ASK HAVWOODS | ADVICE FROM OUR WOOD EXPERTS
Q: How do you install wooden stair treads and risers?
Havwoods stair treads and risers are designed to create a seamless transition between timber flooring and a staircase. Our 3-layer engineered oak stair tread and riser kits can be cut to size on site and installed using one of two methods, depending on the construction of the staircase. Available with flush, bullnose or square-edged profiles, the kits can be supplied unfinished or colour-matched to complement your chosen Havwoods flooring.
Below, our installation videos demonstrate both the standard non-batten and batten installation methods step by step.

Why should you match your staircase to your wood flooring?
Anthony Scott, our Global Product and Innovation Director provides his expert advice:
"Stairs are often a natural continuation of the floor, so using the same style or colour across both areas creates a much more considered overall space. Our engineered oak tread and riser kits can be colour-matched to complement our flooring products, helping the staircase feel integrated into the wider scheme rather than treated as a separate element. With different edge profiles available and the ability to cut the components to size on site, there’s also flexibility to achieve the right finish for the individual staircase.”
