European oak treads for bespoke stairs
European oak is our most-requested tread species: resilient, predictable grain, suited to concealed metal fixings after kiln conditioning to 8–11% moisture.
Why oak for stairs
High resistance to indentation and favourable stiffness-to-thickness ratio. LED grooves, drip noses, hidden plate pockets available.
Lead times
Send dimensions within 48 h for budgeting; CNC programs start once a signed coté sketch is validated. Typical fabrication 3–5 weeks workshop load dependent.
