To source red oak stair treads and matching flooring together, approve their color and overall appearance as a coordinated selection while keeping dimensions, quantities, construction and order conditions separate. Request flooring and stair samples for joint review, then confirm each product against its own written specification and drawings.
SONGLINFLOOR’s AB grade three-meter red oak flooring and AB grade stair treads and stair risers have been developed as coordinated products. Matching refers to color, wood species and overall visual coordination. It does not mean identical oak face thickness, identical construction or completely uniform natural color.
For US importers, wholesalers and dealers, the first step is a purchasing schedule that clearly identifies what is required for each product.
1. Prepare Flooring Area and Stair Quantities Separately
State the required flooring area in square meters, then list stair treads and stair risers by piece count and required size. Do not describe the whole requirement only as a flooring area.
For the stairs, identify each component’s intended use and connect it to the relevant drawing. Separate standard rectangular pieces from shaped components and clearly identify any pieces that differ.
If quantities are preliminary, label them accordingly. Confirm the final schedule before order acceptance rather than allowing an early estimate to become the production instruction.
The flooring MOQ is 500 square meters. Stair boards can be discussed for smaller-quantity orders, with their MOQ negotiated separately. Neither the flooring minimum nor a proposed stair quantity should be automatically applied to the other product.
Ordering both products in one purchasing discussion does not establish mixed loading, combined packaging or a shared production batch.
2. Compare Flooring, Tread and Riser Specifications
Both product types use multilayer engineered construction. The listed substrate description is poplar/eucalyptus plywood, with the specific configuration confirmed by order. It does not establish a mixed-layer arrangement or layer count.
The most important thickness distinction is the oak face: 6 mm for the flooring and 2 mm for the stair boards.
| Item | Three-Meter Red Oak Flooring | Red Oak Stair Treads | Red Oak Stair Risers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Species | Red oak | Red oak | Red oak |
| Grade | AB | AB | AB |
| Reference dimensions | 3000 × 190 × 20/6 mm | 1220 × 330 × 20/2 mm* | 1220 × 178 × 20/2 mm* |
| Total thickness | 20 mm | 20 mm | 20 mm |
| Oak face thickness | 6 mm | 2 mm | 2 mm |
| Construction | Multilayer engineered | Multilayer engineered | Multilayer engineered |
| Substrate | Poplar/eucalyptus plywood; configuration confirmed by order | Poplar/eucalyptus plywood; configuration confirmed by order | Poplar/eucalyptus plywood; configuration confirmed by order |
| Surface | Brushed, smoked | Brushed | Brushed |
| Finish | UV Lacquered | UV Lacquered | UV Lacquered |
| Listed color | Natural Oak/Stain | Natural Oak/Stain | Natural Oak/Stain |
| Confirmed customization | Color | Size, shaped pieces and color | Size, shaped pieces and color |
| MOQ | 500 m² | Negotiated separately | Negotiated separately |
The stair dimensions are references. Their correspondence to tread and riser use must be confirmed in writing for the project before drawings.
Keep these distinctions visible in the inquiry and order. Do not transfer the flooring’s smoked treatment to stair boards or describe every component as having a 6 mm oak face.
3. Resolve Stair Details Through Drawings
Reference board dimensions are not complete stair-component instructions. Submit project drawings showing the required pieces and the details that need review.
Ask for confirmation of the tread front edge, nosing, shaped profiles, grooves, connections and installation interfaces. Where a detail is unresolved, identify it as a question rather than adding an assumed dimension.
Connect each drawing reference to the piece schedule so the quantity and intended use can be checked together. Review proposed changes before approving production information.
Do not treat the listed board thickness or a photograph of a rounded edge as evidence of a verified stair system. Load capacity, slip resistance and certification coverage are not established by the supplied reference information.
The flooring lists glue-down installation. Any flooring application must follow the actual product guidance. Its stated underfloor-heating suitability is conditional on the product installation guide and heating-system requirements; that statement must not be extended automatically to stair components.
