Journey Homes Case Study | EcoTread® Residential Stair Treads
Location: Greeley, Colorado
Architect: RMG Architects & Engineers
General Contractor: Journey Homes
The Project
Journey Homes builds comfortable, affordable new homes and apartments in many communities throughout Northern Colorado. Nystrom was proud to partner with Journey Homes providing a non-abrasive grit stair tread option for the covered, exterior stairways on its new three-story, 21-unit Trails at Sheep Draw Apartments. The builder needed to cover its open-riser staircases with stair treads that matched the profile of the designed stairs, while also providing slip resistance, weather resistance, and easy cleaning and maintenance. Nystrom 11-inch STRB-L11D-ECO renovation treads offered the best solution to making the stairways safe, slip resistant and simple to maintain.
Journey Homes apartments prioritized aesthetics and safety for this project. The renovation tread is easy to install, while meeting these important requirements. EcoTread inserts also increase the longevity of both the nosings and the stairs.
“We came across Nystrom stair nosings with the abrasive grit a while back and started using them on our units,” said Morgan Kidder, Project Manager, Journey Homes. “We then switched to EcoTread and are very pleased with it. The EcoTread™ is holding up amazingly well, we’ve had no issues at all. We really like Nystrom products and service.”
