Very thin oak flooring needed to clad stairs. Does it exist?

[powerbooksub]

Hi

I would like to clad a wooden staircase with real oak. Ideally I would like to use a 6 or 7mm board (which I imagine at this thickness will be all wood and no ply). I don't want to use the thicker boards (i.e. 15-20mm).

I was planning to fix the oak layer with proper Sika adhesive.

Q1. Is this product for sale anywhere? Ideally lacquered.

Q2. If not, what is the thinnest board I can get with a real oak top layer (preferably lacquered).

Thanks a lot.

We can supply you with 6.2mm unfinished Solid Oak strips/blocks - don't think this thickness comes pre-finished.

Thanks for the reply. I am def interested. Please can I have more details, i.e. sizes. Is there any T&G at this thickness? Also, how difficult is it to cut with 1mm precision? Prices also please!

Thanks

You do realize that this is a quick route to a broken neck?

Yes, but don't they look nice!

Not when you add these to them:

Stair mats, ideal for wooden stairs

Not as simple as buying sheet - what about the nosings.

Looked into it a couple of years ago and decided against it but did find this

But - If the stairs are a straight run a new set of stairs is almost as cheap.
