Questions and Answers for EVERMARK Stair Parts 48 in. x 11-1/2 in. x 1 in. Unfinished Red Oak Plain Cut No Return Engineered Stair Tread

A:  Hi Pamela, great question you're asking. A standard rule of thumb is to have stringers spaced no wider than 18 in. apart. So typically, if left at its 48 in. width, two center stringers in addition to the two side stringers would be needed to adequately support these treads. If you have additional questions, we will reply as quickly as we can. Thank you.

A:  36 and 48, if you want 40 , cut the 48' s down

A:  Hi Margarita, thank you for this question. These treads are not available in 40-inch lengths. However, if your local store has the right equipment, a millwork department associate should be able to cut 48-inch treads down to the length you need. If you have additional questions, we will reply as quickly as we can. Thank you!

A:  Wrong, the 48" are $37.96

A:  I used varathane semi gloss, worked really well

A:  I stained mine with minwax to match my stairs 

A:  Hi TimJo, we recommend that you visit the paint department in your local home depot. They will give you direction on brand they recommend.

A:  We used these on the small deck and stairs to use at our back door. 

A:  Hi ColoReno, thanks for the question. The top and bottom layers of these treads are solid red oak, not a paper-thin veneer applied to a composite substrate. The top and bottom layers, since they're solid red oak, can be sanded and finished like real wood because they are real wood. They can be repaired like real wood because they are real wood. The core in the middle of the treads are made of oak and hardwood glued together to form a rigid center that resists warping, twisting, and checking. The word "solid" applies to the top and bottom layers since they are truly solid red oak. I hope that answers your question. If you have additional questions, we will reply as quickly as we can. Thank you.

A:  The core is definitely NOT solid oak. If it is, it would NOT have 1/8 top and bottom.And please don?t give your definition of solid but tell it what it is.

A:  It’s not ply, particle board or MDF so I guess they can claim that. It’s basically layered. It’s a good product though. We had it stained to our liking. 

A:  Hi Robert! This is an innovation that we are adding to our website for 2022! Unfortunately, we don't have them ready now, but you can refer to the installation guide listed on the product page.

A:  No installation videos available. I'm sure if you look online under "threshold installation", you'll run across something useful, or a link until you get there. Good luck!

A:  Hi Rob, thanks for the question. Since many stair projects are unique, there are a few more questions we'd need to ask before giving an answer. Our customer care team is standing by and happy to help you with your questions! Please call 1-678-455-5188 M-F from 9am-5pm. Thanks!

A:  The answer here doesn't make sense. If you install one of these on top of existing treads all the way up the staircase, the riser distance will be the same.

A:  Hi RRS4727, we do not recommend installing these treads on top of existing treads. If you do choose to do this, it may require some additional woodworking that would alter the tread and make them ineligible for return if needed. Most building codes restrict any variation of more than 3/8 inch between any riser. If you glued these treads down to your original stair tread, your stair would not meet current building codes. Add to that, just an inch of riser variation presents the potential for a trip-hazard.

A:  Hi Joyce, the answer to your question depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Please call our Customer Service Team at 678-455-5188 (M-F, 8am-4pm ET) so we can better understand your question. Thank you!
