finish these custom stair treads.

We are really proud of these match stained radius treads. Not only was the stain on the stair treads well matched to the wood flooring, but the custom radius treads along with the custom risers that we installed for them look epic!

Our clients were very impressed with how nice their new staircases look, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

New Birch Stair Treads for World Golf Village Home

/in , /by

Because a couple who are prior clients and homeowners in the World Golf Village community loved the engineered wood flooring that we had installed for them, they called us back for a new project.

Stained and finished new birch stair treads in placeThese clients wanted to improve their home by replacing the original stair treads with solid Birch stair treads. In addition, the clients wanted to have the new treads stained to match the wood flooring in their home.

This project involved installing 18 new solid birch stair treads. Some of the treads are very long. The stair treads range in size from the smallest, about 48″ long to the longer ones which are 60″ long to as much as 72″ long.

One of the signs of a well done stair tread installation is how tightly the treads fit to the skirt boards between the wall and the end of each stair tread. Dan’s Floor Store uses a precision jig that we built for making these cuts, to ensure each stair tread fits very tight to the skirt boards of the stairway.

For the bottom stair step, we filled out a frame that attached the subtread, to conform to the curved end of the bottom stair tread for the look that our clients wanted. Using some flexible riser material, we created a flawless look for the riser, including the curved surface of the step.

When Dan’s Floor Store installs and finishes new stair treads, or when we refinish existing stair treads, we pre-finish all of the treads to match the wood flooring prior to installing them. This approach ensures we won’t have any stain blotches / blemishes / over paint on the adjacent painted skirt board, and reduces some of the stain odor in the home. The stair case landings are usually the only portions of a stair case refinishing project that we have to sand, stain and finish in place.

The new birch stair treads turned out really beautiful! We stained them twice with Duraseal stain in Antique Brown. Then we finished the treads with three coats of Bona Mega Clear HD satin.
