Wire-Brushed Stair Treads

Viewrail has added wire-brushed stair treads to its collection of treads for Flight, Stratus and Terrace floating stair systems. They are also available as stand-alone items.

The process of wire brushing wood with the grain brings out the unique aspects of each grain of the tread, producing a weathered or aged look, as well as a tactile feel and a more vibrant appearance. The exposed heartwood is more resistant to normal wear.

Treads come in 15 species, 39 finishes, and six widths (36” to 72”) with left, right or double returns. n VIEWRAIL.COM (866) 261-8013
