Statement Stairs

/


In the ever growing world of home improvement there are many ways to make your home unique or give it a custom twist when remodeling. The first step to creating your perfect stairs is determining what type of wood you’re going to go with, or maybe you have existing wood stairs in need of a makeover. Some great ways to make your stairs unique to your home are by adding a custom inlay, like we created in the photo below, using unique railings, or opting to use character grade wood, which has more knots and “imperfections” that make the wood more eye-catching. Plus with character grade wood, no one piece is the same, which will give you a look unlike anyone else's! Tricks like these will help you create bold statement stairs for any space!

Lace-In or Weave-In Tips For Hardwood

/

Lace-in or weave-in tips for hardwood:

1. Try to remove a board and find a mill stamp. If you can find that, consult with a supplier to find the best match to the characteristics of the existing floor.

2. Lace in within a 2-3’ space of the existing wood. Don’t go past 3’. It’s timing consuming, more expensive, and unecessary.

3. Do not stair step your seem pattern. But give thought to the arrangement of seems because it’s easy to line them up with minimal board removal.

4. Glue every tongue and groove that isn’t getting nailed.

5. Sand on a 45 degree angle (or less) to remove substantial over wood (1/16”+)
