The Hardwood stairs are a great option, to being elegant they give a sophisticated and modern look to our home and can be combined with any paint color that we like for the walls and furniture of our choice.

Stair Tread

The steps of the stairs are the horizontal pieces that form the stairs. The size of each tread can affect both the comfort and safety of climbing stairs.

Stair Risers

Each set of stairs also has risers for each step. The stair lifts are the vertical pieces on the stairs although not all has risers. For example, the levels of the open-air deck often have open backrests instead of having a bit of hardwood there to form elevators.

Advantage:

  • Cleaning. Hardwood Stairs offer a low maintenance option for your home. Hardwood Stairs do not accumulate as much, and cleanup is easier done in sweeping and mopping.

  • Sound. Hardwood Stairs will not provide much sound absorption.

  • Cost. If you have original hardwood floors on your stairs, they may be in good condition to renovate them, could help save on expenses. A general rule is that hardwood can usually be renewed or reused.

The wood-lined stairs are ecological, we can choose any color that we like and can be made of any hardwood, for example bamboo, which resists changes in temperature and humid environments, is as hard as Hardwood.
