Hi All,

I'm on the tail end of a basement refinishing project and have two
questions:

1. Are pre-finished stair treads (for interior staircase) common and
something I would be able to find easily, or do they typically sell
them as unfinished? I'm looking to avoid the toxic aroma associated
with finishing them in their entirety if it can be avoided.

What "toxic aroma"?

Perhaps 'unhealthy aroma' would have been a better choice of words.
I'm talking about the smell of the polyurethane which would require
open windows until it abates, but as I've also learned (having
previously painted with an oil-based primer) which would also be
susceptible to creating an exhaust-like smell due to hot-water,
dryer, or furnace pilot igniting the fumes....
