Heavy-Duty Treads for Commercial Builds: Meeting Fall Construction Deadlines: 

Autumn is a busy time in commercial construction, as crews push to close building envelopes and complete interior millwork before winter weather arrives. During this high-demand time, it can be difficult to source structural stair treads and platforms that meet heavy foot-traffic demands without warping or other damage — unless you have Gerber Wood Products on your side.

As the nation’s leading supplier of heavy-duty stair components, we provide the wholesale hardwood stair treads Ohio builders count on, including hardwood stair components for commercial architectural projects, fully customized custom stair risers treads, and exact CNC routed stair treads and risers engineered for complex commercial blueprints. Here’s a closer look at how our capabilities and material inventory will help you meet your tight fall construction deadlines.

Heavy Laminations and Vertical Press Capacity

Key to Gerber’s capabilities is our use of heavy vertical presses, which help us achieve maximum structural stability on treads and panels. We can even laminate panels that are 3-4 inches thick. Gluing and splicing large landings, wide platforms, and long spans with these thick panels ensures that the finished products are built to withstand heavy institutional wear.

Material Diversity for High-End Commercial Specs

We also offer over a dozen domestic and exotic hardwood species for stair treads and other products. Some of our most popular wood species include Walnut, Maple, Cherry, and Mahogany. We can help you determine the right material selection for your project based on whether your goal is interior elegance or exterior durability, and depending on which weather-resistant bonding techniques will be best suited for your application.

Precision Fitment with Multi-Axis CNC Routing

CNC routing is a core part of our capabilities, helping ensure a precision fit for every job. Computerized routing beds allow us to execute complex tread shapes, nosings, and riser mortises with absolute accuracy, even across high-volume orders. This equipment also allows us to achieve extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, which can eliminate the need to modify finished parts on the jobsite. This means faster and easier installation for your team.

Wholesale Scalability for Distributors

Our design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to switch seamlessly between low-volume, ultra-thick custom treads and multi-truckload commodity profile runs. Combined with our national freight capabilities, we can quickly provide the treads you need for multi-family and commercial developments.