4. Approve Color and Grade Across Both Sample Sets
Request flooring and stair samples for the same color discussion. Label them by product so the approved flooring reference remains distinguishable from the tread and riser references.
Review the samples together, assessing the intended relationship rather than expecting identical boards. If one selection needs adjustment, state which product is being revised and keep the accepted version of each sample clear.
Both products are AB grade, but AB should not be interpreted as completely knot-free. Agree the appearance requirements in writing and use representative samples to support that agreement.
Keep grade, color and finish as separate approval items. A shared color name does not confirm every surface process or construction detail.
Red oak may also be described as American Red Oak in the product information. This identifies the wood species and must not be used to claim that the finished flooring or stair boards are manufactured in the United States.
5. Confirm Packaging and Component Identification
Before placing the order, explain how your receiving team needs to identify the flooring, treads, risers and shaped pieces.
Ask for the proposed packaging arrangement and what product or drawing references can be shown on labels. If project, component or order identifiers are required, submit those requests for review.
Packaging quantities, protective arrangements, custom labels and combined loading have not been confirmed. Do not assume that placing a coordinated order includes these services.
Use the following checklist to organize the final discussion.
| Confirmation Item | Buyer’s Submission or Approval |
|---|---|
| Flooring quantity | Required area and confirmation against the 500 m² MOQ |
| Stair quantities | Separate tread and riser counts, with MOQ agreed |
| Dimensions | Flooring specification and project-confirmed stair sizes |
| Drawing references | Component identification, shapes, front edges, nosing, grooves and interfaces |
| Grade | Written AB appearance requirements and corresponding samples |
| Color and finish | Approved reference for each product; surface processes recorded separately |
| Construction | Correct oak face thickness and confirmed plywood configuration |
| Packaging | Requested arrangement and supplier’s written response |
| Identification | Proposed product, order and drawing-reference labels |
| Samples and schedule | Accepted versions, production arrangements and separate transportation planning |
6. Separate Sample Production, Manufacturing and Receipt
Sample production takes 10–15 days for both product types. Confirm the sample scope, charges and transportation separately. The stated period does not mean free samples or delivery within 10–15 days.
Production takes 50 days after receipt of deposit, subject to the specific order confirmation. Payment is by T/T, with detailed terms agreed for the order.
Matching production periods do not guarantee that flooring and stairs will be produced in the same batch, completed together or shipped together. Confirm the arrangement for each product and any proposed coordination.
Distinguish production completion, dispatch and actual receipt in the US. No transportation duration is established here, so do not convert the 50-day production statement into an arrival commitment.
State your destination and required receiving date when submitting the brief. This allows the outstanding schedule questions to be addressed without assuming US stock or domestic fulfillment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does matching mean the flooring and stairs have the same construction?
No. They are coordinated in species, color and overall appearance. The flooring has a 6 mm oak face, while the stair boards have a 2 mm oak face.
2. Does the 500 m² MOQ apply to stair treads and risers?
No. It applies to the flooring. Stair-board MOQ is negotiated separately.
3. Are the reference stair sizes ready-to-use project dimensions?
No. Confirm the size-to-use correspondence, component details and quantities through project drawings and written approval.
4. Can the color be exactly identical across all components?
Do not assume an exact natural color match. Review both sample sets together and agree the intended coordination while allowing for natural wood variation.
5. Are the stair boards smoked like the flooring?
The confirmed stair specification lists brushing and UV lacquer. Do not automatically add the flooring’s smoked treatment.
6. Will the two products arrive together?
That has not been established. Confirm production, packaging, loading and transportation arrangements separately before making a receiving commitment.
Request Coordinated Samples or Submit Drawings
Send SONGLINFLOOR your company name, US destination, flooring area, tread and riser quantities, target color and required receiving date. Attach available drawings and identify any unresolved component details.
Request both flooring and stair samples so the appearance can be reviewed together before each product’s specification is confirmed.
