This guide is for use with NBCC 2015 Combine SturdiStep® treads with TimberStrand® LSL
and CSA O86-14. stair stringers for a solid, stable stair system
SturdiStep® stair treads are manufactured to be flat, straight, and a precise thickness. They are also
warranted against delamination. Unlike traditional pine stair treads SturdiStep® treads are knot-

Canadian Design 6-7 Suitable for use in residential and multifamily construction, SturdiStep® treads offer precision,
Product Warranty 8 convenience, less waste and lower costs.
SturdiStep® stair treads offer:

• Sizes convenient for cutting to length at the jobsite:
Eastern markets: 1" x 10¼" x 16' and 1" x 11½" x 16'
Western markets: 1" x 11½" x 12'
• Uniform, knot-free treads that won't cup or split when properly installed
• Bullnosed edges that enhance appearance and save labor at the jobsite
Installation notes
•
Clear span between stringers shall not exceed 45" and fasteners and adhesives shall be as noted below.
•
SturdiStep® stair treads must be supported at both front and back by a full-length, minimum 19/32" riser that is
fastened with nails and subfloor adhesive that has been qualified as a Class 1/8 in., Type P/O subfloor adhesive in
accordance with ASTM D3498-19.
•
The back riser must extend down flush with or past the bottom of the tread.
•
Treads must be glued and nailed to the front riser with 8d (0.131" x 2½") finish nails, spaced a maximum of 12" on-center.
•
The nosing must not extend more than 11⁄4" beyond the riser. Be sure tread and riser dimensions (rise and run) comply
with applicable code requirements.

For 2-ply stringers, attach together with 2 rows of 0.131" x 21/2" at 12" on center.
Use 0.131" x 3" nails for 13/4" stringers.
General Guidelines for Calculating Step Rise
■

Use subfloor adhesive to improve stair performance and minimize squeaks.
See adhesive recommendations on page 2.
and Run
■
The rise times the run should equal approximately 75".
■
K eep materials dry. Add a vapor barrier at the bottom of the stair stringer
if it is in contact with concrete. ■
Two times the rise plus one run should equal approximately 25".
■
Rise plus run should be 17" to 18".
