Custom Thick Landing Platforms

Product Description

Search no further — use the Custom Thick Landing Platform Designer to select the dimensions and style to suit your unique stairway. Each of our custom platforms are crafted from high-quality wood, stained and finished to accentuate the beauty of your wood species selection. Choose your favorite detailing features, including thickness, nosing style, and texture such as distressed or hand scraped. Crafted for your home, just the way you want it.

Note, wood products may have varying amounts of staves due to the varying thicknesses of lumber that comes in each bunk and the width of the product.

• • Depth refers to the distance from the front of the landing to the back of the landing (the body of the landing), but does NOT include the return material (available in 1″, 1 ¼”, and 1 ½”).
  • Width refers to the distance between the left and right sides of the landing, NOT including the returned edging material (1 ¼” per side with returned edging). For example, a platform with a Double Return will have an overall width 2 ½” wider than the number indicated in the “width” column above.
  • Thickness can be customized from 1 ½” to 4”. If you are looking for a thinner style of landing platform, take a look at the Custom Landing Platform Designer or the Custom Replacement Landing Platform Designer. Give us a call if you have any questions!
  • Returns are mitered nosing used to create a more finished look, concealing all end grains and adding a touch of style. There are three configurations of returned edges available: Left, Right, and Double. NOTE: If both sides of the stair platform fit against a wall, you do not need returned edges.

To determine if a Left or Right Returned edge is required, stand at the bottom of the stairway and look up. If the right side is exposed, then you need a Right Returned Edge. If the left side is exposed, then you need a Left Returned Edge.

Double Return stair landings are needed when both edges of the platform are exposed. This style of landing requires a special measurement called the “throat cut”, which you will need to provide when you place your order. To find the throat cut of your Double Return landing, measure the length between the inside of the Left and Right Returned Edges (Each Returned Edge is 1 ¼”, so a Double Return has 2 ½” of additional width).

With the exception of Double Returns, all Left, Right, and No Return Replacement Platfroms are sent to you with up to an extra 1” of material on the end with no return. This additional allowance may be trimmed on-site to match the exact curve of your unique wall, ensuring a snug fit.

• Nosing Style comes standard on the front edge of our landings in a ⅛” roundover style.

Clear Finish & Stain Information

StairSupplies™ offers several premium stain and finish options for our products, depending on the product’s use. For Thick Landing Platforms we offer both clear finishes and stains. Select a clear finish if you want to draw out the natural beauty and colors of the wood. If you prefer deeper, richer tones, our custom-mixed stains are the ideal choice for your Thick Landing Platforms.

All tread materials and products that are used underfoot are finished with a Conversion Varnish. Strong and resilient, this varnish is standard in the hardwood flooring industry. Our team of experts apply this specialty product onto each platform using a spray applicator for even, flawless coverage to protect your replacement landing platform against heavy wear and tear.

Wood Grain & Color Variation

At StairSupplies™ we believe that natural wood colors and visual textures add character to our products. With that in mind, we strive to match the grain and color of all of our wood products as closely as possible. However, due to the natural variation of wood products, there may be instances in which a perfect grain and color match is not possible. By ordering from StairSupplies™, you acknowledge that you are receiving a uniquely crafted product and there may be some variation in the grain and color of your wood products.
