The Floor Store in Freehold, New Jersey sells The StareCasing Hardwood Overlay System (no veneers, plywoods or laminates), which offers newly overlayed stairs all the beauty, durability and enduring finish homeowners expect from hardwood flooring at home. The StareCasing System is cost effective and easy-to-install.
This is a simple, innovative approach to converting a carpet covered staircase to the most beautiful of hardwoods in hours using the existing wood stair treads and risers as a foundation for making a new stair of natural hardwood by encasing the existing stair with a solid hardwood overlay.
Hardwood staircases are elegant but converting a carpeted staircase to a hardwood staircase is cost prohibitive and time consuming. The StareCasing Hardwood Flooring Sytem provides homeowners with a stunning centerpiece, without the less affordable price tag.
The system consists of two parts called the StareRiser and the StareTread.
The StareRiser is a hardwood overlay designed to install over the existing riser of the stair, converting the low grade lumber riser to finished hardwood. When used together with the StareTread overlays, the need to build-out the existing risers is also elminated, further simplifying the conversion process.
The StareTread is additionally a hardwood overlay designed specifically for a glove-like fit over the entire existing wood stair tread, including the nosing. The StareTread efficiently converts the existing tread to finished hardwood flooring and eliminates the need to tear out, cut off or modify the existing treads.
Althought its design intent is for the prefabricated stair, the StareTread can be used on any carpeted or worn hardwood staircase.
The StareCasing Hardwood overlays come in a variety of domesticated and imported species to work in most any decor. They are available factory finished in standard and custom stain colors or unfinished. Click HERE to watch a YouTube video for StareCasing.
