Stair treads are steps that can easily be installed over existing stairs. With our range of bamboo stair treads, you can renovate an old staircase quickly and affordably, instead of investing in costly staircase restoration or installing a brand-new staircase.
Bamboo is also harder and more stable than regular solid wood, which makes it less prone to cupping.
Standard dimensions for the generally carbonised, plain-pressed bamboo stair treads are 100 x 23 x 5 cm, and they can easily be cut to size during installation. If you need other dimensions or treads with non-slip strips, don’t hesitate to get in touch for a custom quote.
The bamboo stair tread is perfectly finished with a mitred angle and beautifully sanded edges. Our bamboo stair treads are supplied unfinished and are best finished with Bamboo Topcoat varnish for optimal protection against wear, stains and colour change.

Stair tread installation
Installing bamboo stair treads is not difficult for the average DIY enthusiast. Of course, it’s important to measure the existing stairs carefully and cut the treads accurately to size. The goal is a perfect, gap-free fit against the wall.
- We recommend using a circular saw to cut the bamboo panel. Make sure you cut from top to bottom to avoid chipped edges. If you use a jigsaw, use a reverse-tooth blade (with the teeth pointing downward) for a clean cut in the wood. When stapling, write the corresponding number of the existing tread on the back of the bamboo stair tread cover.
- Bamboo stair treads can be glued to almost any surface. The quality of the adhesive is important so the treads don’t come loose over time. We recommend using a good acoustic sealant with sound-insulating properties.
- When installing the treads, start at the top of the stairs so you don’t have to walk on the new treads. Apply adhesive to the old tread and the edge of the old step, and position the bamboo stair tread cover according to the matching number you wrote on the back. Press firmly so the adhesive bonds tightly to the new stair covers.
