{"product_id":"edge-grain-premium-white-oak-floating-stair-treads","title":"Edge Grain Premium White Oak Floating Stair Treads","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhite Oak has earned its place as one of the most requested species for floating staircases — and these Edge Grain Premium White Oak Floating Stair Treads show exactly why. The grain is tight and consistent, the color is a calm, neutral tan with subtle gray undertones, and the overall look is clean without being cold. If your staircase is the focal point of the room, this tread delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Edge Grain Means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge grain refers to how the board is cut from the log. With edge grain construction, the growth rings run more vertically through the face of the board. The result is a tighter, more linear grain pattern that reads as refined and uniform — well-suited to modern, transitional, and Scandinavian-influenced interiors where consistency matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge grain also tends to be more dimensionally stable than flat-sawn cuts, which is a practical advantage on a staircase where the wood is exposed to foot traffic and seasonal humidity changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Grade: What to Expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Premium grade means you're getting clear, select-quality White Oak — minimal knots, tight grain, and a clean face. This is the right choice when the staircase is a design feature and the wood needs to look intentional from every angle. If you prefer a tread with more natural character — knots, mineral streaks, and variation — our \u003cstrong\u003eEdge Grain Rustic White Oak Floating Stair Treads\u003c\/strong\u003e may be a better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Floating Staircases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloating stair treads are different from traditional treads. Because they're supported from the side — by a stringer, bracket, or structural wall — rather than sitting between two closed risers, the tread itself carries more of the structural load. These treads are available in 1\" and 2\" thickness to accommodate different stair systems and span requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposed edges also matter more on a floating stair. With no riser above or below to frame the tread, every surface is visible. That's why edge profile and return options are part of the ordering process here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese treads are available in the following dimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\" to 60\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\", 10.5\", 11\", 11.5\", 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" or 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your project requires dimensions outside this range, call us at \u003cstrong\u003e1-800-874-5181\u003c\/strong\u003e to discuss custom options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEdge Profiles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front edge of the tread — the nosing — affects both the look and the feel of the finished staircase.
