Young Manufacturing RetroTreads & RetroCraft Treads

RetroTread® by Young Manufacturing is a solid hardwood overlay system engineered to convert existing carpeted stairs into a beautiful hardwood staircase. The system is designed for renovation, allowing the new tread to be installed directly over the existing structurally sound stair frame after the carpet and pad have been removed. A key technical feature is the integrated extended cove molding on the underside of the nosing; this piece of trim covers the joint between the old tread and the new overlay for a seamless, professional finish without requiring additional molding. Each RetroTread kit also includes a primed white riser, providing a complete tread and riser solution for one step.
