Abstract

The stairtread has the aesthetic appearance of a solid hardwood stairtread and presents a structural stability comparable to that of hardwood treads, but comprises a core layer made of lamellas of lower quality material glued laterally adjacent to each other. On the top surface of the core layer are glued laterally adjacent to each other top lamellas of higher quality wood. Underneath lamellas made of higher quality wood may also be glued laterally adjacent to each other on the bottom surface of the core layer to form a tread of which the underside is made of higher quality wood covering the lower quality core. Finally an elongate nose member is applied and glued to a longitudinal edge surface of the core layer. Use of lower quality material such as low quality wood helps to preserve our natural resources and to reduce consumption of higher quality wood material becoming every day more rare and difficult to obtain.
