There are plenty of options when it comes to renovating your staircase. So make sure you find out exactly what the possibilities are. Would you like a staircase with the natural look of wood? If so, you could cover your stairs with laminate. Or perhaps that isn’t such a good idea after all?
Wood is a popular interior design material, and with good reason: it has a natural charm and exudes warmth. What’s more, it combines beautifully with other materials, colours and textures. However, it does have its drawbacks: wood requires a fair amount of maintenance, is not moisture-resistant and is also quite expensive. For many people, that last point in particular is the deciding factor in opting not to go for wood after all.
If you’re on a tighter budget, you’ll soon find a product that’s both low-maintenance and affordable. Especially if you want the warm, natural look of wood, laminate can be a good alternative. Laminate is also perfect for your stairs. A staircase renovation using laminate is quick, offers plenty of extra options such as LED lighting and LED strips, and produces a beautiful result. What’s more, there are endless possibilities for matching the stairs to your interior, and the material is very low-maintenance.
So laminate stair treads sound like a good idea. Except that, with heavy use, scratches and scuff marks start to appear on laminate quite quickly. Over time, exposure to sunlight and light also causes colour variations in the material. That’s why you should choose an Upstairs stair renovation.
