Carpet for hardwood stairs.
Our guest today has a lovely hardwood stair remodel to share with us.
The initial work is the preparation for placing hardwood on the stairs.
As a result after removing the carpet the bottom step had a 7 rise and the top step had a 8 5 rise.
The carpet treads for hardwood stairs deliver comfort and ease warmth as well as attractive interest color pattern texture etc.
The previous owner had installed tile near the doorway entry bottom of the stairs and 3 4 thick hardwood in the passageway at the top of the stairs.
Included are carpet pad and tack strip removal along with preparing the actual substrate that calls for removing the existing rough nosing.
Even if you prefer hard surfaces such as hardwood or laminate carpet on the stairs is still a good idea even if it is in the form of a runner on the stairs having carpet on the stairs is infinitely safer than having the stairs covered with hard surface flooring.
If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining.
They are able to behave as art for a floor and they are able to make a frame in which to put furnishings and also establish spaces.
Once it dries apply two coats of clear coat.
Follow the instructions on dry time.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
We loved our remodeled painted and stained wood staircase in our last house see the reveal here and check out all the steps here.
