Wood Stairs
Wood staircases are the most common form of stairs built in the world.
Wood is one of the most renewable resources on the planet. Wood is
relatively inexpensive and therefore a great choice when constructing
homes and stairways.
Building a straight set of wood stairs can seem like an extremely
difficult task but with a little help in a few pictures anyone should be
able to do it. The nice thing about Wood is if you make a mistake it
will not cost you as much as if you are using other materials such as
steel.
Wood stairs are in excellent choice as a finish and seem to be extremely
durable when used on the interior of a house. Wood used on an exterior
projects such as a deck will show where due to the weather over a period
of time. If you use the correct wood and sealer this will prolong the
life of your outdoor Wood Project.
Wood stairs can be covered with carpeting and tile on the inside of the
house. On the outside of the House wood can be covered with outdoor
carpet , paint or a latex modified product such as dex a tex which
produces a water proof membrane over the Wood. This waterproof membrane
if done properly will extend the life of your Wood stairs. |
