Custom 8070 Landing Platform
A monumental pause in your ascent. The 8070 Landing Platform is a solid, edge-glued hardwood surface designed to cover the intermediate turns (landings) of your staircase. Unlike installing individual flooring planks which breaks the visual continuity, this bespoke platform offers a seamless, expansive grain pattern that perfectly matches your treads. Fabricated to your specific length and depth, it creates a unified, furniture-grade transition point that defines the structural elegance of the stairwell.
Key Specifications:
Application: Intermediate Landings (L-Shape or U-Shape turns)
Thickness: 1″ Solid Hardwood (Matches 8070 Treads)
Construction: Continuous Face-Grain (Edge-glued solid staves)

Core Characteristics
Domestic Hardwood
North American hardwood forests are responsibly managed and highly renewable. Using domestic hardwood reduces reliance on imported wood, lowers transportation emissions, and supports sustainable forestry practices.
Strength & Durability
Solid wood stair treads provide a firm, stable surface with no bounce, flex, or hollow feeling underfoot. Each step feels sturdy and well-supported confidence and security as they move up and down the staircase
Sustainability
North American hardwood forests are responsibly managed and highly renewable. Using domestic hardwood reduces reliance on imported wood, lowers transportation emissions, and supports sustainable forestry practices.
Premium Quality
We are committed to the highest standards of material selection, craftsmanship, and performance. Each tread is manufactured to deliver lasting reliability, refined appearance, and long-term value.
Reduced Allergen
One of the main advantages of wood stairs for allergy sufferers is the reduced allergen accumulation. Unlike carpet, which has fibers that can trap and hold dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens, wood stairs have a hard, flat surface. This means allergens cannot embed themselves deep within the material, instead they remain on the surface where they are easy to see and remove.
Multiple Refinishes
One of the most valuable features of solid wood stair treads is their ability to be sanded and refinished multiple times throughout their lifespan. This capability ensures that your stairs retain their beauty, functionality, and long-term value for decades.
Value Added
Solid wood stair treads are more than just functional - they are a long-term investment in both quality and aesthetics. Their natural beauty, durability, and craftsmanship elevate the overall look and feel of a home or building, creating a sense of luxury and attention to detail that buyers and visitors immediately notice.
Stability
Stair treads play a critical role in providing a stable, secure, and comfortable experience when using a staircase. Properly designed and manufactured treads ensure each step is solid underfoot, minimizing movement and enhancing safety.
Hardness
The hardness of wood used in stair treads is a critical factor in durability, safety, and long-term performance. Hardness is a measure of a wood species’ resistance to dents, scratches, and wear, and it directly affects how well the stairs perform under daily use. Red Oak has a compressive strength of 6,760 psi and bending strength of 14,300 psi and White Oak as compressive strength of 7,400 psi and bending strength of 15,200 psi.
Noise Reduction
Solid wood stair treads naturally absorb the impact of footsteps, reducing echo and footstep noise compared to harder materials like metal or stone. This sound-dampening effect helps contain noise between floors, which is especially beneficial in multi-level homes, condos, or commercial buildings, improving privacy and creating a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Easy to Clean
Wood stair treads are naturally smooth and non-porous when properly finished, which makes them simple to maintain. Unlike carpet that traps dirt, dust, and allergens, wood surfaces can be quickly cleaned with minimal effort.
Warmth & Timeless Beauty
Solid wood stair treads bring a rare combination of comfort and enduring style to the home. Unlike colder materials such as stone, tile, or metal, wood naturally provides warmth—both in its physical feel underfoot and in its welcoming, organic appearance. Beyond comfort, wood stair treads deliver timeless beauty. The rich grains, natural color variations, and polished finishes of hardwoods create a staircase that never goes out of style. Whether paired with classic interiors or modern designs, wood seamlessly adapts, enhancing the home’s character and elegance for decades.
Customization
The primary benefit of choosing wood stair treads is the high degree of customization they offer, allowing you to create a staircase that is truly unique and perfectly integrated into your home's design. This customization goes beyond just a basic choice of color and extends to multiple key areas: wood species, shapes, edge profiles and complementary design elements.
Building Codes
Conforms to local and national building codes. High-quality wood stair treads are designed and manufactured to comply with national and local building codes, ensuring safety, reliability, and structural integrity for residential and commercial applications. Using code-compliant treads provides peace of mind for homeowners, builders, and architects alike.

When selecting wood for your stair parts, the above wood species are those that can seamlessly match or complement your existing hardwood flooring. This is why you will often find stair treads, risers, and handrails made from the same types of wood that are popular for flooring.
This approach creates a cohesive and professional look throughout your home, making the staircase a natural extension of the room’s design. Matching the wood species ensures a consistent grain pattern and color, providing a finished aesthetic that elevates the entire space.
