Finish steps and landings with the Belgard Belmont Stair Tread/Cap, a large-format concrete stair tread with a hand-chiseled, natural-stone look. At 52" × 13" × 2", each piece spans a full step in one drop — no cutting, no piecing together — with a smooth structured top to walk on and a chiseled front edge that reads like quarried bluestone. The Bluestone finish is a cool blue-grey. Belgard (Oldcastle APG) casts it from concrete with natural aggregates and backs it with a lifetime transferable limited warranty.

How Much Do You Need?
Each tread is 52" long × 13" deep, covering about 4.7 square feet of step surface. Measure your total tread length, divide by the 52" piece length to estimate pieces, and add one for cuts at returns. Lay two back-to-back to build a full landing between elevations. (Coverage based on nominal dimensions — we’ll confirm at pickup.)
Where It Works
- Front-entry and garden steps between patios, lawns, and terraces
- Landings — set two treads back-to-back for the platform
- Caps on seat walls, piers, and low garden walls
- Pool-deck and outdoor-kitchen step transitions
Unlike natural bluestone that varies piece to piece and needs hand-fitting, the Belmont tread is a consistent large-format unit that drops in fast and delivers the chiseled-stone look without the quarry-stone price or labor.
How to Install the Belmont Stair Tread/Cap
- Build a level, compacted base or set the tread on a structural step core or concrete substrate.
- Dry-lay the tread to check overhang and fit; aim for a slight forward pitch to shed water.
- Set in a bed of polymer-modified mortar or hardscape adhesive and tap level.
- For landings, butt two treads back-to-back; for runs, align each step in the stack.
- Finish coordinating wall tops with Belmont Caps (sold separately).

Drop in full-width steps and landings fast with the Belgard Belmont Stair Tread/Cap, a large-format hand-chiseled concrete stair tread built for production crews. Each 52 x 13 x 2-inch unit spans a complete tread in one piece, so there is no cutting, mitering, or hand-fitting on site. The Bluestone finish gives a quarried blue-grey look with a smooth structured top and a chiseled front edge, and it is sold by the square foot for clean take-offs.

Coverage and Take-Offs
Each tread covers about 4.7 square feet of step surface (52 in. x 13 in.). Divide total tread length by the 52-inch piece length for a piece count, add one per run for cut returns, and figure two treads back-to-back per landing. Order by the square foot and confirm pitch and substrate before setting.
Where to Spec It
- Entry and garden steps: single-piece treads between patios, lawns, and terraces.
- Landings: two treads set back-to-back form the platform between runs.
- Wall and pier caps: finish seat walls, piers, and low garden walls.
- Transitions: pool-deck and outdoor-kitchen step risers.
Unlike natural bluestone that varies in thickness and color and needs hand-fitting, the Belmont tread is a dimensionally consistent unit that sets fast and delivers the chiseled-stone look without quarry-stone cost or labor.
