The House of Forgings 48-60″ RetroFit Return Tread Kit with Riser is designed for stair remodeling when replacing carpet with hardwood treads, available in Red Oak. This kit includes a tread with attached trim and a 7.5″ riser that is paintable or stainable. The tread measures 48″, 54″, or 60″ in length, 10.5″ in depth, with a top layer of 1/8″ thick Red Oak and an overall thickness of 11/16″. It features a return on both sides, allowing you to cut off the unused side or leave both as needed. Installation involves three steps: 1) Remove carpet, 2) Trim and glue down the retrofit tread kit, 3) Paint and stain.

These are very high quality stair retread parts. They are real multi-laminate plywood with a thick layer of veneer. Most others are MDF with a really thin laminate and cost more.
